  • Invariant cues for place of articulation in stop consonants

    K N Stevens, Κ Ν Stevens et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of the Acoustical…1978

    In a series of experiments, identification responses for place of articulation were obtained for synthetic stop consonants in consonant–vowel syllables with different vowels. The acoustic attributes of the consonants were systematically manipulated, the selection of stimulus characteristics being guided in part by theoretical considerations concerning the expected properties of the sound generated in the vocal tract as place of articulation is va…

  • Development of a test of speech intelligibility in noise using sentence materials with controlled word predictability

    D N Kalikow, K N Stevens et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of the Acoustical…1977

    This paper describes a test of everyday speech reception, in which a listener’s utilization of the linguistic-situational information of speech is assessed, and is compared with the utilization of acoustic-phonetic information. The test items are sentences which are presented in babble-type noise, and the listener response is the final word in the sentence (the key word) which is always a monosyllabic noun. Two types of sentences are used: high-p…

  • Crosslanguage Study of Vowel Perception

    Open AccessK N Stevens, Κ Ν Stevens et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech1969Cited by: 19References: 14

The unrounded vowels are phonemic in both languages, whereas the rounded vowels are phonemic only in Swedish. A subsidiary aim of the study is to compare the perception of the synthetic vowels with that of synthetic consonant-vowel syllables in which the consonants are stops arranged along a conti…
