Acoustic correlates of Dutch lexical stress re-examined: Spectral tilt is not always more reliable than intensity
The present study examined two acoustic cues in the production of lexical stress in Dutch: spectral tilt and overall intensity. …

Evidence for selective adaptation and recalibration in the perception of lexical stress
Individuals vary in how they produce speech. This variability affects both the segments (vowels and consonants) and the suprasegmental …
