The role of lexical stress in word recognition and pronunciation

  • Published:
Psychological Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In the present paper several studies are reviewed that are relevant to lexical-stress assignment. The questions asked concern the form of representation of stress and its role in the perception and identification of words in auditory and visual word recognition. The role of stress is also considered in the computation of phonology, as are the linguistic and orthographic constraints that influence its assignment during reading.
