Towards a Native OPERA Hypothesis: Musicianship and English Stress Perception

William Choi

Summary: This study found that musical experience can enhance stress discrimination among native listeners, with musicians showing superior performance compared to non-musicians in an English stress discrimination task. The advantage was observed for both trochaic and iambic stress patterns, with differential use of acoustic cues by musicians for iambic stress and enhanced durational sensitivity for trochaic stress.

Korean listeners' processing of suprasegmental lexical contrasts in Korean and English: A cue-based transfer approach

Hyoju Kim et al.

Summary: This study investigates the transfer of listeners' use of prosodic cues from their native language to a second/foreign language. Results showed that Gyeongsang-Korean listeners outperformed Seoul-Korean listeners in processing English lexical stress, suggesting a cue-based transfer approach to L2 lexical stress processing.

Musicianship Influences Language Effect on Musical Pitch Perception

William Choi

Summary: The research found an interactive effect of language and musicianship on musical pitch perception, but not on rhythmic perception. Cantonese language experience seemed to facilitate musical pitch perception, but only among non-musicians. Musicians did not show any perceptual advantage from Cantonese language experience.

Cantonese advantage on English stress perception: Constraints and neural underpinnings

William Choi

Summary: The study found that Cantonese listeners outperformed English listeners on English stress perception, but this advantage disappeared when segmental variations were introduced. Neurophysiologically, segmental variations diminished the P3b amplitudes of Cantonese but not English listeners.
