Transitional probability and phoneme monitoring

چکیده

Two phoneme monitoring experiments examined the influence of Transitional Probability (TP) on phoneme recognition. Target phonemes appeared at the end of Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) syllables, or as the first element of coda clusters in CVCC syllables. Reliable TP effects were found only for targets in CVCC syllables. The TPs both into and out of the targets influenced listeners' ability to detect them in CVCCs. Furthermore, targets were more difficult to detect in CVCCs than in CVCs. TP may only influence segment recognition when that segment is more difficult to recognise, as when it occurs in a cluster.

Recognition of spoken words in the continuous speech: effects of transitional probability

Do Cantonese listeners really use phonotactics information in the segmentation process of Cantonese continuous speech? Because some phoneme transitions across Cantonese syllables occur much more often than the others, the transitional probability may cue the locations of possible syllable boundaries in Cantonese speech. Two syllable-spotting experiments were conducted. Results clearly indicated...

Improving Phoneme Sequence Recognition using Phoneme Duration Information in DNN-HSMM

Improving phoneme recognition has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its applications in various fields of speech processing. Recent research achievements show that using deep neural network (DNN) in speech recognition systems significantly improves the performance of these systems. There are two phases in DNN-based phoneme recognition systems including training and testing. Mos...

Running head: LEXICAL FEEDBACK Lexical effects on compensation for coarticulation: The ghost of Christmash past

The question of when and how bottom-up input is integrated with top-down knowledge has been debated extensively within cognition and perception, and particularly within language processing. A long running debate about the architecture of the spoken-word recognition system has centered on the locus of lexical effects on phonemic processing: does lexical knowledge influence phoneme perception thr...

Is Compensation for Coarticulation Mediated by the Lexicon?

Ambiguous stops between /t/ and /k/ tend to be heard as /k/ after /s/-final words and as /t/ after /ʃ/-final words. Elman and McClelland (1988, Journal of Memory and Language, 27, 143–165) obtained this compensation for coarticulation effect when the word-final fricatives were replaced with an ambiguous phoneme and argued that this indicated top-down lexical involvement in a prelexical process,...

The Effects of Oil Price Shocks on Transitional Dynamics of Business Cycles in Iran: Markov Switching Model with Time Varying Transition Probabilities (MS-TVTP)

The business cycles are one of the most important economic indicators that they show the changes in economic activities during time. The study of business cycles is important because the understanding fluctuations in GDP and effective factors on these fluctuations help policy makers to plan better and more efficient. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of oil price shoc...
