The Role of Rhythmic Chunking in Speech: Synthesis of Findings and Evidence from Statistical Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our presentation summarizes evidence showing that listeners chunk speech in terms of rhythm groups.

A brief experiment is presented that further supports the view that statistical learning effects operate by reference to rhythmic chunks.
