Q2Stress is a database for Italian containing information about multiple cues readers may use in assigning stress. Specifically, the database offers type and token frequency measures of stress patterns as a function of number of syllables, grammatical category, word beginnings, word endings, and consonant-vowel structures. Data for both adults (derived from PhonItalia: Goslin, Galluzzi, & Romani, 2014) and children (derived from Lessico Elementare: Marconi, Ott, Pesenti, Ratti, & Tavella, 1993) are available. Q2Stress may help researchers to answer empirical and theoretical questions about stress assignment and the orthography-to-phonology relation in reading. Q2Stress is designed as a user-friendly resource, as it comes with scripts allowing researchers to explore and select their own stimuli according to several criteria as well as summary tables for overall data analysis.
