Abstract

Two word-spotting experiments were conducted to assess

the role of syllable onsets and offsets in lexical

segmentation. Participants detected CVC words embedded

initially or finally in bisyllabic nonce strings with aligned CVC.CVC or non-aligned CV.CCVC syllabic structure.

Misalignment of word and syllable onsets in the spotting

of item-final words produced a greater perceptual cost

than the misalignment of word and syllable offsets. These

results support the view that the syllabic structure of

continuous speech is mainly used to locate potential word

onsets. The implications of these findings for the nature of

spoken word recognition are discussed.
