	Monosyllabic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A monosyllabic language is a language in which words are predominantly monosyllabic.
		In a monosyllabic language, it is rarely the case that all words are monosyllabic; it is normally just the case that most words are.
		Monosyllabic languages are often tonal languages; due to the use of tones, the number of available monosyllables is significantly more than in non-tonal languages, making shorter words more practical.

	Phonological priming in auditory word recognition: Initial overlap facilitation effect varies as a function of target ...
		Using monosyllabic words and the shadowing latencies as a measure, Slowiaczek and Hamburger (1992) observed that an initial overlap between primes and targets led to facilitation when the primes had one or two phonemes in common with the targets.
		When the prime is monosyllabic (cou /ku/), the target word (coulisse /kulis/) receives activation from the prime and remains activated because there are no mismatching phonemes between the prime and the lexical representation of the target.
		In the case of "monosyllabic" primes, the relation between the primes and the targets is particularly salient in that the primes (cou /ku/) always form the first syllable of the subsequent related target words (coulisse /kulis/).

	East Asian Languages and Chinese Characters
		Chinese itself, with its alleged "monosyllabic" structure, is regarded as uniquely suited to a form of representation whose units are one syllable long.
		Thus the allegation that Chinese is monosyllabic is based not on the language as it is spoken (and, presumably, internalized by its speakers), but rather on the way the language was and is conventionally written.
		Sinitic words are not monosyllabic, but the fact that most of their morphemes are has had an important impact on the formation of vocabulary.

		In linguistics, stress is the emphasis given to some syllables (often no more than one in each word, but in many languages, long words have a secondary stress a few syllables away from the primary stress, as in the words cóunterfòil or còunterintélligence.
		A word that consists of a single syllable (like English cat) is called a monosyllable (adjectival form monosyllabic), while a word consisting of two syllables (like monkey) is called a disyllable (adjectival form disyllabic).
		In phonetics, a triphthong is a monosyllabic vowel combination usually involving a quick, but smooth movement from one vowel to another that passes over a third one.

		The stimuli were band-limited monosyllabic word lists presented in quiet and noise having a spectrum matched to the speech peak spectrum of the talker.
		Sharply filtered bands of speech (monosyllabic words) were presented alone or in pairs in noise matched to the speech peak spectrum of the talker at 19 signal-to-noise ratios (-25 to 41 dB).
		Comparisons between these results and published findings for monosyllabic words and continuous discourse reconfirm that speech intelligibility prediction formulas vary as a function of the test materials used to determine them.

		In fact, monosyllabic languages on earth now are spoken only by a very few tribal minorities in Asia and Africa, excluding Vietnamese.
		Unfortunately, Vietnamese is still considered by many people as one of those monosyllabic languages which are still existing on earth (spoken at least by 75 millions or more people).
		Monosyllabic languages which are still in use are those of tribal or less civilized people whose brains have not evolved or developed sophisticatedly enough to memorize or coordinate different syllables simultaneously in their native tongues.

	Word Stress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Monosyllabic nouns, adjectives, interjections, main verbs and adverbs are always stressed.
		Monosyllabic pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, articles ("the," "a," "an"), auxiliary verbs, copulative verbs, verbal negation ("not"), and the infinitive marker ("to"), are unstressed.
		Syllable three of this line, "loose," is stressed because it is a monosyllabic adjective but it does not violate condition 2 because it is followed in position four by a stressed, monosyllabic noun ("gown");

	SILEWP 1996-003
		The paper gives most attention to Ndyuka, where epenthesis occurs after monosyllabic verbs ending in a high tone and followed by direct objects or copula complements beginning with a vowel-initial monosyllabic morpheme.
		Monosyllabic verbs ending on a nasal vowel develop an epenthetic /m/ before an object starting with a monosyllabic vowel-initial element (1985:93).
		From these examples it can be seen that, in cases where the two languages have cognates, a CVV' sequence in Ndyuka monosyllabic stems corresponds to a CLV sequence in Sranan, while a C V'V one corresponds to a CVLV sequence in Sranan.

		Maya is mostly monosyllabic, but it has this tendency to run the words of a sentence into a single word.
		Some languages of the Malayo-Polynesian family have also become mostly monosyllabic through phonological decay (thus when ikan "fish" become just e -- yes [E] -- in Lehali, or na-kandi becomes nar in Sakao (but Sakao also has a tendency to run the words of a sentence into a single word, like Maya).

		If it is very similar to the first word in some way, write it on the same line as your first word.
		Continue to do this for about 2 hours with as many monosyllabic words in the dictionary as you can.
		All the words on a single line, or in a single class, should have some single fairly narrow element of meaning in common and should begin with the consonant you have chosen.

	Katherine Crosswhite: Papers
		The basic pattern to be accounted for is this: although certain considerations can cause Macedonian stress to fall closer to the right edge of the word than the antepenult, those same considerations are unable to make stress fall closer to the left edge than the antepenult.
		However, if the rightmost word in the stress domain in monosyllabic, stress is penultimate rather than antepenultimate.
		The central idea is that in non-dissimilative dialects the stress-foot is obligatorily disyllabic, while in 'dissimilative' dialects the stress-foot is predictably either disyllabic or monosyllabic.

		All of the data presented in these files is in my phonesthemic dictionary: Suitbert Ertel has done a large number of similar tables for a great many languages.
		If you do not count the 'y' and 'w' sound in long vowels, then 54% of consonants in the English monosyllabic 'bumpy' words are labials as opposed to 34% in the general monosyllabic vocabulary.

	The prosodic/lexical interface: Effects of prosodic domain on recognition of onset-embedded words (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In strong positions, vowels are lengthened, especially for monosyllabic words, and co-articulation is strongly reduced compared to weak positions.
		For cohort pairs such as beaker and beetle, these changes would be expected to delay the point of disambiguation, resulting in longer lasting lexical competition.
		Vowel differences between monosyllabic and disyllabic words averaged 30 ms in medial position and 90 ms in final position, with most of the effect due to large increases in vowel duration for monosyllabic words in utterance-final position.

		Two experiments were conducted to examine the influence of lexical difficulty and stimulus variability on speech perception by children who use either a chchlear implant or a hearing aid.
		The effects of lexical factors were examined by comparing the recognition of lexically "easy" and "hard" words, as defined by the Neighborhood Activation Model using a monosyllabic word test and a multisyllabic word test.
		The recognition of "easy" and "hard" monosyllabic words was compared to word recognition on a traditional clinical monosyllabic test, the PB-K. Stimulus variability was examined by comparing word recognition in single-talker and multiple-talker conditions.
