Non-Native Listeners' Use of Information in Parsing Ambiguous Casual Speech
During conversation, speakers produce reduced speech, and this can create homophones: 'we were' and 'we're' can both be realized as [ɚ], and 'he was' and 'he's' can be realized as [ɨz]. We investigate the types of information non-native listeners (Dutch L1-English L2) use to perceive the tense of such verbs, making comparisons with previous results from native listeners. The Dutch listeners were almost as successful as natives (average percentage…
Advancements of phonetics in the 21st century
An effect of flaps on the fourth formant in English
Very few segments of the world's languages have been shown to have a systematic effect on the fourth formant (F4). We investigate a large drop in F4 which sometimes occurs in conjunction with the flap in American English. The goal of the present work is to document this phenomenon, and to determine what phonological environments coincide with this large drop in F4. We measure data from six speakers producing words with medial flaps in various env…
Individual differences in phonetic cue use in production and perception of a non-native sound contrast
Vowel insertion in Scottish Gaelic
Scottish Gaelic has been cited as providing an instance of vowel excrescence (Hall 2006). One of the defining properties of excrescent vowels is that they are phonologically inert and are not motivated by – nor do they contribute to – the syllable structure of a language. In this paper, we report on a series of experiments which tap into native speakers' intuitions of syllable structure in Scottish Gaelic. Insofar as intuitions about syllable cou…

Sharing of Data as It Relates to Human Subjects Issues and Data Management Plans
Researchers often wish to make knowledge publicly available, especially through publication, but may not wish to share their raw data. Human Subjects offices (IRBs) sometimes wish to keep all information private or even to have raw data destroyed. Funding agencies may hope for the data they finance collection of to be made publicly available to increase its impact. These motivations often conflict. This paper discusses how current Human Subjects …
What it means to be phonetic or phonological
phonological patterns and detailed phonetic patterns can combine to produce unusual acoustic results, but criteria for what aspects of a pattern are phonetic and what aspects are phonological are often disputed. Early literature on Romanian makes mention of nasal devoicing in word-final clusters (e.g. in /basm/ ‘fairy-tale’). Using acoustic, aerodynamic and ultrasound data, the current work investigates how syllable structure, prosodic boundaries…
Intonational Structure as a Word-boundary Cue in Tokyo Japanese
While listeners are recognizing words from the connected speech stream, they are also parsing information from the intonational contour. This contour may contain cues to word boundaries, particularly if a language has boundary tones that occur at a large proportion of word onsets. We investigate how useful the pitch rise at the beginning of an accentual phrase (APR) would be as a potential word-boundary cue for Japanese listeners. A corpus study …
Revitalization in a scattered language community
This article addresses revitalization of a dormant language whose prospective speakers live in scattered geographical areas. In comparison to increasing the usage of an endangered language, revitalizing a dormant language (one with no living speakers) requires different methods to gain knowledge of the language. Language teaching for a dormant language with a scattered community presents different problems from other teaching situations. In this …

Making a Dictionary for Community Use in Language Revitalization
How one writes a dictionary of a language can be greatly affected by what information is available about the language, and by who the intended users of the dictionary are. This article describes the making of a dictionary for Mutsun, a Native American language which currently has no speakers (it is dormant). The Mutsun community is attempting to revitalize their heritage language, and the creation of this dictionary is one part of that project. W…
Orthographic vs. morphological incomplete neutralization effects
Use of complex phonological patterns in speech processing
Korean has a very complex phonology, with many interacting alternations. In a coronal-/i/ sequence, depending on the type of phonological boundary present, alternations such as palatalization, nasal insertion, nasal assimilation, coda neutralization, and intervocalic voicing can apply. This paper investigates how the phonological patterns of Korean affect processing of morphemes and words. Past research on languages such as English, German, Dutch…
Phonetic data analysis
Peter Ladefoged, Phonetic data analysis: An introduction to fieldwork and instrumental techniques. Malden, MA, & Oxford: Blackwell, 2003. Pp. xi, 196. Pb. $34.95. This book teaches readers how to conduct phonetic fieldwork, from planning through data collection to analysis. Peter Ladefoged is eminently qualified to write this book, as probably the world's top phonetician, and as someone with an astounding quantity of phonetic fieldwork experience
Incomplete neutralization and other sub-phonemic durational differences in production and perception
The phonology of epenthetic stops
This paper presents an OT analysis of stop epenthesis, which as well as reflecting the basic pattern of stop insertion can also model the available quantitative data on variability of stop epenthesis and the phonetic difference between epenthetic and underlying stops. However, accounting for these factors requires the introduction of two very powerful mechanisms within OT, absolute ranking with noise added to rankings at evaluation time (Boersma …
The phonological status of Dutch epenthetic schwa
In this paper, we use articulatory measures to determine whether Dutch schwa epenthesis is an abstract phonological process or a concrete phonetic process depending on articulatory timing. We examine tongue position during /l/ before underlying schwa and epenthetic schwa and in coda position. We find greater tip raising before both types of schwa, indicating light /l/ before schwa and dark /l/ in coda position. We argue that the ability of epenth…
