Normalization for speech rate in native and non-native speech
Speech perception involves a number of processes that deal with variation in the speech signal. One such process is normalization for speechrate: local temporal cues are perceived relative to the rate in the surrounding context. It is as yet unclear whether and how this perceptual effect interacts with higher level impressions of rate, such as a speaker’s nonnative identity. Nonnative speakers ...
متن کاملNon-native speech rhyth
This study investigates non-native speech rhythm in German. Three native speakers and 18 learners of German with three different native languages were recorded reading and re-telling a story. Vowel reduction and deletion was analyzed in one particular type of German suffix. Speech rhythm was investigated with the syllable ratio, a new measurement which determines the mean ratio of durational re...
متن کاملSpeech Recognition of Non-native Speech Using Native and Non-native Acoustic Models
A speech recognition system is subjected to the speech of non-native speakers, using both native and non-native acoustic phone models. The problems involved with the mapping of phoneset from the nonnative to native language are investigated, and a detailed analysis of phone confusions is made. For Dutch speakers, British English acoustic models give the best word recognition results.
متن کاملNative and Non-native Speech Perception
INTRODUCTION A central goal of research on speech perception has been to uncover the auditory dimensions that listeners use to derive linguistically meaningful utterances from the speech signal. In order for listeners to successfully decode an utterance, they must be able to reliably distinguish the speech sounds of a particular language. The speech signal presents listeners with a multitude of...
متن کاملTone in Connected Discourse
Connected discourse has a number of substantial impacts on tone. First, the ideal form of tone is routinely compromised due to articulatory sluggishness. Second, the underlying tonal target itself is sometimes changed. Third, the surface tonal form is further distorted by other linguistic functions that also change pitch either deliberately or inadvertently. This article discusses how the surfa...
