Durational cues to fricative codas in 2-year-olds' American English: voicing and morphemic factors.
In the process of phonological development, fricatives are generally assumed to be later acquired than stops. However, most of the observational work on which this claim is based has concerned itself with word-initial onset consonants; little is known about how and when fricatives are mastered in word-final coda position (e.g., nose). This is all the more critical in a language like English, wh...
متن کاملManner asymmetries in the perception of laryngeal contrast: A noise-masking experiment in Russian
The issue of the effect of consonant manner on the perceptibility of laryngeal contrast was addressed. Previous studies of perceptual confusion suggest that, in noise, the laryngeal contrast in fricatives is more difficult to perceive than stops for listeners in English, which is typologically classified as an “aspirating” language. The present study examined whether a similar pattern is observ...
متن کاملIs 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,...
متن کاملAcoustics and perception of emphasis in Urban Jordanian Arabic
Acoustic and perceptual effects of emphasis, a secondary articulation in the posterior vocal tract, were investigated in Urban Jordanian Arabic. Twelve speakers of Jordanian Arabic recorded both consonants and vowels of monosyllabic minimal CVC pairs containing plain or emphatic consonants in initial and final position to investigate the extent of coarticulatory effects of emphasis. In general,...
متن کاملWritten word recognition by the elementary and advanced level Persian-English bilinguals
According to a basic prediction made by the Revised Hierarchical Model (RHM), at early stages of language acquisition, strong L2-L1 lexical links are formed. RHM predicts that these links weaken with increasing proficiency, although they do not disappear even at higher levels of language development. To test this prediction, two groups of highly proficie...
