• This paper deals with the recognition of English bisyllable words by Japanese listeners at the low intermediate level of English. Our hypothesis is that English bisyllable words beginning with a strong stress are much easier to recognize than those beginning with a weak stress for these Japanese listeners of English. This assumption is based upon an analysis of statistical studies of English vocabulary and experiments performed by the authors of this paper and other researchers. Our experiment supported the hypotheses. In addition, it was discovered in the experiment that a relative frequency of occurrence of the words affected identification of the words beginning with a weak syllable. These observed variations may have been the result of a recognition processing need to obtain alternative cues of information in situations that lacked a suitable amount of information cues necessary for word identification. English bisyllable words beginning with a strong stress may require less information for identification, whereas English bisyllable words beginning with a weak stress may require alternative cues of information for identification, i.e. word frequency.
