This is the first study to examine stop voicing perception in the societal (English) and heritage language (Spanish) of bilingual preschoolers. The study a) compares bilinguals' English perception patterns to those of monolinguals; b) it ex...
Assessing ultrasound probe stabilization for quantifying speech production contrasts using the Adjustable Laboratory Probe Holder for UltraSound (ALPHUS) [0.03%]
使用可调实验室超声波探头固定器(ALPHUS)量化语音产生的差异时的超声波探头稳定性的评估

Ultrasound imaging of the tongue is biased by the probe movements relative to the speaker's head. Two common remedies are restricting or algorithmically compensating for such movements, each with its own challenges. We describe these challe...
Extreme stop allophony in Mixtec spontaneous speech: data, word prosody, and modelling [0.03%]

Word-level prosody plays an important role in processes of consonant lenition. Typically, consonants in word-initial position are strengthened while those in word-medial position are lenited (Keating et al., 2003). In this paper we examine ...
Classifying Conversational Entrainment of Speech Behavior: An Expanded Framework and Review [0.03%]

Conversational entrainment, also known as alignment, accommodation, convergence, and coordination, is broadly defined as similarity of communicative behavior between interlocutors. Within current literature, specific terminology, definition...
Production and perception of prevelar merger: Two-dimensional comparisons using Pillai scores and confusion matrices [0.03%]
二元对比分析前高音合并的产生和感知情况(采用Pillai分数及混淆矩阵)

Vowel merger production is quantified with gradient acoustic measures, while phonemic perception methods are often coarser, complicating comparisons within mergers in progress. This study implements a perception experiment in two-dimensiona...

It is well reported that articulatory movements comprising prominence units are longer, larger and faster than their non-prominent counterparts. However, it is unclear whether these effects arise at the level of lexical stress or accent or ...

Evidence from acoustic and articulatory phonetics suggests that children coarticulate more than adults, but previous work has focused on the instantiation of coarticulation with phonology in a typologically homogeneous sample. The interplay...
It's alignment all the way down, but not all the way up: Speakers align on some features but not others within a dialogue [0.03%]
一竿到底,但并非直达顶点:对话中说话人会在某些特征上达成一致,而不会在另一些特征上达成一致

During conversation, speakers modulate characteristics of their production to match their interlocutors' characteristics. This behavior is known as alignment. Speakers align at many linguistic levels, including the syntactic, lexical, and p...

Vowel-intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0), the phenomenon that high vowels tend to have a higher fundamental frequency (f0) than low vowels, has been studied for over a century, but its causal mechanism is still controversial. The most co...
Statistical distributions of consonant variants in infant-directed speech: evidence that /t/ may be exceptional [0.03%]
婴儿导向语言中辅音变体的统计分布:/t/可能是特例的证据

Laura Dilley et al.
Statistical distributions of phonetic variants in spoken language influence speech perception for both language learners and mature users. We theorized that patterns of phonetic variant processing of consonants demonstrated by adults might ...
