| Abstract(in English) | Previous studies of phonetic cueing of focus structure have indicated that the role of fundamental frequency(F0). The current study examined the role of F0 in focus perception. Subjects select the word emphasized by a speaker for each stimulus, in which the F0 values were changed at three points:the F0 minimum point (dip) between the two words in a noun phrase, and the F0 maximum point (peak) in each word. Results showed that F0 contributes to perceiving emphasized word(s). We found that the differences between the two peak values largely determined the subjects' judgment. Furthermore, it is suggested that the dip has an influence on focus perception. |
