Integration of phonological information in obstruent consonant identification.

Obstruent Consonant Landmark Detection in Thai Continuous Speech

The presence of obstruent consonants constitutes key landmark events with cues that indicate abrupt acoustic discontinuities in the speech signal. Such discontinuities allow further analysis and recognition to be performed in knowledge-based speech recognition systems. This paper describes an acoustical investigation on Thai obstruent consonant detection using average level crossing rate (ALCR)...

Running Head: Phonological Inference in Korean PHONOLOGICAL INFERENCE IN WORD RECOGNITION: EVIDENCE FROM KOREAN OBSTRUENT NASALIZATION

Gaskell and Marslen-Wilson (1996) use data from cross-modal priming to show that word recognition involves phonological inference: listeners more readily recognize a word that is changed from its canonical form if that change is conditioned by a phonological process. Subsequent research has questioned whether word recognition does in fact involve phonological inference, based on evidence that p...

Detection of obstruent consonant landmark for knowledge based speech recgonition system

Phonological alexia with vowel-consonant dissociation in non-word reading.

We present a patient with alexia secondary to cerebral lesion whose errors in the reading of non-words affect vowels more than consonants. The interest of the case resides in: (1) the documentation of a vowel-consonant dissociation selectively affecting the reading of non-words; and (2) the localization of the alteration in a specific stage of the perilexical reading pathway, that is, the blend...

Phonological code retrieval during picture naming: Influence of consonant class.

Investigations of the time course of various stages of lexical processing have indicated either early or late onset of brain activation for phonological code retrieval. The basis of the differential findings is unclear, but factors related to segmental phonology appear to be part of it. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether phonological encoding is influenced by consonant ty...
