G. “is” in one case, “can” in another case, etc). Hence, in addition to using information about the strong syllables to locate the onsets of words in fluent speech, Englishlearners also appear to use distributional cues to determine where the word is likely to end. 5-month-olds.

This finding is consistent with the view that infants are extracting, and thus becoming bored with, the trochaic targets, with the result that they prefer the novel stimulus; they apparently fail to extract the iambic target, so treat the extracted sequence as if it were new at test, and therefore are as interested in it as they are in the truly novel distracter. Though suggesting that trochaic disyllables are extracted more readily than iambic disyllables from the stream of speech, this finding should not be taken to 32 CATHARINE H.

To determine whether hypothesized cues actually contribute to word-level segmentation, we need to determine the answer to three questions:(1) Are the proposed cues available in the input? (2) Are infants aware of the proposed cues? (3) Do infants actually use the proposed cues in segmenting speech? Over the last few years, we have obtained an increasing amount of knowledge about all three of these questions. , Echols, Crowhurst & Childers 1997; Jusczyk, Cutler & Redanz 1993). , Echols et al. 1997; Newsome & Jusczyk 1995; Morgan 1996).
