Rhythm and Region: Scaling the Perceptual Dimensions of Korean
نویسنده
چکیده
After 10 minutes of exposure to a spoken sample, listeners rated the similarity of Korean to rhythmically similar languages (Experiment 1) or to languages from the same geographical area (Experiment 2). Listener ratings were submitted to MDS analysis receiving two-dimensional solutions. When listeners were comparing Korean to rhythmically similar languages, the dimensions of the derived stimulus configuration could be interpreted as 'geographic area' and 'syllable type variety'. When listeners were comparing Korean to other languages from South East Asia, the derived stimulus configuration showed sensitivity to speaker affect, prosodic pattern and segment inventory.

Attention-to-dimension (A2D) models of perceptual learning assume that the dimensions that structure listeners' perceptual space are constant and that learning involves only the reweighting of existing dimensions to emphasize or de-e...
متن کاملPerceptual tests of rhythmic similarity: II. Syllable rhythm.
To segment continuous speech into its component words, listeners make use of language rhythm; because rhythm differs across languages, so do the segmentation procedures which listeners use. For each of stress-, syllable- and mora-based rhythmic structure, perceptual experiments have led to the discovery of corresponding segmentation procedures. In the case of mora-based rhythm, similar segmenta...

متن کاملLanguage, Music, and Brain
Introduction: Over the last centuries, scientists have been trying to figure out how the brain is learning the language. By 1980, the study of brain-language relationships was based on the study of human brain damage. But since 1980, neuroscience methods have greatly improved. There is controversy about where music, composition, or the perception of language and music are in the brain, or wheth...
