The perception of anticipatory nasality in English, French, and German
The goal of the current paper is to study the perception of long-distance anticipatory nasality in three languages – American English, Northern Metropolitan French, and Standard German. The study thereby links explicitly to our previous production study which was able to show that nasality can, in all three languages, spread beyond the prenasal vowel in CVN words. Nonetheless, there were significant differences between languages in terms of the t…
Lexical Bias Effects do not Influence Responses to Real-Time Temporal Auditory Feedback Perturbation
In speech perception, listeners tend to hear real words rather than non-words on a physically balanced real word—non-word continuum (lexical bias effect). Bourguignon et al. found a similar effect in speech production: With spectral auditory feedback perturbations, they altered vowels toward other vowels thereby causing a shift in lexical status (from word to non-word or vice versa) or not. This study tests whether the lexical bias effect can be …
The velarized lateral [ɫ] in East Austrian base dialects
This paper is concerned with the velarized lateral [ɫ] as a possible realization of the lateral phoneme /l/ in the rural Central Bavarian base dialects of German in Austria. So far, velarized laterals in Austrian German have mainly been described as a socially marked realization of /l/ in Vienna. However, descriptions of Austrian dialects mostly lack detailed acoustic analyses. Therefore, we analyzed the first two formants of alveolar laterals fr…
Language-specific and individual variation in anticipatory nasal coarticulation
Anticipatory nasal coarticulation is studied in American English, Northern Metropolitan French and Standard German. • Anticipatory nasality is most extensive in English, possibly due to the pre-nasal vowel acting as source of coarticulation. • In German and French, coarticulatory nasality covers on average 80-90% of the pre-nasal vowel. • German is most variable, consistent with a lack of phonological control of vowel nasality in this language. •…
Perceptually Easy Second-Language Phones Are Not Always Easy
Encoding and establishing a new second-language (L2) phonological category is notoriously difficult. This is particularly true for phonological contrasts that do not exist in the learners’ native language (L1). Phonological categories that also exist in the L1 do not seem to pose any problems. However, foreign-language learners are not only presented with oral input. Instructed L2 learning often involves heavy reliance on written forms of the tar…
Spatial location does not consistently constrain perceptual learning in speech
Spatial selectivity in perceptual learning for speech perception is investigated. • Results show that spatial selectivity is not inherent to learning in speech perception. • This shows that perceptual learning in other paradigms can reveal perceptual units. Recent research showed selectivity of perceptual learning in speech to linguistic variables and non-linguistic variables. With regard to the latter Keetels et al. (2016) reported that perceptu…
Increased reliance on top-down information to compensate for reduced bottom-up use of acoustic cues in dyslexia
Speech recognition is a complex human behavior in the course of which listeners must integrate the detailed phonetic information present in the acoustic signal with their general linguistic knowledge. It is commonly assumed that this process occurs effortlessly for most people, but it is still unclear whether this also holds true in the case of developmental dyslexia (DD), a condition characterized by perceptual deficits. In the present study, we…

The Impact of Free Allophonic Variation on the Perception of Second Language Phonological Categories
When learning the phonological categories of a second language (L2), learners have to deal with phonetic variation. For instance, allophonic variant forms have to be recognized as the same phoneme. A minimal pair identification task was used to assess how late Spanish learners of German perceive the phonological /r/-/h/ contrast. German /r/ was realized as one of three allophones ([r], [ʀ], [ʁ]) that vary in phonetic similarity to /h/ as well as …
Imitation in a Second Language Relies on Phonological Categories but Does Not Reflect the Productive Usage of Difficult Sound Contrasts
This study investigated the relationship between imitation and both the perception and production abilities of second language (L2) learners for two non-native contrasts differing in their expected degree of difficulty. German learners of English were tested on perceptual categorization, imitation and a word reading task for the difficult English /ɛ/-/æ/ contrast, which tends not to be well encoded in the learners’ phonological inventories, and t…

What sound symbolism can and cannot do
Sound symbolism is a phenomenon with broad relevance to the study of language and mind, but there has been a disconnect between its investigations in linguistics and psychology. This study tests the sound-symbolic potential of ideophones-words described as iconic-in an experimental task that improves over prior work in terms of ecological validity and experimental control. We presented 203 ideophones from five languages to eighty-two Dutch listen…

Speaking Rate Affects the Perception of Duration as a Suprasegmental Lexical-stress Cue
Three categorization experiments investigated whether the speaking rate of a preceding sentence influences durational cues to the perception of suprasegmental lexical-stress patterns. Dutch two-syllable word fragments had to be judged as coming from one of two longer words that matched the fragment segmentally but differed in lexical stress placement. Word pairs contrasted primary stress on either the first versus the second syllable or the first…
