Perception of voiceless fricatives by Japanese listeners of advanced and intermediate level English proficiency
Numerous research has investigated how first language influences the perception of foreign sounds. The present study focuses on the perception of voiceless English fricatives by Japanese listeners with advanced and intermediate level English proficiency, and compares their results with that of English native listeners. Listeners identified consonants embedded in /a __ a/ in quiet, multi-speaker...
متن کاملJapanese listeners' identification of English voiceless fricatives in reverberant listening environments
This research investigated the identification ability of English voiceless fricatives by Japanese listeners with high and low English proficiency. A perceptual experiment was carried out in five listening environments: RT (Reverberation Time) = 0.78 s, 1.12 s, 1.43 s, RT = 0.78 s + background noise at SNR (Signal-to-Noise ratio) = 10 dB, and quiet. Correct identification rates were calculated a...
متن کاملSpeech perception in quiet and noise using the hearing in noise test and the Japanese hearing in noise test by Japanese listeners.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) perception abilities in quiet and noise of native Japanese listeners who acquired English late in life and lived in the United States. The study addressed two primary questions: (1) whether native Japanese listeners who developed some fluency in English showed poorer English speech perception abilit...
متن کاملJapanese listeners' perception of English fricatives in AMR-NB cell phone speech
From the fact that Japanese listeners have difficulty perceiving English fricative sounds in natural speech, it is natural to expect that such listeners would have even more difficulty perceiving fricatives in degraded speech. This research tests the ability of 72 Japanese university students to identify fricatives in English words presented in cell phone speech simulated with the AMR-NB codec....
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...
