This tutorial analyzes voice onset time (VOT) data from Dongbei (Northeastern) Mandarin Chinese and North American English to demonstrate how Bayesian linear mixed models can be fit using the programming language Stan via the R package brms...
Variability of articulator positions and formants across nine English vowels [0.03%]
英语九个元音的发音器官位置和共振峰的变化规律

Speech, though communicative, is quite variable both in articulation and acoustics, and it has often been claimed that articulation is more variable. Here we compared variability in articulation and acoustics for 32 speakers in the x-ray mi...
Voice Onset Time (VOT) at 50: Theoretical and practical issues in measuring voicing distinctions [0.03%]
论及声学语音特征中的音素起音时长（VOT）：测量送气标记的理论与实践问题

Just over fifty years ago, Lisker and Abramson proposed a straightforward measure of acoustic differences among stop consonants of different voicing categories, voice onset time (VOT). Since that time, hundreds of studies have used this met...
Puzzle-solving science: the quixotic quest for units in speech perception [0.03%]
解谜的科学：语篇感知中单位的寻觅之旅

Although speech signals are continuous and variable, listeners experience segmentation and linguistic structure in perception. For years, researchers have tried to identify the basic building-block of speech perception. In that time, experi...
The Representation and Execution of Articulatory Timing in First and Second Language Acquisition [0.03%]
第一语言和第二语言学习中的发音节律的表征与实现

The early acquisition of language-specific temporal patterns relative to the late development of speech motor control suggests a dissociation between the representation and execution of articulatory timing. The current study tested for such...

One challenge for speech perception is between-speaker variability in the acoustic parameters of speech. For example, the same phoneme (e.g. the vowel in "cat") may have substantially different acoustic properties when produced by two diffe...
Individual differences in categorical perception of speech: Cue weighting and executive function [0.03%]
语音范畴感知的个体差异：线索加权和执行功能的影响

This study examined individual differences in categorical perception and the use of multiple acoustic cues in the perception of the stop voicing contrast. Goals were to investigate whether gradiency of speech perception was related to liste...

Lexical processing is slower and less accurate for unfamiliar dialects than familiar dialects. The goal of the current study was to test the hypothesis that dialect differences in lexical processing reflect differences in lexical encoding s...
The role of prominence in determining the scope of boundary-related lengthening in Greek [0.03%]

This study aims at examining and accounting for the scope of the temporal effect of phrase boundaries. Previous research has indicated that there is an interaction between boundary-related lengthening and prominence such that the former ext...

Research suggests that selective adaptation in speech is a low-level process dependent on sensory-specific information shared between the adaptor and test-stimuli. However, previous research has only examined how adaptors shift perception o...
