Accent and reference resolution in spoken-language comprehension
The role of accent in reference resolution was investigated by monitoring eye fixations to lexical competitors (e.g., candy and candle) as participants followed prerecorded instructions to move objects above or below fixed geometric shapes using a computer mouse. In Experiment 1, the first utterance instructed participants to move one object above or below a shape (e.g., ‘‘Put the candle/candy ...
متن کاملNeural dissociation in processing noise and accent in spoken language comprehension.
We investigated how two distortions of the speech signal - added background noise and speech in an unfamiliar accent - affect comprehension of speech using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Listeners performed a speeded sentence verification task for speech in quiet in Standard Dutch, in Standard Dutch with added background noise and for speech in an unfamiliar accent of Dutch. The ...
متن کاملThe role of planum temporale in processing accent variation in spoken language comprehension.
A repetition-suppression functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm was used to explore the neuroanatomical substrates of processing two types of acoustic variation-speaker and accent-during spoken sentence comprehension. Recordings were made for two speakers and two accents: Standard Dutch and a novel accent of Dutch. Each speaker produced sentences in both accents. Participants listened t...
متن کاملLanguage identification and accent variation detection in spoken language recordings
We develop a model for identifying languages and accents in audio recordings. Our Hierarchical-Sequential Nodule Model (HSNM) incorporates both short-distance features (which capture simple linguistic distinctions, e.g. phoneme inventories) and longdistance features (which detect long-distance suprasegmental patterns, e.g. tone and prosody) which help a classifier discriminate intelligently amo...
متن کاملSpoken language conversion with accent morphing
Spoken language conversion is the challenge of using synthesis systems to generate utterances in the voice of a speaker but in a language unknown to the speaker. Previous approaches have been based on voice conversion and voice adaptation technologies applied to the output of a foreign language TTS system. This inevitably reduces the quality and intelligibility of the output, since the source s...
