We investigate whether adult learners’ knowledge of phonotactic restrictions on word forms from their first language (L1) impact their word segmentation abilities in a new language. Adult learners were exposed to a speech stream in which language specific and non-language specific cues for word segmentation were pitted against one another.

The distribution, abundance, and characteristics of neuston plastic in the North Pacific, Bering Sea, and Japan Sea were studied during the 4-year period 1985-88 at 203 neuston stations encompassing ca. 91,000 m2 of sampling. The highest total density of neuston plastic was 316,800 pieces/km2 at lat. 35"59'N, long. 152"OO'E in Transitional Water east of Japan. The highest total concentration of...
