The clear speech effect for non-native listeners.
Previous work has established that naturally produced clear speech is more intelligible than conversational speech for adult hearing-impaired listeners and normal-hearing listeners under degraded listening conditions. The major goal of the present study was to investigate the extent to which naturally produced clear speech is an effective intelligibility enhancement strategy for non-native list...
متن کاملPerception of English minimal pairs in noise by Japanese listeners: does clear speech for L2 listeners help?
This study investigates the effect of different types of clear speech on cross-linguistic perception. In particular, it examines whether the words produced to help L2 interlocutors are perceived more easily by them than the words produced for L1 interlocutors to counteract speech babble noise. English keywords in these conditions are extracted from the LUCID corpus, and they are presented to Ja...
متن کاملClear Speech - Mere Speech? How Segmental and Prosodic Speech Reduction Shape the Impression That Speakers Create on Listeners
Research on speech reduction is primarily concerned with analyzing, modeling, explaining, and, ultimately, predicting phonetic variation. That is, the focus is on the speech signal itself. The present paper adds a little side note to this fundamental line of research by addressing the question whether variation in the degree of reduction also has a systematic effect on the attributes we ascribe...
متن کاملAn algorithm that improves speech intelligibility in noise for normal-hearing listeners.
Traditional noise-suppression algorithms have been shown to improve speech quality, but not speech intelligibility. Motivated by prior intelligibility studies of speech synthesized using the ideal binary mask, an algorithm is proposed that decomposes the input signal into time-frequency (T-F) units and makes binary decisions, based on a Bayesian classifier, as to whether each T-F unit is domina...
متن کاملDo Listeners Learn Better from Natural Speech?
Perceptual learning of novel pronunciations is a seemingly robust and efficient process for adapting to unfamiliar speech patterns. In this study we compare perceptual learning of /s/ words where a medially occurring /s/ is substituted with /S/, rendering, for example, castle as /kæSl/ instead of /kæsl/. Exposure to the novel pronunciations is presented in the guise of a lexical decision task. ...
