Going with TRACE beyond Infant Mispronunciation Studies: Lexical Networks and Phoneme Competition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The TRACE model of speech perception (McClelland & Elman, 1986) is used to simulate graded sensitivity to mispronunciations of familiar words as reported by White and Morgan (2008). Our simulations predict that phoneme or lexical competition may be absent in the mental lexicons of the 19month-old infants tested experimentally.

At the word level. the model captures Ihe ma.ior positive feature of Marslen-Wilson COHORT model of speech perception. in that it shows immediate sensitivity to information favoring one word or set of words over others. At the same time, it overcomes a difficulty with the COHORT model: it...
متن کاملComputational and behavioral investigations of lexically induced delays in phoneme recognition
Previous studies have failed to demonstrate lexically induced delays in phoneme recognition, casting doubt on interactive models of speech perception. We present TRACE simulations that explain these failures: previously tested conditions failed to produce lexically induced delay effects because the input was too unambiguous and the control condition was conflated with lexical status and neighbo...
متن کاملHow Lexical Stress Affects Speech Segmentation and Interactivity: Evidence from the Migration Paradigm
Current models of word recognition differ on the potential influence of lexical knowledge on sublexical processes. The present study addresses this issue through a paradigm based on the perceptual ‘‘migration’’ of linguistic units between two stimuli presented simultaneously, resulting in an illusory percept. For example, ‘‘kinrtrorverrsy’’ and ‘‘bosrglorrarfe’’ were played at the same time, wi...
متن کاملOn Mispronunciation Lexicon Generation Using Joint-Sequence Multigrams in Computer-Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT)
We investigate the use of joint-sequence multigrams to generate L2 mispronunciation lexicons for mispronunciation detection and diagnosis. In the joint-sequence framework, a pair of parallel strings (namely, the input string of either graphemes or phonemes of the canonical pronunciation and the phonetic string of the mispronunciation) are aligned to form joint units for probabilistic estimation...
متن کاملSpoken word recognition without a TRACE
How do we map the rapid input of spoken language onto phonological and lexical representations over time? Attempts at psychologically-tractable computational models of spoken word recognition tend either to ignore time or to transform the temporal input into a spatial representation. TRACE, a connectionist model with broad and deep coverage of speech perception and spoken word recognition pheno...
