Learning a language with vowelless words
Open AccessGeorgia Zellou, Santiago Barreda et al.ARTICLECognition2024
Vowelless words are exceptionally typologically rare, though they are found in some languages, such as Tashlhiyt (e.g., fkt 'give it'). The current study tests whether lexicons containing tri-segmental (CCC) vowelless words are more difficult to acquire than lexicons not containing vowelless words by adult English speakers from brief auditory exposure. The role of acoustic-phonetic form on learning these typologically rare word forms is also expl…

Perception of the Lexical Accent Contrast in One Variety of East Norwegian
Open AccessNiamh E Kelly, Niamh Kelly et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2018Citada por: 1Referencias: 30
The perception of the lexical pitch accents was examined in the Trøndersk dialect of Norwegian. Based on a production study, a categorization of stimuli with manipulated pitch contours was conducted. The experiment tested which acoustic cues (height and alignment of fundamental frequency (F0) minimum, and alignment of F0 maximum and turning point from maximum to minimum) are necessary for the perception of the tonal contrast. The results are cons…

Speaking and Hearing Clearly
Open AccessRajka Smiljanic, Ann Bradlow et al.ARTICLELanguage and Linguistics Compass2009Citada por: 31Referencias: 69
This article provides an overview of the research concerning the nature of the distinct, listener-oriented speaking style called 'clear speech' and its effect on intelligibility for various listener populations. We review major findings that identify talker, listener and signal characteristics that contribute to the characteristically high intelligibility of clear speech. Understanding the interplay of these factors sheds light on the interaction…
