Is Vowel Normalization Independent of Lexical Processing?
Vowel normalization in speech perception was investigated in three experiments. The range of the second formant in a carrier phrase was manipulated and this affected the perception of a target vowel in a compensatory fashion: A low F2 range in the carrier phrase made it more likely that the target vowel was perceived as a front vowel, that is, with a high F2. Recent experiments indicated that t...
متن کاملNon-uniform vowel normalization
A study of female-male differences in F F2: and F3 of var ious vowels within eight different languages revea ls univer sa l tendencies of departure f rom a simple uniform scaling. These have been quantified and adopted a s a basis for a vowel-category-specific normalization procedure which, on the average, reduces the female-male variance to one-half of that remaining after a simple uniform sca...
متن کاملLexical Access, Lexical Representation, and Vowel Production
Previous research (Munson and Solomon 2004; Wright 2004) has shown that both phonological neighborhood density and word frequency influence the size of the acoustic F1/F2 vowel space. This study investigated whether these influences reflect the role of real-time lexical access processes on articulation. Specifically, it examined the influence of word frequency and phonological neighborhood dens...
متن کاملComparing Vowel Formant Normalization Methods
Results from a large-scale comparative study of vowel formant normalization methods are presented. Effectiveness of methods was evaluated by their ability to improve the equalization and alignment of speaker vowel spaces over raw Hertz measurements. Vowel-intrinsic methods performed poorly, while vowel-extrinsic, formant-intrinsic methods performed the best overall.
متن کاملSyntactic processing in left prefrontal cortex is independent of lexical meaning.
In language comprehension a syntactic representation is built up even when the input is semantically uninterpretable. We report data on brain activation during syntactic processing, from an experiment on the detection of grammatical errors in meaningless sentences. The experimental paradigm was such that the syntactic processing was distinguished from other cognitive and linguistic functions. T...
