“…momentary degree of overall support for this word as a lexical candidate (Allopenna et al, 1998). The visual world paradigm with pictures or with printed words can capture the time course of phonological (segmental) competition among lexical candidates (e.g., Huettig & McQueen, 2007;McQueen & Viebahn, 2007;Poellmann, Mitterer, & McQueen, 2014;Reinisch, Jesse, & McQueen, 2011a;Salverda & Tanenhaus, 2010) and is sensitive to how prosodic information alters online spoken-word recognition in various languages (e.g., Ito & Speer, 2008;Reinisch et al, 2010;Salverda et al, 2003Salverda et al, , 2007. Most relevant to the present study, in a visual world paradigm with printed words, Dutch listeners used suprasegmental information associated with the primary-stressed syllable of accentuated words to speed up spoken-word recognition and to resolve lexical competition before the target words became segmentally unique (Reinisch et al, 2010).…”
