  • Transposition Effects in an Aksharic Writing System

    Open AccessAnurag Rimzhim, Avantika Johri et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2021Cited by: 1References: 46

    We tested for transposition effects (TEs) in Hindi (a Modern Indo-Aryan language) using unprimed lexical decision. TEs are defined as less accurate and slower responses to transposed-nonwords (e.g., ‹psate›, formed from base-word ‹paste›) than corresponding replaced-nonwords (e.g., ‹pzute›). In Hindi’s orthography, letters map transparently to phonemes (except schwa), but the letters are arranged into “akshars,” (‹[C n ]V›) which encode open syll…

  • Relations Between Reading and Speech Manifest Universal Phonological Principle

    Donald Shankweiler, Carol A FowlerARTICLEAnnual Review of Linguistics2019References: 1

    All writing systems represent speech, providing a means for recording each word of a message. This is achieved by symbolizing the phonological forms of spoken words as well as information conveying grammar and meaning. Alphabetic systems represent the segmental phonology by providing symbols for individual consonants and vowels; some also convey morphological units. Other systems represent syllables (typically CVs) or morphosyllables. In all case…

  • Fields, Waves, and Particles

    Bert H Hodges, Carol A FowlerARTICLEEcological Psychology2015

    One of the most common activities in which humans engage is talking with each other, yet scientists reflecting on that activity have found it difficult to engage. Some have denied the possibility of scientific accounts of public language, but a broad array of theoretical, empirical, and methodological developments in the past 2 decades have challenged that pessimism. Interdisciplinary efforts are beginning to provide new possibilities for studyin…

  • Cooperativity and Selectivity in Conversation

    Bert H Hodges, Carol A FowlerARTICLEEcological Psychology2015

    Conversing with others is a mundane, daily activity of nearly all humans, yet it is an extraordinary feat of social collaboration that depends on cooperation, social learning, and collective coordination across an array of caring relationships. This article briefly considers the cooperative and selective nature of language and something of its contributions to the structural, social, and developmental character of human action and cognition. In d…

  • Seeking a reading machine for the blind and discovering the speech code

    Donald Shankweiler, Carol A FowlerARTICLEHistory of Psychology2014Cited by: 1References: 4

    A machine that can read printed material to the blind became a priority at the end of World War II with the appointment of a U.S. Government committee to instigate research on sensory aids to improve the lot of blinded veterans. The committee chose Haskins Laboratories to lead a multisite research program. Initially, Haskins researchers overestimated the capacities of users to learn an acoustic code based on the letters of a text, resulting in un…

  • Speech Production and Perception

    Open AccessCarol A Fowler, Khalil IskarousOTHERHandbook of Psychology, Second…2012

    The chapter provides an overview of speech production and perception by summarizing research findings and theories in four domains. We describe theories of “phonological competence” in linguistics that characterize what language users know about the sound systems and word forms of their language. Next we summarize research and explanations of “phonological planning” whereby language users intending to speak develop a plan for an utterance at the …

  • Dynamics and Languaging

    Carol A Fowler, Bert H HodgesARTICLEEcological Psychology2011

    We introduce the second of 2 special issues of Ecological Psychology that present papers from a conference, “Grounding Language in Perception and (Inter)action,” held at Gordon College in June 2009. The articles in this issue situate the study of language use in two kinds of context that are central to an understanding of “languaging” activities in the social settings in which they occur. The first is the context of dynamical systems theory. Wall…

  • Articulatory events are imitated under rapid shadowing

  • Embodied, Embedded Language Use

    Carol A FowlerARTICLEEcological Psychology2010

    Language use has a public face that is as important to study as the private faces under intensive psycholinguistic study. In the domain of phonology, public use of speech must meet an interpersonal "parity" constraint if it is to serve to communicate. That is, spoken language forms must reliably be identified by listeners. To that end, language forms are embodied, at the lowest level of description, as phonetic gestures of the vocal tract that la…

  • New Affordances for Language

    Bert H Hodges, Carol A FowlerARTICLEEcological Psychology2010

    In introducing the articles of this special issue on language, which grew out of the conference "Grounding Language in Perception and (Inter) Action," we take the opportunity to reflect on fundamental aspects of speaking and listening to others that are often overlooked. The act of conversing is marked by context sensitivity, interdependency, impredicativity, irreversibility, and responsibility, among other things. Language entails real work: it …

  • Visual Influences on Perception of Speech and Nonspeech Vocal-Tract Events

    Open AccessLawrence Brancazio, Catherine T Best et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2006Cited by: 1References: 37

    We report four experiments designed to determine whether visual information affects judgments of acoustically-specified nonspeech events as well as speech events (the “McGurk effect”). Previous findings have shown only weak McGurk effects for nonspeech stimuli, whereas strong effects are found for consonants. We used click sounds that serve as consonants in some African languages, but that are perceived as nonspeech by American English listeners.…

  • Mutual interpersonal postural constraints are involved in cooperative conversation.

    Kevin Shockley, Marie-Vee Santana et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental…2003

    The research was designed to evaluate interpersonal coordination during conversation with a new measurement tool. The experiment uses an analysis based on recurrence strategies, known as cross recurrence quantification, to evaluate the shared activity between 2 postural time series in reconstructed phase space. Pairs of participants were found to share more locations in phase space (greater recurrence) in conditions where they were conversing wit…
