abstract = "![CDATA[Research demonstrates that words in polysynthetic languages may be complex at the prosodic level. Little psycholinguistic research, however, has investigated the extent to which speakers of these languages are aware of word-internal structure, and whether morphological relations of different types affect the location of prosodic boundaries. We present an experiment testing the acceptability of words with embedded pauses, with speakers of the Australian language Wubuy. The results show that pauses are more acceptable at some word-internal morpheme boundaries than others. These boundaries are not consistently correlated with prosodic constituents, but are predictable on the basis of semantics and morphological productivity.]]",
