Perceiving unstressed vowels in foreign-accented English.
This paper investigated how foreign-accented stress cues affect on-line speech comprehension in British speakers of English. While unstressed English vowels are usually reduced to /ə/, Dutch speakers of English only slightly centralize them. Speakers of both languages differentiate stress by suprasegmentals (duration and intensity). In a cross-modal priming experiment, English listeners heard s...
متن کاملFlat 2D Tori with Sparse Spectra
We identify a class of 2D flat tori Tω, quotients of the plane by certain lattices, on which the Laplace operator has spectrum contained in the set of integers Z, as a sparse subset, i.e., a subset of density 0.
متن کاملLength Spectra and Degeneration of Flat Metrics
In this paper we consider flat metrics (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. There are two main results. The first is a complete description of when a set of simple closed curves is spectrally rigid, that is, when the length vector determines a metric among the class of flat metrics. Secondly, we give an embedding into the space of geodesic currents and use this to get a bou...
متن کاملPerceiving shape from shading.
Our visual experience of the world is based on two-dimensional images: nat patterns of varying light intensity and color faIling on a single plane of cells in the retina. Yet we come to perceive solidity and depth. We can do this because a number of cues about depth are available in the retinal image: shading, perspective, occlusion of one object by another and stereoscopic disparity. In some m...
متن کاملPerceiving Vowels and Tones in Mandarin: The Effect of Literary Phonetic Systems on Phonological Awareness
A tone-vowel monitoring task similar to Ye and Connine’s (1999) experiment was conducted in Taiwan to examine how literary phonetic systems affect people’s perception of vowels, and then the relative temporal availability of vowel and tonal information. The results demonstrated that although participants were sensitive to the acoustic nature of monosyllablic stimuli, they mainly resorted to the...
