Perception of syllable-initial and syllable-final nasals in English by Korean and Japanese speakers
In both Korean and E nglish, /m/ and /n/ contrast syllable-initially and /m/, /n/ and /N/ contrast syllable-finally. In Japanese, /m/ and /n/ contrast syllableinitially while nasals do not contrast syllable-finally. E xperiment 1 of this study investigated Korean and Japanese speakers’ perception of English nasals to examine how learners’ L1 influences the perception of L2 segments. The Japanes...
متن کاملPerception of the voiced-voiceless contrast in syllable-final stops.
A computer editing technique was used to remove varying amounts of voicing from the syllable-final closure intervals of naturally produced tokens of /p epsilon b, p epsilon d, p epsilon g, pag, pig, pug/. Vowels for all six syllables were approximately the same duration, and the final release bursts were retained. Identification results showed that voiceless responses tended to occur in relativ...
متن کاملDependence of tone perception on syllable perception
We tested the hypothesis that, given the consistency of tonesyllable alignment found in recent research, accuracy of tone perception is dependent on the accuracy of syllable perception. In two experiments, subjects either judged the number of syllables or identified the tones in nonsense sentences that were spectrally intact, low-pass filtered at 300 Hz or converted to sustained schwa carrying ...
متن کاملWeight-by-Position Adjunction and Syllable Structure
Most cross-linguistic variation in weight criteria is attributed to the parameterized application of Weight-by-Position adjunction to codas on a language-specific basis (Hayes 1989). This paper explores the hypothesis that coda weight is ultimately predictable from syllable structure. An extensive survey of quantity-sensitive stress systems shows that languages that allow a proportionately larg...
متن کاملOscillatory phase shapes syllable perception.
The role of oscillatory phase for perceptual and cognitive processes is being increasingly acknowledged. To date, little is known about the direct role of phase in categorical perception. Here we show in two separate experiments that the identification of ambiguous syllables that can either be perceived as /da/ or /ga/ is biased by the underlying oscillatory phase as measured with EEG and senso...
