This study investigated how Japanese-speaking learners of English pronounce the three point vowels /i/, /u/, and /ɑ/ appearing in the first and second monosyllabic words of noun phrases, and the schwa /ə/ appearing in disyllabic words. First and second formant (F1 and F2) values were measured for four Japanese speakers and two American English speakers. The hypothesis that the area encompassed ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose was to establish the test-retest reliability of word recognition score (WRS) using Korean standard monosyllabic word lists for adults (KS-MWL-A) recently developed based on the international standard for speech audiometry (ISO 8253-3:2012). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Subjects consisted of 159 adults aged to 18 to 25 years with normal hearing sensitivity. WRSs w...

The effects of age and hearing loss on recognition of unaccented and accented words of varying syllable length were investigated. It was hypothesized that with increments in length of syllables, there would be atypical alterations in syllable stress in accented compared to native English, and that these altered stress patterns would be sensitive to auditory temporal processing deficits with agi...

Phonological Typicality (PT) is a measure of the extent to which a word’s phonology is typical of other words in the lexical category to which it belongs. There is a general coherence among words from the same category in terms of speech sounds, and we have found that words that are phonologically typical of their category tend to be processed more quickly and accurately than words that are les...

Inspired by experimental psychological findings suggesting that function words play a special role in word learning, we make a simple modification to an Adaptor Grammar based Bayesian word segmentation model to allow it to learn sequences of monosyllabic “function words” at the beginnings and endings of collocations of (possibly multi-syllabic) words. This modification improves unsupervised wor...

The polysyllabic shortening hypothesis holds that the duration of a primary stressed syllable is inversely proportional to the number of additional syllables within the word. We examine the evidence for this process in British English speech by measuring the duration of primary stressed syllables in monosyllabic, disyllabic and trisyllabic words, both right-headed series – e.g. mend, commend, r...

The present study examined the performance of pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users on easy (high frequency words from low density neighborhoods) and hard (low frequency words from high density neighborhoods) words on the monosyllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (LNT) and Multi-syllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (MLNT). The easy—hard effect (the superior performance on easy words compared to hard...

Networks that learn to make familiar activity patterns into stable attractors have proven useful in accounting for many aspects of normal and impaired cognition. However, their ability to generalize is questionable, particularly in quasiregular tasks that involve both regularities and exceptions, such as word reading. We trained an attractor network to pronounce virtually all of a large corpus ...

Bilinguals derive the same semantic concepts from equivalent, but acoustically different, words in their first and second languages. The neural mechanisms underlying the representation of language-independent concepts in the brain remain unclear. Here, we measured fMRI in human bilingual listeners and reveal that response patterns to individual spoken nouns in one language (e.g., "horse" in Eng...

The ability to extract word-forms from sentential contexts represents an initial step in infants' process toward lexical acquisition. By age 6 months the ability is just emerging and evidence of it is restricted to certain testing conditions. Most research has been developed with infants acquiring stress-timed languages (English, but also German and Dutch) whose rhythmic unit is not the syllabl...
