Stress assignment in reading aloud in Spanish

Correct stress assignment is a requirement for fluent reading in alphabetic languages. This study focuses on two non-lexical mechanisms at the core of stress assignment. In particular, the use of a default stress pattern (e.g., penultimate stress) and the Spanish stress mark. In experiment 1, partic...

This study focuses on two non-lexical mechanisms at the core of stress assignment. In particular, the use of a default stress pattern (e.g., penultimate stress) and the Spanish stress mark. In experiment 1, participants read aloud words and pseudowords with different stress types (on the antepenultimate or the penultimate syllable), and with or without a stress mark. Results showed longer reaction times for words and pseudowords with antepenultimate stress. However, as words with antepenultimate stress always have a stress mark, it could be argued that stress type differences could be due to the presence of the stress mark. In experiment 2, using a priming procedure participants read aloud words and pseudowords in pure versus mixed stress blocks. Again, words and pseudowords with antepenultimate stress were read slower (longer reaction times), suggesting that previous differences were due to stress mark rather than stress type. These results indicate that processing stress marks is cognitively demanding when reading in Spanish.This study was funded by grants PSI2011-29155 and PSI2015-64174P from the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Spanish Government.Cambridge University Press202420242020info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1017/S014271642000020Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/10953/3636reponame:RUJA.
