A study of regressive place assimilation in spontaneous speech and its implications for spoken word recognition.
Regressive place assimilation is a form of pronunciation variation in which a word-final alveolar sound takes the place of articulation of a following labial or velar sound, as when green boat is pronounced greem boat. How listeners recover the intended word (e.g., green, given greem) has been a major focus of spoken word recognition theories. However, the extent to which this variation occurs ...
متن کاملPlace assimilation across words in running speech: corpus analysis and perception.
Place assimilation can lead to neutralization of segmental contrasts. It is controversial, however, to what extent such neutralizations actually happen in natural speech. This study examines: (i) the degree to which regressive place assimilations occur in word final consonants in conversational German, and (ii) whether these assimilations are perceived as neutralized by listeners. The productio...
متن کاملRunning 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 کاملSpeech rate and articulatory patterns of Italian nasal-velar clusters
In Italian /nk/ and /n#k/ clusters, the nasal is said to assimilate to the point of articulation of the following stop: this process is merely allophonic (since no phonological velar nasal is present in Italian), contextually determined, and categorical [8]. By means of EPG analysis, [5] found that the process of nasal assimilation in Italian was complete in all the occurrences, for all the sub...
متن کاملNot all sounds in assimilation environments are perceived equally: Evidence from Korean
This study tests whether potential differences in the perceptual robustness of speech sounds influence continuous-speech processes. Two phoneme-monitoring experiments examined place assimilation in Korean. In Experiment 1, Koreans monitored for targets which were either labials (/p,m/) or alveolars (/t,n/), and which were either unassimilated or assimilated to a following /k/ in two-word uttera...
