The recognition of reduced word forms.
This article addresses the recognition of reduced word forms, which are frequent in casual speech. We describe two experiments on Dutch showing that listeners only recognize highly reduced forms well when these forms are presented in their full context and that the probability that a listener recognizes a word form in limited context is strongly correlated with the degree of reduction of the fo...
متن کاملProcessing reduced word-forms in speech perception using probabilistic knowledge about speech production.
Two experiments examined how Dutch listeners deal with the effects of connected-speech processes, specifically those arising from word-final /t/ reduction (e.g., whether Dutch [tas] is tas, bag, or a reduced-/t/ version of tast, touch). Eye movements of Dutch participants were tracked as they looked at arrays containing 4 printed words, each associated with a geometrical shape. Minimal pairs (e...
متن کاملCo-occurrence of reduced word forms in natural speech
This paper presents a corpus study that investigates the co-occurrence of reduced word forms in natural speech. We extracted Dutch past participles from three different speech registers and investigated the influence of several predictor variables on the presence and duration of schwas in prefixes and /t/s in suffixes. Our results suggest that reduced word forms tend to co-occur even if we part...
متن کاملSuffix ordering and morphological processing
There is a long-standing debate about the principles constraining the combinatorial properties of affixes. Hay (2002) and Hay and Plag (2004) proposed a model in which suffixes can be ordered along a hierarchy of processing complexity. We show that their model generalizes to a larger set of suffixes, and we provide independent evidence supporting their claim that a higher rank in the ordering c...
متن کاملRecognizing reduced forms: Different processing mechanisms for similar reductions
Recognizing phonetically reduced forms is a huge challenge for spoken-word recognition. Phonetic reductions not only occur often, but also come in a variety of forms. The paper investigates how two similar forms of reductions – /t/-reduction and nasal place assimilation in Dutch – can eventually be recognized, focusing on the role of following phonological context. Previous research indicated t...
