Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relation of word stress to
word segmentation in a cross-linguistic perspective. Word segmentation is the
division of continuous speech into words by listeners; a non-trivial task,
since spoken language is fast and words are not divided by silences despite
listeners' strong intuition to the contrary. This intuition may originate from
the fact that language is equipped with many cues to word boundaries, most of
them language-specific. Word stress is hypothesized to be one of these cues.
The thesis takes a typologically broad cross-linguistic approach to the use of
edge-aligned word stress in processing and it is concerned with
language-specificity, the direction of processing and the abstract nature of
stress as a leading beat on the one hand, and a grouping cue on the other. The
thesis concludes with an excursion into first language acquisition, regarding
the issue of whether word stress can be inferred from the distribution of
stress patterns in continuous speech.
