Running head: INTERMEDIATE PRODUCTIONS AND LISTENER EXPECTATIONS 1 The Role of Intermediate Productions and Listener Expectations on the Perception of Children's Speech
Purpose: This paper examined whether naïve listeners could perceive phonetic detail in children's productions of /s/ and /T/, and whether their perception of /s/ and /θ/ could be biased by their belief about the child's overall speech-production ability. Method: In Experiment 1, listeners provided judgments of children's productions of /s/ and /T/ using a visual analog scale (VAS). In Experimen...
متن کاملDevelopment of Language-specific Influences on Speech Perception and Production in Pre-verbal Infancy
Adults have difficulty discriminating non-native speech contrasts, yet young infants discriminate both native and nonnative contrasts. Language-specific influences appear by 9-10 months for consonants and phonotactic sequences, and by 6 months for vowels. Early experience is still influential in adulthood, when fluent early bilinguals still show L1 rather than L2 effects on consonant discrimina...

This article discusses four types of phonological knowledge: knowledge the acoustic and perceptual characteristics of speech sounds (perceptual knowledge), knowledge of the articulatory characteristics of speech sounds (articulatory knowledge), higher-level knowledge of the ways that words can be divided into sounds, and sounds can be combined into meaningful sequences in words (higher-level ph...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملImproved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.
BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...
