Asymmetries in vowel perception
Asymmetries in vowel perception occur such that discrimination of a vowel change presented in one direction is easier compared to the same change presented in the reverse direction. Although such effects have been repeatedly reported in the literature there has been little effort to explain when or why they occur. We review studies that report asymmetries in vowel perception in infants and prop...
متن کاملAdaptive Dispersion in Vowel Perception
The 'hyperspace effect' in vowel perception may be taken as evidence that adaptive dispersion is an active perceptual process. However, a previous study tested for adaptive dispersion in isolated vowel stimuli spoken in a voice unfamiliar to the listeners. The experiment reported in this paper addressed both of these potential concerns and found that both consonant context and talker familiarit...
متن کاملVowel Perception with Virtual Formants
This study examines the potential role of the auditory spectral integration in phonetic vowel quality decisions. Synthetic stimuli included a “virtual formant (F2)” which was produced by inserting two pairs of sine waves below and above a “perceptual target frequency” (the spectral center-of-gravity, COG). Intensity weighting across the pairs of sine waves created a virtual F2, i.e., an F2 perc...
متن کاملThe Influence of Regional Vowel Shifts on Front Vowel Perception
The mid-front classes are realized quite variably across the major U.S. dialects, with Southerners showing widespread Southern Vowel Shift related /e/ centralization and Northern Cities Shift affected Northerners showing widespread backing/lowering of /ɛ/. Though still affected by regional shift patterns, compared to a highly differentiated mid-front vowel system, there is more variability with...
متن کاملVowel Length Perception in Cantonese
This paper reports the acoustic experiment and perception test on a pair of Cantonese long and short vowels /a/ and /ɐ/ in the diphthong context. The acoustic data show that [aːi] and [ɐi] have similar targets of vowel nucleus and coda, parallel transition glide, and comparable total duration. They are different in their durational structure: [aːi] has a long steady phrase of vowel nucleus whi...
