  abstract = {This research examines the issue of speech segmentation in 9-month-old
	infants. Two cues known to carry probabilistic information about
	word boundaries were investigated: Phonotactic regularity and prosodic
	pattern. The stimuli used in four head turn preference experiments
	were bisyllabic CVC.CVC nonwords bearing primary stress in either
	the first or the second syllable (strong/weak vs. weak/strong). Stimuli
	also differed with respect to the phonotactic nature of their cross-syllabic
	C.C cluster. Clusters had either a low probability of occurring at
	a word juncture in fluent speech and a high probability of occurring
	inside of words ("within-word" clusters) or a high probability of
	occurring at a word juncture and a low probability of occurring inside
	of words ("between-word" clusters). Our results show that (1) 9-month-olds
	are sensitive to how phonotactic sequences typically align with word
	boundaries, (2) altering the stress pattern of the stimuli reverses
	infants' preference for phonotactic cluster types, (3) the prosodic
	cue to segmentation is more strongly relied upon than the phonotactic
	cue, and (4) a preference for high-probability between-word phonotactic
	sequences can be obtained either by placing stress on the second
	syllable of the stimuli or by inserting a pause between syllables.
	The implications of these results are discussed in light of an integrated
	multiple-cue approach to speech segmentation in infancy.},
