Coarticulation in fricative-vowel syllables produced by children and adults: a preliminary report.
`Coarticulation’ refers to the fact that speech is produced in a highly contextdependent fashion, while at some level, invariant (phonemic) information can be extracted by listeners. Coarticulation has both language-universal and languageparticular components. The universal properties stem from the fact that all humans have similar constraints on vocal tract anatomy and neuromotor processing, i...
متن کاملEasy does it: The role of fluency in cue weighting
We propose that people weight fluent, or easy to process, information more heavily than disfluent information when making judgments. Cue fluency was manipulated independent of objective cue validity in three studies, the findings from which support our hypothesis. In Experiment 1, participants weighted a consumer review more heavily when it was written in a clear font than in a less clear font....
متن کاملFormant Correlates in Greek Fricative-Vowel Sequences
The present study examined F1 and F2 onset, as well as locus equations in Greek fricative – vowel sequences as distinctive cues for the fricative place of articulation. The effects of voicing, speaker’s gender and post-fricative vowel on both formants’ onset values and locus equations were also investigated. The results showed that F2 onset values distinguished fricatives in terms of place of a...
متن کاملPerception of concurrent approximant-vowel syllables
Some experiments are described which explore the perception of the glides /w/ and /j/ spoken simultaneously. These cannot be spoken in isolation, like vowel sounds, but must be combined with vowels to form syllables. In previous experiments /w/ and /j/ were combined with the vowels /i/ and /a/ to form the four syllables /wi/, /wa, /ji/ and /ja/. It was found that if both the vowels and their pi...
متن کاملThe emergence of phonetic segments: evidence from the spectral structure of fricative-vowel syllables spoken by children and adults.
A variety of evidence, including the speech errors of normal and aphasic speakers, and the metalinguistic skills of literate individuals, demonstrates that speech has an underlying phonemic organization. However, we know little about how this organization develops in the child. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that phoneme-sized phonetic segments emerge as functional ...
