Lexical Competition in Nonnative Speech Comprehension
Electrophysiological studies consistently find N400 effects of semantic incongruity in nonnative (L2) language comprehension. These N400 effects are often delayed compared with native (L1) comprehension, suggesting that semantic integration in one's second language occurs later than in one's first language. In this study, we investigated whether such a delay could be attributed to (1) intraling...
متن کاملReal-time lexical competitions during speech-in-speech comprehension
This study investigates speech comprehension in competing multi-talker babble. We examined the effects of number of simultaneous talkers and of frequency of words in the babble on lexical decision to target words. Results revealed better performance at a low talker number (n = 2). Importantly, frequency of words in the babble significantly affected performance: high frequency word babble interf...
متن کاملLexical Competition and Reduction in Speech: A Preliminary Report1
Lindblom (1990) among others has proposed that talkers accommodate listeners’ communicative needs by controlling the degree of reduction (hyperand hypoarticulation) in different contextual conditions, thereby maintaining sufficient intelligibility of words across a variety of contexts. Lindblom’s proposal predicts that lexical factors that affect intelligibility of a word will affect the hypoan...
متن کاملPhonetic and lexical interferences in informational masking during speech-in-speech comprehension
This study investigates masking effects occurring during speech comprehension in the presence of concurrent speech signals. We examined the differential effects of acoustic–phonetic and lexical content of 4to 8-talker babble (natural speech) or babble-like noise (reversed speech) on word identification. Behavioral results show a monotonic decrease in speech comprehension rates with an increasin...
متن کاملLexical ambiguity in sentence comprehension.
An event-related fMRI paradigm was used to investigate brain activity during the reading of sentences containing either a lexically ambiguous word or an unambiguous control word. Higher levels of activation occurred during the reading of sentences containing a lexical ambiguity. Furthermore, the activated cortical network differed, depending on: (1) whether the sentence contained a balanced (i....
