| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify a segmentation strategy of fluent speech in Japanese, this study investigated cross-dialectally how prosodic aspects of Japanese were involved in segmenting speech. Test words were pairs sharing same phone strings, whereas their morpheme boundaries differed (cf.SIN-SYAKAI 'new society' and SINSYA-KAI 'exhibition of new automobiles'). Results showed that the boundary lengthening was found in speakers of Japanese dialect lacking of discriminability of accent contrasts. The strategy of segmentation of speech was discussed by comparing among Japanese dialects.
