Its goal is not only to gain insight into what speakers do, but also into how listeners' perception and interpretation of incoming speech in different languages is affected by the distribution of accents. To this end, use is made of a particular experimental paradigm, which makes it possible to compare accent patterns in different languages from an acoustic, perceptual and functional point of view. Accent patterns were obtained via a simple dialogue game played by eight Dutch speakers and eight Italian ones. In this way, target descriptions of all speakers were obtained in the following four contexts: all new, single contrast in the adjective, single contrast in the noun, and double contrast. The accent patterns in these Dutch and Italian utterances were then compared in three different studies. Study 1 looks at accent distribution and finds that, in Dutch, new and contrastive information are accented, while given information is not; in Italian, distribution is not a significant factor in distinguishing information status, since within the elicited NPs both adjective and noun are always accented, irrespective of the status of the discourse context. Study 2 consists of prominence tests to investigate whether the accents differ in the degree of perceived emphasis. In Dutch, information status is reflected in these prominence differences: single contrastive accents are perceived to be the most emphatic, and given words the least emphatic. In Italian, it is less clear how gradient differences between accents can be linked to aspects of the discourse context. Study 3 presents a functional analysis of accent patterns exploring whether listeners are able to reconstruct a preceding utterance on the basis of prosodic properties of the current utterance. While this is possible for Dutch listeners, this is not at all the case for Italian listeners.","PeriodicalId":223246,"journal":{"name":"J.

An acoustic study of Shona and English CV′CVCV trisyllables (Experiment 1) showed that the two languages differ in the carryover vs. anticipatory influences of stressed and unstressed vowels on each other. In 4IAX discrimination tests in which both Shona and English coarticulatory effects were spliced into different coarticulatory contexts (Experiment 2), Shona and English listeners perceptually compensated more (i.e., attributed more of a vowel's acoustic properties to its coarticulatory context in targeted test trials) for effects that were consistent with their linguistic experience. Similarly, when these listeners identified synthetic target vowels embedded into different vowel contexts (Experiment 3), Shona listeners compensated more (i.e., showed larger category boundary shifts) for the vowel contexts that triggered larger acoustic influences in the production study. English listeners' boundary shifts were more complicated but, when these data were combined with those from a follow-up identification study, they showed the perceptual shifts expected on the basis of the English coarticulatory findings. Overall, the relation between the production and perception data suggests that listeners are attuned to native-language coarticulatory patterns.","PeriodicalId":223246,"journal":{"name":"J.

In this paper, comparisons are made of lingual constriction location estimates for high vowel continua, based on EMA and EPG data simultaneously recorded for one speaker. These data pertain to an experiment which correlated articulatory estimates of constriction location with formant measurements for comparison with Fant’s (1970) model-based nomograms. A circle model was used to estimate the constriction location from two dorsally located EMA sensors. The center of the constriction was deemed to be where the circle was closest to the roof of the mouth. Those estimates are compared to three types of EPG-based estimates of lingual constriction. The first is the row of narrowest constriction in a scaled vertical view of the EPG palate. The second is a “center of gravity” estimate. The third is an approximate side view of the tongue contour, drawn on the basis of the innermost activated electrode on each EPG row. Results suggest a broad agreement as well as consistent discrepancies between EMA and each EPG estimate. Likely reasons for discrepancies are discussed, and it is suggested that some of these may offer new insights into three-dimensional aspects of articulation that might be exploited in research.","PeriodicalId":223246,"journal":{"name":"J.
