Processing of stress contrast in a sequence recall task by Croatian speakers
Phonological system includes segmental, but also rhythmical and prosodic features which can have discriminative role and dissociate lexical units. Depending on prosodic characteristics of the native language, speakers can differ in their ability to process and represent prosodic features. Dupoux et al. (2001) showed that French speakers have a marked difficulty to process stress information ("stress deafness"), as compared to Spanish speakers. The suggested background of this difficulty is that in French stress is non-discriminative, but in Spanish the location of stress carries lexical information (e.g. Spanish). In the present study, we investigated the stress processing performance of Croatian speakers. In Croatian, suprasegmental features can have discriminatory role, but the stress location rarely dissociates two lexical units, thereby Croatian differs from languages presented above. In the experiment, the sequence recall task (Dupoux et al, 2001) was used in order to avoid discrimination based on direct acoustical cues. High phonological variability, high memory load and limited time ensured that speakers used abstract mental representations of phonological features. Participants were monolingual adult speakers of Croatian. The results showed no differences between phonological processing on segmental and suprasegmental level in Croatian speakers. These results will be used to plan future research and to study special populations.
