Segmental and Suprasegmental Mismatch in Lexical Access☆☆☆

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...

Phonetic Characterisation and Lexical Access in Non-segmental Speech Recognition

An isolated-word speech recognition system, built without the use of linear segments for acoustic modelling or lexical access, is justified, described and demonstrated. The system comprises phonetic feature analysis operating on four independent tiers, parallel phonotactic parsing, and lexical access based on a neural-network inspired lexicon structure. Performance is however still inferior to ...

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...
