Speaking rate from proximal and distal contexts is used during word segmentation.
A series of eye-tracking and categorization experiments investigated the use of speaking-rate information in the segmentation of Dutch ambiguous-word sequences. Juncture phonemes with ambiguous durations (e.g., [s] in 'eens (s)peer,' "once (s)pear," [t] in 'nooit (t)rap,' "never staircase/quick") were perceived as longer and hence more often as word-initial when following a fast than a slow con...
متن کاملPotent prosody: Comparing the effects of distal prosody, proximal prosody, and semantic context on word segmentation
Recent work shows that word segmentation is influenced by distal prosodic characteristics of the input several syllables from the segmentation point (Dilley & McAuley, 2008). Here, participants heard eight-syllable sequences with a lexically ambiguous four-syllable ending (e.g., crisis turnip vs. cry sister nip). The prosodic characteristics of the initial five syllables were resynthesized in a...

متن کاملEffects of Speaking Rate and Word Frequency on Conversational Pronunciations
The possible set of pronunciations in continuous speech corpora change dynamically with many factors. Two variables , speaking rate and word predictability, seemed to be promising candidates for integration into dynamic ASR pronunciation models; however, our initial eeorts to incorporate these factors into phone-level decision tree models met with limited success. In this paper, we connrm the i...
