Consonants and vowels: different roles in early language acquisition.
Language acquisition involves both acquiring a set of words (i.e. the lexicon) and learning the rules that combine them to form sentences (i.e. syntax). Here, we show that consonants are mainly involved in word processing, whereas vowels are favored for extracting and generalizing structural relations. We demonstrate that such a division of labor between consonants and vowels plays a role in la...
متن کاملTopics and Spoken Language Recognition
This paper concerns the use of discourse information in spoken dialogue systems, and argues that knowledge of the domain, modelled with the help of topic trees, is important in improving the recognition accuracy of spoken utterances. The use of discourse information in spoken language systems is usually motivated by arguments concerning the system's robustness: (1) support for speech recognitio...
متن کاملDecoding vowels and consonants in spoken and imagined words using electrocorticographic signals in humans.
Several stories in the popular media have speculated that it may be possible to infer from the brain which word a person is speaking or even thinking. While recent studies have demonstrated that brain signals can give detailed information about actual and imagined actions, such as different types of limb movements or spoken words, concrete experimental evidence for the possibility to 'read the ...
متن کاملSpoken Language Recognition and Understanding
The goal of this research is to demonstrate spoken language systems in support of interactive problem solving. The system accepts continuous speech input and handles multiple speakers without explicit speaker enrollment. The MIT spoken language system combines SUMMIT, a segment-based speech recognition system, and TINA, a probabilistic natural language system, to achieve speech understanding. T...
متن کاملMissing information in spoken word recognition: nonreleased stop consonants.
Cross-modal semantic priming and phoneme monitoring experiments investigated processing of word-final nonreleased stop consonants (e.g., kit may be pronounced /kit/ or /ki/), which are common phonological variants in American English. Both voiced /d/ and voiceless /t/ segments were presented in release and no-release versions. A cross-modal semantic priming task (Experiment 1) showed comparable...
