Acoustic Characteristics of Japanese Vowels
The purpose of this study was to build a large database on Japanese vowels and to clarify their acoustic characteristics. Recordings were made of 256 males and 252 females aged from 6 to 76 years old, for both Kanto (Tokyo) and Kansai (Osaka) dialects, producing the vowels /i, e, a, o, u/ in isolation, in /h-Vda/ syllables and in /b-V-ta/ syllables within and without a carrier sentence. The fiv...
متن کاملEpenthetic Vowels in Japanese: a Perceptual Illusion?
In four cross-linguistic experiments comparing French and Japanese hearers, we found that the phonotactic properties of Japanese (very reduced set of syllable types) induce Japanese listeners to perceive “illusory” vowels inside consonant clusters in VCCV stimuli. In Experiments 1 and 2, we used a continuum of stimuli ranging from no vowel (e.g. ebzo) to a full vowel between the consonants (e.g...
متن کاملDevoicing of Japanese vowels by taiwanese learners of Japanese
Of the Taiwanese participants, only one showed any significant speech rate effect (t = 1.88, p < .05 for the first vowel of the tokens; t =2.29, p < .025 for both vowels combined). One other showed no speech rate effects whatsoever, instead inconsistently devoicing some tokens, while the third did not devoice any vowels within the tokens, instead only devoicing a small number of sentence-final ...
متن کاملEffect of Multi-lingualism on the Perception of Short and Long Vowels in Arabic and Japanese
This study compared cross-language speech perception of vowel length contrasts in Arabic and Japanese by two groups of listeners whose first language (L1) was either Cantonese (C) or Korean (K). Unlike Arabic or Japanese, C and K do not use vowel length contrastively. One group (CK+J) had experience learning Japanese as a foreign language while the other (CK) did not. The question of interest w...
متن کاملThe perception of morae in long vowels comparison among Japanese, Korean and English speakers
There are three kinds of Tokushuhaku (the specific timing morae) in the Japanese language such as the moraic nasal, the non-nasal consonant and the long vowel. Even though Japanese native speakers can perceive them perfectly, it is difficult for Japanese learners from abroad to perceive and produce them. To make it more efficient for Japanese learners to acquire them, we need to investigate how...
