Reconsidering Listener Evaluations of Creaky Voice
In U.S. English, nonpathological creaky voice (vocal fry) is a common voice quality that contributes meaningful linguistic information. However, several studies have found that speakers who use creaky voice, particularly young women, are rated as sounding less hirable and less pleasant. The current study reexamines these findings by using utterances with spontaneously produced creaky voice in one of its most common locations (phrase-final positio…
Home Language Experience Shapes Which Skills Are Used during Unfamiliar Speech Processing
Speech mixed with noise and speech that is of an unfamiliar variety both make the task of understanding more difficult. Children are often more negatively affected by these situations than adults. Numerous studies have examined the cognitive and linguistic skills that support spoken language processing. In the current study, we examine the contribution of linguistic exposure and various cognitive and linguistic skills for spoken word recognition …
Effects of dialect-specific features and familiarity on cross-dialect phonetic convergence
Training a non-native vowel contrast with a distributional learning paradigm results in improved perception and production
Talker familiarity and spoken word recognition in school-age children
Research with adults has shown that spoken language processing is improved when listeners are familiar with talkers' voices, known as the familiar talker advantage. The current study explored whether this ability extends to school-age children, who are still acquiring language. Children were familiarized with the voices of three German–English bilingual talkers and were tested on the speech of six bilinguals, three of whom were familiar. Results …
Generalization of Phonetic Detail
The current study examined whether fine-grained phonetic detail (voice onset time (VOT)) of one segment (/p/ or /k/) generalizes to a different segment (/t/) within the same natural class. Two primes were constructed to exploit the natural variation of VOT: a velar stop followed by a high vowel ( keen) resulting in a naturally long VOT and a labial stop followed by a low vowel ( pan) resulting in a naturally shorter VOT. Two experiments were cond…
Phonemic vs. derived glides
Nonword Repetition with Spectrally Reduced Speech
Nonword repetition skills were examined in 24 pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users and 18 normal-hearing (NH) adult listeners listening through a CI simulator. Two separate groups of NH adult listeners assigned accuracy ratings to the nonword responses of the pediatric CI users and the NH adult speakers. Overall, the nonword repetitions of children using CIs were rated as more accurate than the nonword repetitions of the adults. The nonword repe…
Acoustic correlates of lexical accent in Turkish
Phonologists have long discussed the properties of 'stress' in Turkish, though there are some authors that suggest that Turkish is actually a pitch-accent language. As a first step in determining whether Turkish should be grouped with pitch-accent languages such as Basque and Japanese or with stress-accent languages such as English, this experimental study provides a detailed phonetic examination of word-level accent in Turkish. Seven female nati…
