Perceiving asynchronous bimodal speech in consonant-vowel and vowel syllables
Subjects naturally integrate auditory and visual information in bimodal speech perception. To assess the robustness of the integration process, the relative onset time of the audible and visible sources was systematically varied. In the first experiment, bimodal syllables composed of the auditory and visible sy l l ab le s /ba / a n d / d a / w e r e present at five different onset asynchronies...
متن کاملModeling the durational difference of stressed vs. unstressed syllables
Speech production exhibits temporal coherence among speech gestures, and also systematic modulation of durational patterns as a function of the hierarchical level of prosodic structure, e.g., the foot. Intergestural coherence has been understood with reference to dynamic coupling within an ensemble of planning oscillators, and a coupled oscillator model of intergestural timing has been employed...
متن کاملGestural Alignment Constraints and Unstressed Vowel Devoicing in Andean Spanish
This paper applies the gestural alignment constraint schema proposed by Gafos (2002) to unstressed vowel devoicing in Andean Spanish. I will argue that this approach successfully addresses several characteristics identified in novel data from Cusco, Peru that depart from cross-linguistic trends in vowel devoicing and cannot be readily explained in terms of more traditional Articulatory Phonolog...
متن کاملPerception of concurrent approximant-vowel syllables
Some experiments are described which explore the perception of the glides /w/ and /j/ spoken simultaneously. These cannot be spoken in isolation, like vowel sounds, but must be combined with vowels to form syllables. In previous experiments /w/ and /j/ were combined with the vowels /i/ and /a/ to form the four syllables /wi/, /wa, /ji/ and /ja/. It was found that if both the vowels and their pi...
متن کاملThe Bulgarian Stressed and Unstressed Vowel System. A Corpus Study
The reduction of the six Bulgarian vowels (i, ɛ, a, ɜ, ɔ, u) to a fouror (in some dialects) three-vowel subsystem (i, (ɜ), ɜ, u) in unstressed syllables is generally accepted. But a number of studies disagree on the exact nature of the reduction process. Claims differ as to whether or not /a/ merges phonetically with /ɜ/, and /ɔ/ with /u/, or whether the assumed neutralized oppositions take a p...
