Which Acoustic and Phonological Factors Shape Infants' Vowel Discrimination? Exploiting Natural Variation in InPhonDB
A key research question in early language acquisition concerns the development of infants’ ability to discriminate sounds, and the factors structuring discrimination abilities. Vowel discrimination, in particular, has been studied using a range of tasks, experimental paradigms, and stimuli over the past 40 years, work recently compiled in a meta-analysis. We use this meta-analysis to assess whe...
متن کاملAcoustic metrics of vowel articulation in Parkinson's disease: vowel space area (VSA) vs. vowel articulation index (VAI)
acoustic analysis of speech is a powerful, noninvasive, and cost effective tool to study different aspects of motor speech disorders such as the dysarthria associated with pd. in this presentation we will discuss the rationale for using acoustic analysis, its advantages and disadvantages, and methods to overcome these disadvantages. as an example, we will address the use of vowel space area (vs...
متن کاملThe role of vowel duration cue in L1: Effects on L2 learners' identification of phonological vowel length in Japanese
This study investigated the effects of learners’ L1 on their identification of Japanese phonological vowel length at three speaking rates. Native listeners of Japanese (NJ) and learners of Japanese with L1 backgrounds in Finnish (NFin), American English (NE), Russian (NR), and French (NFr) participated in the study. The results showed that the proportion of “long” responses increased as a funct...
متن کاملVowel spectra, vowel spaces, and vowel identification.
Twelve Dutch vowels, each pronounced by 50 male speakers, were analyzed in 18 filter bands comparable in bandwidth with the cat's critical band. By considering the sound levels (in decibels) in these filter bands as dimensions, with a principal-component analysis the 18 dimensions per sound were reduced to four factors which together explain 75% of the total variance. The configuration of the a...
متن کاملVowel-specific effects in concurrent vowel identification
An experiment investigated the effects of amplitude ratio ~235 to 35 dB in 10-dB steps! and fundamental frequency difference ~0%, 3%, 6%, and 12%! on the identification of pairs of concurrent synthetic vowels. Vowels as weak as 225 dB relative to their competitor were easier to identify in the presence of a fundamental frequency difference (DF0). Vowels as weak as 235 dB were not. Identificatio...
