Cross-linguistic aspects of intonation perception
This paper compares the perception strategies employed by the speakers of British English, Japanese and Russian in sentence type processing relying on prosodic clues. The paper reports the results of an experimental phonetic study investigating the effect of the manipulations of pitch and duration in a phonetically rising-falling contour on sentence type perception by the three groups of subjec...
متن کاملTowards robust cross-linguistic comparisons of phonological networks
Recent work has proposed using network science to analyse the structure of the mental lexicon by viewing words as nodes in a phonological network, with edges connecting words that differ by a single phoneme. Comparing the structure of phonological networks across different languages could provide insights into linguistic typology and the cognitive pressures that shape language acquisition, evol...
متن کاملProblems with click detection: Insights from cross-linguistic comparisons
Cross-linguistic comparisons may shed light on the levels of processing involved in the performance of psycholinguistic tasks. For instance, if the same pat tern of results appears whether or not subjects unders tand the experimental materials, it may be concluded that the results do not reflect higher-level linguistic processing. In the present study, English and French listeners performed two...
متن کاملPerception of the moraic obstruent /Q/: a cross-linguistic study
Japanese natives segment speech into morae. The current study tested whether this extends to perception of geminate consonants: do Japanese natives rely on the moraic obstruent /Q/, and if so, which acoustic feature is perceived to characterize /Q/? Based on an informal interview, we hypothesized that Japanese natives rely on /Q/ that is represented as a silent duration. If so, it should be mor...
متن کاملCross-linguistic differences in the perception of palatalization
This paper investigates the difference between basic psycho-acoustic auditory perception and language-specific perception of speech sounds. This was examined in two experiments with American English and Russian listeners. Results suggest that listeners' language does not influence auditory perception, but does affect the rated perceptual similarity of speech sounds.
