Word stress representations are language‐specific: Evidence from event‐related brain potentials

Understanding speech at the basic levels entails the simultaneous and independent processing of phonemic and prosodic features. While it is well‐established that phoneme perception relies on language‐specific long‐term traces, it is unclear if the processing of prosodic features similarly involves language‐specific representations. In the present study, we investigated the processing of a specific prosodic feature, word stress, using the method...
