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

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 ...

In producing linguistic prominence, certain linguistic elements are highlighted relative to others in a given domain; focus is an instance of prominence in which speakers highlight new or important information. This study investigates promi...
Training a non-native vowel contrast with a distributional learning paradigm results in improved perception and production [0.03%]
分布学习范式训练非母语元音对立可以改善感知和发音能力

Previous distributional learning research suggests that adults can improve perception of a non-native contrast more efficiently when exposed to a bimodal than a unimodal distribution. Studies have also suggested that perceptual learning can...

Activation of both of a bilingual's languages during auditory word recognition has been widely documented. Here, we argue that if parallel activation in bilinguals is the result of a bottom-up process where phonetic features that overlap ac...
Pause Postures: The relationship between articulation and cognitive processes during pauses [0.03%]
休止的姿势——停顿期间话语表达与认知过程之间的关系

Studies examining articulatory characteristics of pauses have identified language-specific postures of the vocal tract in inter-utterance pauses and different articulatory patterns in grammatical and non-grammatical pauses. Pause postures-s...

In this special collection entitled Marking 50 Years of Research on Voice Onset Time and the Voicing Contrast in the World's Languages, we have compiled eleven studies investigating the voicing contrast in 19 languages. The collection provi...
Computing low-dimensional representations of speech from socio-auditory structures for phonetic analyses [0.03%]
基于社会听觉结构计算用于音系分析的低维语音表示方法

Andrew R Plummer
Low-dimensional representations of speech data, such as formant values extracted by linear predictive coding analysis or spectral moments computed from whole spectra viewed as probability distributions, have been instrumental in both phonet...
Phonetic drift in Spanish-English bilinguals: Experiment and a self-organizing model [0.03%]
双语者的语音漂移：实验与自组织模型
Stephen J Tobin,Hosung Nam,Carol A Fowler
Stephen J Tobin
Studies of speech accommodation provide evidence for change in use of language structures beyond the critical/sensitive period. For example, Sancier and Fowler (1997) found changes in the voice-onset-times (VOTs) of both languages of a Port...

This study presents techniques for quantitatively analyzing coordination and kinematics in multimodal speech using video, audio and electromagnetic articulography (EMA) data. Multimodal speech research has flourished due to recent improveme...
Training-induced pattern-specific phonetic adjustments by first and second language listeners [0.03%]
听者第一及第二语言的训练诱导的话语模式特定的语音调整效果研究

Angela Cooper
The current study investigated the phonetic adjustment mechanisms that underlie perceptual adaptation in first and second language (Dutch-English) listeners by exposing them to a novel English accent containing controlled deviations from th...
