Speech Rhythm—Models and Metrics for L1 and L2 Speech
Rhythm results from repeating speech movements that yield recurrent acoustic events, which are recognized by speech perception systems as properties of discrete linguistic units—phonemes and phonemic clusters, syllables, feet, phonological words, prosodic phrases, and utterances. These linguistic units are organized hierarchically: smaller units are embedded in larger ones. As speech flow is a concatenation of these recurrent constituents, speech…
Affixation patterns in native language and sequence processing by statistical learning mechanisms
The suffixing bias (the tendency to exploit suffixes more often than prefixes to express grammatical meanings) in languages was identified a century ago, yet we still lack a clear account for why it emerged, namely, whether the bias emerged because general cognitive mechanisms shape languages to be more easily processed by available cognitive machinery, or if the bias is speech-specific and is determined by domain-specific mechanisms. We used sta…
Cultural influence on metacognition
We tested the hypothesis that metacognition—the ability to evaluate one’s own cognitive processes and mental states—is modulated by cultural values. We used retrospective confidence ratings to objectively measure metacognition in a mental rotation task in three culturally different regions: the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Western Europe (Portugal) and the Far East (China). Our data support the theory that metacognition is social in nature, at lea…

Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm
We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal alternations in time, measured as durational variability in peak-to-peak and valley-to-valley intervals; (b) magnitude of F0 excursions, measured as the range of frequencies covered by the speaker between consecutive F0 maxima and min…
Statistical Speech Segmentation in Tone Languages
Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation of speech based on transitional probabilities (TPs), more effectively than vowels. Theory and data so far, however, have considered only non-tone languages, that is to say, languages that lack contrastive lexical tones. In the present work, we provide a first invest…
Relative Salience of Speech Rhythm and Speech Rate on Perceived Foreign Accent in a Second Language
We investigated the independent contribution of speech rate and speech rhythm to perceived foreign accent. To address this issue we used a resynthesis technique that allows neutralizing segmental and tonal idiosyncrasies between identical sentences produced by French learners of English at different proficiency levels and maintaining the idiosyncrasies pertaining to prosodic timing patterns. We created stimuli that (1) preserved the idiosyncrasie…

Transition Probabilities and Different Levels of Prominence in Segmentation
A large body of empirical research demonstrates that people exploit a wide variety of cues for the segmentation of continuous speech in artificial languages, including rhythmic properties, phrase boundary cues, and statistical regularities. However, less is known regarding how the different cues interact. In this study we addressed the question of the relative importance of lexical stress, phrasal prominence, and transitional probabilities (TP) b…
Palatalization and Intrinsic Prosodic Vowel Features in Russian
The presented study is aimed at investigating the interaction of palatalization and intrinsic prosodic features of the vowel in CVC (consonant+vowel+consonant) syllables in Russian. The universal nature of intrinsic prosodic vowel features was confirmed with the data from the Russian language. It was found that palatalization of the consonants affects intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0), intensity (I), and duration of the vowels in CVC syllable…
