Running Head: Phonological Inference in Korean PHONOLOGICAL INFERENCE IN WORD RECOGNITION: EVIDENCE FROM KOREAN OBSTRUENT NASALIZATION
Gaskell and Marslen-Wilson (1996) use data from cross-modal priming to show that word recognition involves phonological inference: listeners more readily recognize a word that is changed from its canonical form if that change is conditioned by a phonological process. Subsequent research has questioned whether word recognition does in fact involve phonological inference, based on evidence that p...
متن کاملA Connectionist Model.. 1 A Connectionist Model of Phonological Representation in Speech Perception
A number of recent studies have examined the effects of phonological variation on the perception of speech. These studies show that both the lexical representations of words and the mechanisms of lexical access are organized so that natural, systematic variation is tolerated by the perceptual system, while a general intolerance of random deviation is maintained. Lexical abstraction distinguishe...
متن کاملPhonological knowledge in compensation for native and non-native assimilation
We investigated whether compensation for phonological assimilation in the first language depends on language specific knowledge of phonological processes. To this end, we tested two different assimilation rules, one that exists in English and involves place of articulation, and another that exists in French and involves voicing. Both contrasts were tested on speakers of French and American Engl...
متن کاملAssimilation, ambiguity, and the feature parsing problem
Productive phonological processes including English coronal place assimilation appear to neutralize some lexical contrasts, and thus pose problems for spoken word recognition. The current work explores two questions: (1) can strong spontaneous assimilation create lexical ambiguity, and (2) how do listeners resolve potential lexical ambiguity. Two form priming experiments explored lexical activa...
متن کاملToddlers' processing of phonological alternations: early compensation for assimilation in English and French.
Using a picture pointing task, this study examines toddlers' processing of phonological alternations that trigger sound changes in connected speech. Three experiments investigate whether 2;5- to 3-year-old children take into account assimilations--processes by which phonological features of one sound spread to adjacent sounds--for the purpose of word recognition (e.g., in English, ten pounds ca...
