Processing Dependencies between Suprasegmental and Segmental Information: Effects of Emotion and Lexical Tone on Interference

Processing dependencies in speech have traditionally been studied using a speeded classification paradigm. In this procedure, listeners have to monitor one dimension of speech (e.g. segmental detail) while another dimension (e.g. suprasegmental detail) varies. Variation in the unattended dimension has been shown to interfere with responses to the attended dimension. In the present study, the sp...

Sound pressure level generated by individual portable sound equipment.

INTRODUCTION The use of Personal Digital Audio Players can cause hearing injuries, as the sound is generated directly in the ear canal. It is believed that different types of headphones can cause different amplifications, since they cause changes in the volume and resonance of the ear canal according to their depth. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the sound pressure to which young ind...

Segmental and suprasegmental contributions to spoken-word recognition in dutch

Words can be distinguished by segmental differences or by suprasegmental differences or both. Studies from English suggest that suprasegmentals play little role in human spoken-word recognition; English stress, however, is nearly always unambiguously coded in segmental structure (vowel quality); this relationship is less close in Dutch. The present study directly compared the effects of segment...
