  • Exploring effects of brief daily exposure to unfamiliar accent on listening performance and cognitive load

    Open AccessDrew J Mclaughlin, Melissa M Baese‐berk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Language Sciences2024

    Introduction Listeners rapidly “tune” to unfamiliar accented speech, and some evidence also suggests that they may improve over multiple days of exposure. The present study aimed to measure accommodation of unfamiliar second language- (L2-) accented speech over a consecutive 5-day period using both a measure of listening performance (speech recognition accuracy) and a measure of cognitive load (a dual-task paradigm). Methods All subjects complete…

  • The Effects of Acoustic and Semantic Enhancements on Perception of Native and Non-Native Speech

    Open AccessMisaki Kato, Melissa M Baese‐berk et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 61

    Previous research has shown that native listeners benefit from clearly produced speech, as well as from predictable semantic context when these enhancements are delivered in native speech. However, it is unclear whether native listeners benefit from acoustic and semantic enhancements differently when listening to other varieties of speech, including non-native speech. The current study examines to what extent native English listeners benefit from…

  • The phonetics of vowel intrusion in Sgi Bara

    Open AccessDon Daniels, Zoë Haupt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Phonetics2024Referencias: 7

    We provide a phonetic examination of intrusive vowels in Sgi Bara [jil]. These vowels are inserted in predictable places, and their quality (either [i], [ɨ], or [u]) is also predictable, so they are not considered phonemic. We demonstrate that they differ from phonemic vowels in their duration, being shorter; and in their articulation, being more peripheral; but not in their intensity. We then demonstrate how this phonetic understanding of the di…

  • How Good Does This Sound? Examining Listeners' Second Language Proficiency and Their Perception of Category Goodness in Their Native Language

    Open AccessChristopher L Nagle, Charlie Nagle et al.ARTICLELanguages2023Referencias: 41

    Language learners often transfer the sounds and prosody of their native language into their second language, but this influence can also flow in the opposite direction, with the second language influencing the first. Among other variables, language proficiency is known to affect the degree and directionality of cross-linguistic influence. However, little is known about how second language learning affects listeners' perception of their native lan…

  • Effects of Spectral Envelope and Fundamental Frequency Shifts on the Perception of Foreign-Accented Speech

    Open AccessMichelle R Kapolowicz, Daniel R Guest et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2022Referencias: 55

    To investigate the role of spectral pattern information in the perception of foreign-accented speech, we measured the effects of spectral shifts on judgments of talker discrimination, perceived naturalness, and intelligibility when listening to Mandarin-accented English and native-accented English sentences. In separate conditions, the spectral envelope and fundamental frequency (F0) contours were shifted up or down in three steps using coordinat…
