Contextual Effects in T Fricative Place of a a Rotational Hy

چکیده
According to the interactive model of consonant place of articulation perception, the vowel context not only biases place decisions but also affects the processing of the place cues. Data on the perception of French fricative-vowel syllables suggest that contextual effects are indeed interactive, thereby confirming previous findings in Dutch. Further, these data suggests a new formulation of the contextual rules for place of articulation perception in terms of rotational movements around a central reference corresponding to the neutral vowel (“schwa”).

Contextual Effects of Ethnicity, Gender, and Place on Depression; Case Study of War Related Stress for Kurdish Women
Contextual factors such as ethnicity, gender, place, and their intersections determine the social condition that populations and individuals live in. As a result, environmental stressors that shape exposures, and also resilience and vulnerabilities are specific to the population. This emphasizes the role of the intersection of such contextual factors in studying psychosocial causes of depressio...
متن کاملINFLUENCE OF VOCALIC CONTEXT ON PERCEPTION OF THE [ J [ s ] DISTINCTION : II . SPECTRAL FACTORS
The posi tion of the category boundary along a synthetic [J J-[ sJ noise continuum depends on the following vocalic segment: When the vowel is [u], more "s" responses are given than when the vowel is [aJ. In Experiment I, we showed that this context effect disappears when the vocal ic portion is synthesized so as to contain no formant transitions. To dissociate the contribution of formant trans...
متن کاملFricative-stop coarticulation: acoustic and perceptual evidence.
Eight native speakers of American English each produced ten tokens of all possible CV, FCV, and VFCV utterances with V = [a] or [u], F = [s] or [integral of], and C = [t] or [k]. Acoustic analysis showed that the formant transition onsets following the stop consonant release were systematically influenced by the preceding fricative, although there were large individual differences. In particula...
متن کاملAcoustic structure of fricative consonants in Greek
The present study examines the temporal and spectral characteristics of Greek fricatives (duration and spectral moments, i.e. mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) as distinctive cues for their place of articulation. The effects of voicing, speaker’s gender and post-fricative vowel on both duration and spectral moments are also investigated. The results indicate that noise duration does not disti...
متن کاملThe development of perceptual cue-weighting in children aged 6 to 12
Development in the ability to categorise phonemic contrasts was examined in 85 children aged 6 to 12 and thirteen adult controls using synthetic stimulus continua presented in identification tests. The range of contrasts included a stop voicing contrast (/g/-/k/), a stop place contrast (/d/-/g/), a fricative voicing contrast (/s/-/z/), a fricative place contrast (/s/-/S/), and a fricative-affri...
