Waveforms and spectrograms of acoustic data collected by Pape and Jesus [40] for a German (left) and a Portuguese (right) female speaker: speech signals corresponding to [ibi] (top), [idi] (middle) and [iɡi] (bottom) sequences from the previously recorded [40] CVCV (consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel) items in the context of a frame sentence. The consonant and vowel were pairwise identical (e.g., <bibi>, <didi> and <gigi>), sentence stress was on the CVCV pseudoword, and lexical stress was set to the first syllable of the CVCV pseudoword
