Pronouncing novel graphemes: the role of consonantal context.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In three experiments, we examined how readers learn and generalize new pronunciations for vowel graphemes. Children ages 6 1/2 to 9 (n = 97) and college students (n = 21) were taught a nonword that included a novel vowel pronunciation in the middle position (e.g., zuop is pronounced /zup/). They were then asked to pronounce other nonwords that contained the same vowel grapheme. Participants were more likely to use the taught pronunciation when the target item and the training item shared a consonant as well as a vowel than when they shared only the vowel. The new pronunciation was not significantly more likely to appear when the target shared the vowel and final consonant (rime) of the training stimulus than when it shared the initial consonant and vowel. We discuss implications for views of reading and its development.

When college students pronounce nonwords, their vowel pronunciations may be affected not only by the consonant that follows the vowel, the coda, but also by the preceding consonant, the onset (Treiman, Kessler, & Bick, 2003). We presented the nonwords used by Treiman et al. to a total of 94 first graders, third graders, fifth graders, and high school students to determine when these context inf...

Efficient grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion models are considered indispensable components to achieve the stateof-the-art performance in modern automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) systems. The role of these models is to provide such systems with a means to generate accurate pronunciations for unseen words. Recent work in this domain is based on recurrent neural networ...

The aim of this work is to introduce a primary research on Arabic audiovisual analysis. Each language has multiple phonemes and visemes and each viseme can have multiple phonemes. The first part focuses on how to classify Arabic visemes from still images, whereas the second part shows the variation of Pitch for each viseme. We haven’t taken coarticulation of visemes in context. To evaluate the ...

متن کاملThe role of meaning in grapheme-colour synaesthesia.
When the synaesthete, J, is shown black graphemes, in addition to perceiving the black digits or letters she also experiences highly specific colours that overlay the graphemes (e.g., 5 is pink, S is green). We used ambiguous graphemes in a Stroop-type task to show that the exact same forms (e.g., 5) can elicit different synaesthetic colours depending on whether they are interpreted as digits o...
