Vowel Duration and Spectra as Perceptual Cues to Vowel Quantity: a Comparison of Japanese and Swedish
A distinction in vowel quantity is typically realized acoustically by vowel duration. Research on the perception of Swedish vowel quantity supports this and further suggests that when the duration of a vowel is relatively long (due, e.g., to inherent duration), vowel quantity may not be adequately cued by duration alone and may also make use of the vowel spectra to distinguish vowel quantities....
متن کاملDuration and F0 as perceptual cues to Japanese vowel quantity
Vowel duration and local fundamental frequency changes are investigated as acoustical cues to vowel quantity identification by Japanese listeners. To examine the role of these factors, a perception experiment was carried out. The results indicate that, even though vowel duration serves as a dominant perceptual cue, when vowel quantity cannot be adequately cued by vowel duration alone, the F0 in...
متن کاملCatalan vowel duration
The temporal organization of discourse has produced a great deal of works in several languages pointing to different aims: from studies where the identification of cues about the planning of linguistic message is treated to studies in which duration models for text-to-speech systems are proposed. This work is a first step towards the description of Catalan vowel duration. Considering the Catala...
متن کاملSegment Duration and Vowel Quality in German Lexical Stress Perception
A perception experiment based on systematic variation of disyllabic vowel duration and vowel quality, and of intervocalic fricative duration in the German minimal lexical stress pair 'Kaffee “coffee” vs. Ca'fé (locality) in a low f0 tail or a high f0 plateau shows highly significant effects of the 3 variables as cues to lexical stress. The combined vowel quality and fricative variables outweigh...
متن کاملVariability in perceived duration: pitch dynamics and vowel quality
Why are some sound patterns more commonly attested than others? This paper explores the hypothesis that DIFFERENTIAL PHONOLOGIZATION–when one phonetic precursor gives rise to a new phonological pattern more readily than another even when both sets of phonetic precursors may give rise to sound patterns–might arise as a result of variability in how the perceptual system copes with variation in th...
