Assessment of non-native phones in anglicisms by German listeners
By means of a pair comparison test, preferences of German native speakers for English or German sounds in spoken anglicisms were investigated. The collected data can be used as a reference point, which of the English xenophones have to be integrated into a German TTS system to allow for an appropriate pronunciation of anglicisms in German.
متن کاملPerception of Pitch Contours among Native Tone Listeners
Level, rising and falling pitch contours were presented to ten native speakers of Thai and fifteen native speakers of Mandarin Chinese for pair-wised discrimination in a same-different categorial discrimination task. Their performance was comparable across all contrasts. Both groups were more successful at discriminating the rising from the falling and the level contours, but failed to discrimi...
متن کاملThe clear speech effect for non-native listeners.
Previous work has established that naturally produced clear speech is more intelligible than conversational speech for adult hearing-impaired listeners and normal-hearing listeners under degraded listening conditions. The major goal of the present study was to investigate the extent to which naturally produced clear speech is an effective intelligibility enhancement strategy for non-native list...
متن کاملIdentification of acoustically modified Mandarin tones by native listeners
This study investigated identification of fragmented Mandarin tones by non-native listeners. Monosyllabic Mandarin words were digitally processed to generate intact, silent-center, center-only, and onset-only syllables. The syllables were recorded with two carrier phrases such that the offset of the carrier tone and the onset of the target tone were either continuous or discontinuous in fundame...
متن کاملThe intelligibility of Lombard speech for non-native listeners.
Speech produced in the presence of noise--Lombard speech--is more intelligible in noise than speech produced in quiet, but the origin of this advantage is poorly understood. Some of the benefit appears to arise from auditory factors such as energetic masking release, but a role for linguistic enhancements similar to those exhibited in clear speech is possible. The current study examined the eff...
