Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Previous studies have shown that prosodic information plays an important role in spoken word recognition (Sekiguchi et al., 1999). However, it still remains unclear exactly how and when listeners use prosodic cues in the word recognition process. In addition, no study has been conducted to examine the role of prosodic information on spoken word recognition for L2 learners. This study aims to answer the questions of whether or not L2 learners utilize prosodic information incrementally by investigating exactly how and when Chinese learners of Japanese use accentual information in the course of word recognition process. We conducted eye-tracking experiments with a visual world paradigm, using artificial Japanese words. We measured eye movements of Chinese L2 learners of Japanese during a word identification task where they choose one picture out of three that corresponds to the sound stimulation.
