Is there a syllabary containing stored articulatory plans for speech production in English?

چکیده
Three experiments with undergraduate student participants investigated whether high frequency nonword syllables of English and non-existing English syllables showed differential effects on response latency, accuracy, onset and rime duration or spectral measures of coarticulation in syllable naming tasks. Only the coarticulation data provided any support for the hypothesis that speakers store articulatory plans for high frequency syllables.

Multidirectional mappings and the concept of a mental syllabary in a neural model of speech production
As a result from modeling cortical processes of self-organization occuring during speech acquisition, a comprehensive neural model of speech production has been developed by using self-organizing neural networks and feedforward neural networks. This model is capable of generating acoustic speech signals and sensory feedback signals by using a high quality 3-dimensional articulatory-acoustic spe...
متن کاملNeural models of speech production and speech acquisition
Neural models of sensorimotor control of speech production are rare. One current approach is the model given by Guenther (2006 and Guenther et al. 2006). Following the ideas of Guenther a comprehensive neural model of speech production using self-organizing neural networks can be given (Kröger et al. 2006a and 2006b). Both approaches simulate early processes of speech acquisition (babbling and ...

The present study investigated the existence of a Japanese mental syllabary and units stored therein for speech production. Experiment 1 compared naming latencies between high and low initial mora frequencies using CVCVCV nonwords, indicating that nonwords with a high initial mora frequency were named faster than those with a low frequency initial mora. Experiments 2 and 3 clarified the possibi...

This thesis is a combination of empirical and modeling work concerning articulatory-acoustic relationships in speech production. The empirical work investigates the functional relationship between articulatory variability and stability of acoustic cues during American English /r/ production. The analysis of articulatory movements shows that the extent of intra-subject articulatory variability a...
