Homophone duration in spontaneous speech: A mixed-effects model
A recent analysis of a corpus of spontaneous speech (Gahl, 2008) showed that homophone pairs differed in duration as a function of word frequency. For example, the high-frequency word time was shorter on average than its less-frequent homophone twin thyme. This effect persisted when other factors affecting word duration were statistically controlled for in a linear regression model. However, th...
متن کاملSegment deletion in spontaneous speech: a corpus study using mixed effects models with crossed random effects
We studied the frequencies of phone and syllable deletions in spontaneous Dutch, and the extent to which such deletions are influenced by the various linguistic and sociolinguistic factors represented in the transcriptions, word segmentations and metadata of the Spoken Dutch Corpus. In addition to providing insight into the frequencies of phone and syllable deletions and the factors influencing...
متن کاملHomophone effects in lexical decision.
The role of phonology in word recognition was investigated in 6 lexical-decision experiments involving homophones (e.g., MAID-MADE). The authors' goal was to determine whether homophone effects arise in the lexical-decision task and, if so, in what situations they arise, with a specific focus on the question of whether the presence of pseudohomophone foils (e.g., BRANE) causes homophone effects...
متن کاملPredicting vowel duration in spontaneous canadian French speech
This study examines variables influencing vowel duration of French spoken in Windsor, Ontario, in order to see whether their respective effects on vowel duration are organised hierarchically. We first consider the data distribution of four female speakers before carrying out a statistical principal components analysis. Our results show that the variables are classified into three underlying fac...
متن کاملA Hybrid Model for Spontaneous Speech Understanding
This paper presents a hybrid model to understand spontaneous speech by combination of speech connotation and denotation analyses. The testbed of the approach is an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) collected by Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) simulations. The children users are inexperienced and their utterances are often dysfluent and have loose grammar structure. To robustly understand spontaneous speech ...
