    Abstract

    Psycholinguistic investigations provide invaluable empirical utility in theorizing and typologizing phonological phenomena. Instrumental approaches to the sound structure of Turkish have proven to be no exception here, contributing independent and multi-faceted evidence towards theory building and testing. Two areas of Turkish phonology in relation to suprasegmental structure and prominence patterns, namely word-level prosody (Section 2) and prominence and rhythmic phenomena at the level of the sentence and beyond (Section 3) have particularly fueled psycholinguistically motivated empirical studies. This chapter will approach representational and processing-related issues in each of these and provide a review of pertinent perception and production studies, touching upon phonetic and developmental investigations insofar as they have implications for mental representations or processing.
