Lexical effects on compensation for coarticulation: a tale of two systems?

چکیده
We reply to McQueen’s commentary by comparing the parsimony of his account of relevant data and the computational model he favors with the explanation and model we favor. His account requires multiple independent explanations and mechanisms. Ours requires one: lexical feedback. © 2003 Cognitive Science Society, Inc. All rights reserved.

No lexical–prelexical feedback during speech perception or: Is it time to stop playing those Christmas tapes?
The strongest support for feedback in speech perception comes from evidence of apparent lexical influence on prelexical fricative-stop compensation for coarticulation. Lexical knowledge (e.g., that the ambiguous final fricative of Christma? should be [s]) apparently influences perception of following stops. We argue that all such previous demonstrations can be explained without invoking lexical...
متن کاملLexical activation (and other factors) can mediate compensation for coarticulation
A key dispute in theories of spoken word recognition is whether activation of a lexical representation can affect the perception of sublexical components, such as phonemes. Elman and McClelland (1988) provided evidence for such top– down processing by showing that a prelexical process (compensation for coarticulation) could be affected by lexical activation. However, Pitt and McQueen (1998) rep...
متن کاملCompensation for coarticulation of fricative-stop clusters as mediated by lexical and temporal effects
Previous work on compensation for coarticulation by Mann and Repp (1981) on alveolar-velar ambiguous stops has indicated that preceding [s] is linked to more velar percepts while preceding [S] is linked to more alveolar percepts. In addition, syllabification has been found to have no effect on listeners' response, while temporal separation between the fricative and the stop produces significant...
متن کاملTop-down effects on compensation for coarticulation are not replicable
Listeners use lexical knowledge to judge what speech sounds they heard. I investigated whether such lexical influences are truly top-down or just reflect a merging of perceptual and lexical constraints. This is achieved by testing whether the lexically determined identity of a phone exerts the appropriate context effects on surrounding phones. The current investigations focuses on compensation ...
متن کاملRetroflex versus bunched [r] in compensation for coarticulation
This paper presents data from two experiments that are problematic for the auditory spectral contrast theory of compensation for coarticulation, but are perfectly compatible with the gesture recovery theory. The experiments compare compensation for coarticulation effects in the perception of a [dɑ]-[ɡɑ] continuum produced by retroflex [r] context, versus the lack of an effect for a bunched [r] ...
