Abstract
Ordinary sentences, semantically anomalous sentences, and scrambled word strings were heard behind masking noise in a speech-perception experiment. Time interval between words was .5, 1, or 2 sec. Results were: (a) ordinary sentences were increasingly difficult to hear with increasing intervals between words; (b) anomalous-sentence scores were higher than scrambled-string scores but did not decrease with time interval; and (c) beginning words were heard better than end words in ordinary sentences and scrambled strings but not in anomalous sentences.
