Individual differences and development of speech act production
This study examined the effects of individual difference (ID) factors on changing pragmatic abilities among L2 learners of English. Participants were 48 Japanese EFL students in an English-medium university in Japan. They completed a pragmatic speaking test (k=12) that assessed their ability to produce two speech acts: requests and opinions, in hi...
متن کاملInfant-Directed Speech Facilitates Word Segmentation
There are reasons to believe that infant-directed (ID) speech may make language acquisition easier for infants. However, the effects of ID speech on infants’ learning remain poorly understood. The experiments reported here assess whether ID speech facilitates word segmentation from fluent speech. One group of infants heard a set of nonsense sentences spoken with intonation contours characterist...
متن کاملWord-form familiarity bootstraps infant speech segmentation.
At about 7 months of age, infants listen longer to sentences containing familiar words - but not deviant pronunciations of familiar words (Jusczyk & Aslin, 1995). This finding suggests that infants are able to segment familiar words from fluent speech and that they store words in sufficient phonological detail to recognize deviations from a familiar word. This finding does not examine whether i...
متن کاملAcoustic analysis of lexical tone in Mandarin infant-directed speech.
Using Mandarin Chinese, a "tone language" in which the pitch contours of syllables differentiate words, the authors examined the acoustic modifications of infant-directed speech (IDS) at the syllable level to test 2 hypotheses: (a) the overall increase in pitch and intonation contour that occurs in IDS at the phrase level would not distort lexical pitch at the syllable level and (b) IDS provide...
متن کاملIndividual differences in perception of unfamiliar speech
Substantial individual differences in speech perception emerge under adverse listening conditions, including when perceiving unfamiliar speech. In the present study, individual differences in word recognition for three varieties of unfamiliar speech—Spanish-accented English, Irish-accented English, and dysarthric speech—were investigated. We asked whether the ability to perceive these unfamilia...
