Perceptual distribution of merging phonemes
This study seeks to map the perceptual vowel space of front vowel phonemes undergoing merger before voiced velars in Pacific Northwest English (PNWE). In production, most speakers spectrally merge /Eg, eg/ at a point between their non-prevelar counterparts /E, e/, but the height of /æg/ is more variable. With variable production in the speech community, a question of perception arises: do North...
متن کاملPerceptual entropy rate estimates for the phonemes of American English
We estimated the perceptual entropy rate of the phonemes of American English and found that the upper limit of the perceptual entropy of voiced phonemes is approximately 1.4 bit/sample, whereas the perceptual entropy of unvoiced phonemes is approximately 0.9 bit/sample. Results indicate that a simple voiced/unvoiced classi cation is suboptimal when trying to minimize bit rate. We used two di er...
متن کاملPerceptual and Acoustic Properties of Phonemes in Continuous Speech for Different Speaking Rate
Investigations have been made on the perceptual and acoustic properties of individual phonemes in continuous speech for different speaking rate. Fifteen short sentences spoken by four male speakers have been used as the test material. Each speaker has been asked to pronounce the sentences with three different rates: normal, first and slow. For perceptual experiment, individual CV-syllables have...
متن کاملHigh Dynamic Range Imaging By Perceptual Logarithmic Exposure Merging
In this paper we emphasize a similarity between the Logarithmic-Type Image Processing (LTIP) model and the Naka-Rushton model of the Human Visual System (HVS). LTIP is a derivation of the Logarithmic Image Processing (LIP), which further replaces the logarithmic function with a ratio of polynomial functions. Based on this similarity, we show that it is possible to present an unifying framework ...
متن کاملA perceptual interference account of acquisition difficulties for non-native phonemes.
This article presents an account of how early language experience can impede the acquisition of non-native phonemes during adulthood. The hypothesis is that early language experience alters relatively low-level perceptual processing, and that these changes interfere with the formation and adaptability of higher-level linguistic representations. Supporting data are presented from an experiment t...
