Maximum short quantity in Japanese and finish in two perception tests with F0 and db variants
نویسنده
چکیده
Maximum short segments of quantity in 120 discrimination tests at the word level were compared between twoand three-choice alternatives and with production test results utilising the same syllable structures. The materials in the perception test were eight kinds of bisyllabic synthetic nonsense words with five different prosodic patterns. These structures were used in the production test. 28 Finnish and Japanese subjects participated in the two perception tests and three speakers of each language in the production test. The results showed that (1) the short vowels/consonants in the two perception tests were longer than in the production tests; (2) the word-structural differences had more effect than the prosodic conditional differences in both Finnish and Japanese in both tests; (3) the short segmental durations were shorter in Finnish in the three choices than in the two choices but the Japanese counterparts were the reverse; (4) there was a correlation in some cases between perception and production.

متن کاملPerception of Japanese quantity by Swedish speaking learners: A preliminary analysis
Swedish learners’ perception of Japanese quantity was investigated by means of an identification task. Swedish informants performed similarly to native Japanese listeners in short/long identification of both vowel and consonant. The Swedish and Japanese listeners reacted similarly both to the durational variation and to the F0 change despite the different use of F0 fall in relation with quantit...
متن کاملPerception of Foreign Accentedness in L2 Prosody and Segments: L1 Japanese Speakers Learning L2 French
In order to examine the production of Japanese-speaking L2 learners of French, a series of perception tests were conducted with 17 native speakers of French (from mainland France). The subjects listened to French short phrases 1) synthesized with Mbrola using (European standard and Canadian) French and Japanese segments, combined with duration and F0 found in the recording of phrases read by Ja...
متن کاملDuration and F0 as perceptual cues to Japanese vowel quantity
Vowel duration and local fundamental frequency changes are investigated as acoustical cues to vowel quantity identification by Japanese listeners. To examine the role of these factors, a perception experiment was carried out. The results indicate that, even though vowel duration serves as a dominant perceptual cue, when vowel quantity cannot be adequately cued by vowel duration alone, the F0 in...
متن کاملFractal Bandpass Filter Using Y-shaped Dual-Mode Resonator for C-Band Receiver (Research Note)
In this study, a fractal, Y-shaped dual-mode resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is introduced. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeroes (TZs) near the lower and upper cutoff frequency that can effectively improve the passband edge selectivity. Also, a fractal shaped based on conventional diamond and ...
