Which epenthetic vowel? Phonetic categories versus acoustic detail in perceptual vowel epenthesis.
This study aims to quantify the relative contributions of phonetic categories and acoustic detail on phonotactically induced perceptual vowel epenthesis in Japanese listeners. A vowel identification task tested whether a vowel was perceived within illegal consonant clusters and, if so, which vowel was heard. Cross-spliced stimuli were used in which vowel coarticulation present in the cluster di...
متن کاملVowel epenthesis in loanword adaptation: Representational and phonetic considerations
The phenomenon of loanword incorporation has long proved an intriguing object of study. Recent developments at the phonetics/phonology interface have generated renewed interest in the mechanisms of loanword adaptation, raising questions about the possible representational versus phonetic underpinnings of this process. This paper examines aspects of English and Afrikaans loanword incorporation i...
متن کاملLexically-driven perceptual adjustments of vowel categories
We investigated the plasticity of vowel categories in a perceptual learning paradigm in which listeners are encouraged to use lexical knowledge to adjust their interpretation of ambiguous speech sounds. We tested whether this kind of learning occurs for vowels, and whether it generalises to the perception of other vowels. In Experiments 1 and 2, Dutch listeners were exposed during a lexical dec...
متن کاملVowel epenthesis in Japanese speakers' L2 English
This study investigated how vowel epenthesis, a typical suprasegmental error produced by Japanese learners of English, is realized in their speech production of L2 English. We investigated two aspects: (i) whether loanword epenthesis phonology in Japanese transfers to English speech production, and (ii) how learners’ English proficiency level affects vowel epenthesis. In Japanese loanword phono...
متن کاملPredicting Epenthetic Vowel Quality from Acoustics
Past research has shown that sound sequences not permitted in our native language may be distorted by our perceptual system. A well-documented example is vowel epenthesis, a phenomenon by which listeners hallucinate non-existent vowels within illegal consonantal sequences. As reported in previous work, this occurs for instance in Japanese (JP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP), languages for which ...
