A Perception - based Study of Sonorant Assimilation in Korean •
نویسنده
چکیده
Speech perception phenomena have been drawn on by researchers in the area of phonological theory to elucidate synchronic phonological processes such as neutralization (Steriade 1995, 1997), consonant/consonant metathesis (Hume 1998, 2001), place assimilation (Jun 1995), etc. It has also been found that listeners' perceptual abilities are influenced by their native language experience (e.g. Hume et al. 1999).

Perceptual distortions in the adaptation of English consonant clusters: syllable structure or consonantal contact constraints?
We present the results from an experiment that tests the perception of English consonantal sequences by Korean speakers and we confirm that perceptual epenthesis in a second languge (L2) arises from syllable structure restrictions of the first language (L1), rather than linear co-occurence restrictions. Our study replicates and extends Dupoux, Kakehi, Hirose, Pallier, & Mehler's (1999) results ...
متن کاملProsodic conditioning of pre-sonorant voicing
The present study investigates the influence of prosodic structure on pre-sonorant voicing in Slovak. Our results demonstrate that prosodic boundaries as well as accent interact in a meaningful way with voicing assimilation. If a major boundary intervenes, the role of accent is eliminated, while in other contexts the presence of contrastive focus induces less voicing. A novel finding of the stu...
متن کاملAn acoustic, aerodynamic and perceptual investigation of word-initial denasalization in Korean
Korean nasals /m/ and /n/ are generally considered by Korean phoneticians to be hardly different from the corresponding English sounds, but those in word-initial position are often perceived as plosives by native speakers of English. This had been noted by only a few previous observers, and investigated on a very limited scale. In this study, various experimental methods were employed in system...

متن کاملSchwa-assimilation in danish synthetic speech
Assimilation of schwa into surrounding sonorant consonants is a vital feature of natural Danish speech. It varies with speaking rate and speaking style and is more likely to occur in some phonological contexts than in others. This presents some problems for the implementation of the process into a Danish textto-speech system.
