Recognition of accented and unaccented speech in different maskers by younger and older listeners.
This investigation examined the effect of accent of target talkers and background speech maskers on listeners' ability to use cues to separate speech from noise. Differences in accent may create a disparity in the relative timing between signal and background, and such timing cues may be used to separate the target talker from the background speech masker. However, the use of this cue could be ...
متن کاملEffects of age and hearing loss on recognition of unaccented and accented multisyllabic words.
The effects of age and hearing loss on recognition of unaccented and accented words of varying syllable length were investigated. It was hypothesized that with increments in length of syllables, there would be atypical alterations in syllable stress in accented compared to native English, and that these altered stress patterns would be sensitive to auditory temporal processing deficits with agi...
متن کاملCross-linguistic differences between accented vs unaccented vowel durations

Results show clear crosslanguage differences: accented vowels in our data of British English are more marked in terms of duration than in data of Mexican Spanish and Parisian French (data of German and Italian take a somewhat intermedi...
متن کاملThe recognition of Japanese-accented and unaccented English words by Japanese listeners
This study investigated whether Japanese listeners learning English employ two types of lexical information (word frequency and neighborhood density) when they recognize English words. English words recorded by a native speaker of English and a native speaker of Japanese were presented to Japanese university students in a noise condition. The results of word recognition scores showed that Japan...
متن کاملOn the accented/unaccented distinction in Western Basque and the typology of accentual systems

Stress-accent languages, such as English, convey accentual prominence by a combination of phonetic cues, including pitch, intensity and duration. Non-stress-accent languages, on the other hand, use only pitch as a correlate of accent. Tokyo Japanese is an example of the...
