Perception 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 کاملOn Perceiving Certain Voiceless Unaspirated Stops
A common type of stop is voiceless and unaspirated, sometimes contrasting with a voiced one. In English this is true in certain contexts, but utterance-initially the two types vary freely, both heard as voiced by phonetically naïve native speakers, though linguists sometimes describe the first as "devoiced" and/or the second as “prevoiced.” Moreover, wherever a voiceless inaspirate context is e...
متن کاملA possible neural basis for the categorical perception of the English voiced/voiceless contrast
"\Ye describe the representation of synthetic stopconsonants in a computational model of the mammalian dorsal cochlear nucleus. The speech stimuli have different values of voice-onset time (VOT) and are Iabelied by adult listeners as either /ga/ or /ka/, with a phonetic boundary at 44 ms VOT. The responses of the model's Type IV units to these stimuli also fall into two clear categories with a ...
متن کاملThe acquisition of voiceless stops in the interlanguage of second language learners of English and Spanish
Elicitation Materials. Subjects were given the same set of disyllabic real words in both English and Spanish in carrier phrases, which made the tokens closer to natural speech. This maintained control and comparability of the segments in the same environment, since vowel height and syllabic stress are known to affect aspiration (Keating, 1983). The English carrier phrase was "Say the word ___ag...
