title: Secondary stress in Brazilian Portuguese: the interplay between production and perception studies creator: Arantes, Pablo creator: Barbosa, Plinio A. subject: Phonology description: This paper reports experiments on speech production showing that secondary stress in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) can be best described as phrase-initial prominence cued by greater duration and pitch accent excursion in initial position. It also reports a perception experiment in which clicks were associated to consecutive V-to-V positions in stress groups. Mean click detection RTs are gradient, but show no influence of initial lengthening. RTs near the phrasally stressed position are shorter and almost 60% of RT variance can be accounted for by produced timing patterns. publisher: Technische Universität Dresden Press date: 2006 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/5405/1/arantes_barbosa_speech-prosody2006.pdf identifier: Arantes, Pablo and Barbosa, Plinio A.
