Why reduce? Phonological neighborhood density and phonetic reduction in spontaneous speech
Frequent or contextually predictable words are often phonetically reduced, i.e. shortened and produced with articulatory undershoot. Explanations for phonetic reduction of predictable forms tend to take one of two approaches: Intelligibility-based accounts hold that talkers maximize intelligibility of words that might otherwise be difficult to recognize; production-based accounts hold that vari...
متن کاملPhonetic and Phonological Annotation of Speech Prosody
1.1 Prosodic form and prosodic function Like all aspects of language, speech prosody can be described both from the point of view of its form and of its function. One particular characteristic of speech prosody, which is rather different to other aspects of language, is the fact that both the functions and the forms of prosody are nearly universal. From the point of view of prosodic forms, all ...
متن کاملTemporal Organization of Phonological and Phonetic Encoding: Evidence from Experiments and Spontaneous Speech
The interaction between pauses and the retrieval of the desired lexemes in the process of word production involves controversies that are worth investigating. The hypothesis of the present research was that certain pauses might refer to specific operations in the mental lexicon predicting the phonetic output. The temporal analysis of word retrieval was carried out in a ‘tip-of-the-tongue’ elici...
متن کاملPhonological neighborhood effects in aphasic speech errors: spontaneous and structured contexts.
The current study investigates the influence of phonological neighborhoods on the accuracy of speech production in aphasia by examining errors produced in both spontaneous and structured speech tasks. Characteristics of the phonological neighborhoods of spontaneously produced aphasic errors are compared to the neighborhood characteristics of correctly produced targets in a picture description t...
متن کاملMethods for Integrating Phonetic and Phonological Knowledge in Speech Inversion
Exploiting the information about the vocal tract shape that produced the speech has been appealing to speech researchers and scientists for a long period of time. Experimental studies that included the articulatory information from physiological measurements supported the idea that this information could be useful in a number of areas of speech science and technology. However, the estimation of...
