"Voornaam" Is Not (Really) a Homophone: Lexical Prosody and Lexical Access in Dutch.

Cutler, Anne; van Donselaar, Wilma

Language and Speech, v44 n2 p171-196 Jun 2001

Examined Dutch listeners' use of suprasegmental information in spoken-word recognition. Isolated syllables exised from minimal stress pairs such as "VOORnaam/voorNAAM" could be reliably assigned to their source words. Results indicate that Dutch listeners effectively exploit suprasegmental cues in recognizing spoken words. (Author/VWL)
