Comparing Prosodic Timing Effects in Hadari and Bedouin Dialects of Kuwaiti Arabic
We examined differences in speech timing between the Hadari and Bedouin Kuwaiti Arabic dialects using speech cycling. In our version of the paradigm, speakers repeated six-syllable phrases, with the start of each repetition aligned in time with a metronome beat. Previous speech cycling work finds that stressed vowel onsets tend to occur at harmonic phases (e.g., 1/2) within the Phrase Repetition Cycle (PRC), potentially reflecting coordination be…
The irrepressible influence of vocal stereotypes on trust
There is a reciprocal relationship between trust and vocal communication in human interactions. On one hand, a predisposition towards trust is necessary for communication to be meaningful and effective. On the other hand, we use vocal cues to signal our own trustworthiness and to infer it from the speech of others. Research on trustworthiness attributions to vocal characteristics is scarce and contradictory, however, being typically based on expl…
Speech Rate and Turn-Transition Pause Duration in Dutch and English Spontaneous Question-Answer Sequences
The duration of inter-speaker pauses is a pragmatically salient aspect of conversation that is affected by linguistic and non-linguistic context. Theories of conversational turn-taking imply that, due to listener entrainment to the flow of syllables, a higher speech rate will be associated with shorter turn-transition times (TTT). Previous studies have found conflicting evidence, however, some of which may be due to methodological differences. In…
Speech Rhythm and Timing
Speech events do not typically exhibit the temporal regularity conspicuous in many musical rhythms. In the absence of such surface periodicity, hierarchical approaches to speech timing propose that nested prosodic domains, such as syllables and stress-delimited feet, can be modelled as coupled oscillators and that surface timing patterns reflect variation in the relative weights of oscillators. Localized approaches argue, by contrast, that speech…

Are initial-consonant lengthening and final-vowel lengthening both universal word segmentation cues
Utterance-Final Lengthening Is Predictive of Infants' Discrimination of English Accents
Infants in their first year manifest selective patterns of discrimination between languages and between accents of the same language. Prosodic differences are held to be important in whether languages can be discriminated, together with the infant's familiarity with one or both of the accents heard. However, the nature of the prosodic cues that actually facilitate infant discrimination has not been directly examined. We analyzed the accent discri…

Calibrating rhythm
Integration of Multiple Speech Segmentation Cues
A central question in psycholinguistic research is how listeners isolate words from connected speech despite the paucity of clear word-boundary cues in the signal. A large body of empirical evidence indicates that word segmentation is promoted by both lexical (knowledge-derived) and sublexical (signal-derived) cues. However, an account of how these cues operate in combination or in conflict is lacking. The present study fills this gap by assessin…
