Abstract
⺠Do listeners use prosody to find hierarchical structure in artificial speech? ⺠We pitted cues in the prosodic hierarchy against transitional probabilities. ⺠Italian-speakers segmented the streams hierarchically. ⺠Prosody is a stronger cue to hierarchical structure than transitional-probabilities. ⺠Prosody can be used to find hierarchical structure in speech.
