| Abstract(in English) | As a way to assess Japanese speakers' perceptual difficulties in English prosody, 24 Japanese were asked to count syllables in spoken English words and non-words. Results indicate that perfonmance is affected by properties of the non-words such as the number of initial and final consonants, vowel type, and voicing of final consonant clusters. Feed-back based training dramatically improves the overall ability of Japanese listeners to count syllables in English words, from 48.2% correct before training to 80.8% correct after training. |
