Influence of morphology on phoneme identification in spoken croatian

چکیده
The representation of morphological structures in the mental lexicon constitutes the inevitable topic in the investigation of cognitive aspects of the language data processing. In the present paper the influence of the noun case functions of the phoneme identification in Croatian language is investigated within the framework of the spoken word recognition. By means of the gating paradigm 36 subjects listened to and identified 24 words. The results showed strong influence of the morphological component, especially of the nominative case, on the word recognizability, regardless of the suffix phoneme (/a/ for feminine and /e/ for neuter gender). The results also showed the dynamics of the word identification process because it was possible to determine the decision-bias point position. Finally, the results could be interpreted in terms of the decompositional storage of morphological information of the regular complex Croatian nouns in the mental lexicon.

The prolonged influence of subsequent context on spoken word recognition.
Connine, Blasko, and Hall (Journal of Memory and Language 30:234-250, 1991) suggested that within a 1-second temporal window, subsequent biasing information can influence the identification of a previously spoken word. Four experiments further explored this hypothesis. Our participants heard sentences in which an ambiguous target word was followed less than or more than a second later by a word...

This study investigates how phonology, morphology, and prosody affect phoneme identification within sentences. The influence of these factors was examined in a phoneme monitoring task with Australian-English and SecondLanguage-English Mandarin-Chinese participants monitoring for /n/ in four morphological contexts (part of a word stem, correct/altered grammatical inflection, or derivational infl...

In this paper we described an e cient method to bootstrap continuously spoken, large vocabulary speech recognition systems by multilingual phoneme sets. To evaluate this techniques we collected the multilingual database GlobalPhone which currently consists of 9 di erent languages. A multilingual recognizer (MULTI) based on the four languages German, English, Japanese and Spanish was developed t...
متن کاملSpoken Language Identification using Frame Based Entropy Measures
This paper presents a real-time method for Spoken Language Identification based on the entropy of the posterior probabilities of language specific phoneme recognisers. Entropy based discriminant functions computed on short speech segments are used to compare the model fit to a specific set of observations and language identification is performed as a model selection task. The experiments, perfo...
متن کاملProduction and perception of vowel length in spoken sentences.
A series of experiments was conducted to determine (1) the accuracy with which vowel segment durations in spoken sentences can be represented in auditory sensory storage and (2) the extent to which phoneme boundaries in the identification of phonemic vowel length in Dutch are affected by syntactic and/or auditory-phonetic context. In a preliminary production test it was found that durations of ...
