OBJECTIVE This study focusses on the optimal paradigm for simultaneous assessment of auditory and phonemic discrimination in clinical populations. We investigated (a) whether pitch and phonemic deviants presented together in one sequence are able to elicit mismatch negativities (MMNs) in healthy adults and (b) whether MMN elicited by a change in pitch is modulated by the presence of the phonemi...

A strong intuition that phonemic qualities suggest meaning has motivated discussions of the sound of language since the time of Plato. However, studies of phonetic symbolism this century have been inconclusive: while systematic contrasts of meaning have often been found, these are not necessarily due to innate phonetic meanings. An alternative approach is presented based on a theory of phonemic...

Partially phonemic languages use writing systems which are in between strictly phonemic and non-phonemic orthography. Therefore, phonetic errors are very frequent in such languages. This paper introduces an approach for development of spellcheckers for partially phonemic languages that use grapheme-to-phoneme mapping for isolated-word error correction. Since, a complete and accurate grapheme-to...
