Say it like you mean it
This study investigates whether phonemic Surprisal in English words is systematically elevated for semantically vivid meanings, extending prior research linking high Surprisal words to negative valence. We test the hypothesis that Surprisal may serve attentional optimization-drawing cognitive focus to conceptually salient words-in addition to facilitating communicative efficiency. In this study, vividness was operationalized along three semantic …
A Mouse Tracking Study of the Perception of English Affricate Onsets in Native Mandarin Learners
This paper reports on an experimental study investigating native Mandarin listeners’ perception of two English contrasts involving affricates, /dʒ/-/dɹ/, and /tʃ/-/tɹ/, using a combination of an AXB discrimination task and a Mouse Tracking (MT) identification task. Results show that Mandarin listeners experience substantial difficulty discriminating English affricates when such consonants precede an /u/ vowel, but find discrimination easy when pr…

An acoustic study on monophthongs in Central Australian Aboriginal English
We present an acoustic analysis of monophthongal vowel production in Central Australian Aboriginal English (CAAE), providing one of the first systematic examinations of this variety spoken by English-as-a-first-language (L1) speakers in Mparntwe/Alice Springs, Australia. Using conversational data from six adult female participants, we investigated the acoustic properties of CAAE's vowel system, focusing on phonemic contrasts, phonetic realisation…
Stop contrast acquisition in child Kriol
Many Aboriginal Australian communities are undergoing language shift from traditional Indigenous languages to contact varieties such as Kriol, an English-lexified Creole. Kriol is reportedly characterised by lexical items with highly variable phonological specifications, and variable implementation of voicing and manner contrasts in obstruents (Sandefur, 1986). A language, such as Kriol, characterised by this unusual degree of variability present…
Production and perception of stop voicing in Central Australian Aboriginal English
This paper reports on a series of studies investigating the production and perception of stop voicing contrasts in speakers of Central Australian Aboriginal English (CAAE; Alice Springs, Australia). Study 1 investigated Voice Onset Time (VOT) and Constriction Duration (CD) in stop consonants in naturalistic adult speech, and the speakers produced a VOT-based voicing distinction in word-initial stops, while medial voiceless stops differ from voice…
Same vowels but different contrasts
Japanese Perceptual Epenthesis is Modulated by Transitional Probability
Perceptual epenthesis is the perception of illusory vowels in consonantal sequences that violate native phonotactics. The consensus has been that each language has a single, predictable candidate for perceptual epenthesis, that vowel which is most minimal (i.e., shortest and/or quietest). However, recent studies have shown that alternate epenthetic vowels can be perceived when the perceptual epenthesis of the minimal vowel would violate native co…
When more is more
This paper presents a combined analysis of the perception and production study of the mixed language Light Warlpiri (Australia), which systematically combines elements of Warlpiri, Kriol and English. The perception and production results suggest that the Light Warlpiri phonological inventory consists of a voiced and voiceless series of stops and affricates, differentiated by Voice Onset Time (VOT) word-initially and by Constriction Duration (CD) …
Pause acceptability indicates word-internal structure in Wubuy
Words in polysynthetic languages, such as the Australian language Wubuy, can be semantically complex and translate into whole phrases in analytic languages such as English. This raises questions about whether such words are like words in English, or whether they are more like phrases. In the following, we examine Wubuy speakers' knowledge of word-internal morphological complexity in a word-preference task, in which we test the acceptability of co…
Fact or furphy? The continuum in Kriol
The Obstruent Inventory of Roper Kriol
Roper Kriol is a major variety of the largest Indigenous Australian language, Kriol, yet its phonology remains under-described and it has never been examined instrumentally. Reports suggest high variability. We present a lexical survey with native Kriol speakers followed by two acoustic studies of the obstruent inventory with literate speakers, and finally an acoustic analysis of naturally occurring speech. We conclude that the obstruent inventor…
