Experience with a second language affects the use of fundamental frequency in speech segmentation.

The model results summarized in Table 4 indicate that monolingual French listeners’ performance on non-word foils was higher than 0 (intercept); monolingual French listeners’ performance showed a trend towards being lower on part-word foils than on non-word foils (marginal simple effect of foil type); monolingual English listeners’ performance on non-word foils was lower than monolingual French listeners’ performance on the same foils (simple effect of L1); and bilingual French listeners’ performance on non-word foils was lower than monolingual French listeners’ performance on the same foils (simple effect of bilingual status).
