Humans hearing speech perform spoken word recognition, recognizing what words they are hearing in a speech stream in order to understand the meaning. Phonetics refers to the properties of the speech at a detailed level, particularly below the level of segmental phonemic distinctions. In order to recognize spoken words, listeners have to extract information from the detailed acoustic signal in some way, but theories differ about whether listeners extract phonemes, whole words, or other units, by what mechanism, and they differ on what kinds of information are stored in the lexicon. The process of spoken word recognition can be affected by any number of situations such as the speaker or listener being a non-native of the language or dialect, being a child, having a speech/hearing disability, hearing speech in noise, the speech itself containing variability, or many other situations. Any of these situations can shed light on theoretical questions by giving a fuller picture of how listeners recognize words. This chapter examines what we have learned in these first ∼21 years of the 21st century about how phonetics interacts with spoken word recognition.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phonetics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 101275"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49754243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study a) compares bilinguals’ English perception patterns to those of monolinguals; b) it examines how child-internal (age) and external variables (input quantity and input diversity) predict English and Spanish perceptual performance; and c) it compares bilinguals’ perception patterns across languages. Perception was assessed through a forced-choice minimal-pair identification task in which children heard synthesized audio stimuli that varied systematically along a /p-b/ and /t-d/ Voice Onset Time (VOT) continuum and were asked to match them with one of two pictures for each contrast. The results of Bayesian mixed-effects logistic regression analyses indicate that the bilinguals’ category boundary for English stops was impacted by their experience with Spanish, with more short-lag VOT tokens being perceived as voiceless consistent with Spanish VOT. Age solely predicted English perceptual skills, whereas input quantity was the only moderator of Spanish perceptual performance. Finally, the bilingual children showed separate stop voicing contrasts in each language, although perceptual performance was already more mature in English by preschool age. Implications for theories of bilingual speech learning and the role of sociolinguistic variables are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phonetics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 101276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49727390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A robust ternary quantity contrast of consonants is confirmed for both disyllables and trisyllables. While in the shortest disyllables the contrast is “pure” (i.e., not significantly reinforced by the durations of other segments), in all trisyllables it is enhanced through the durationally inverse (compensatory) effects in other segments. In this, the situation in trisyllables is closer to that attested in other languages with ternary consonantal quantity than the situation in disyllables. The phonological quantity contrast has been lost from the second syllable vowel of trisyllables, and its duration is now inversely related to the first syllable complexity. In the segments preceding this vowel, all compensatory effects are purely phonetic. Shorter segmental durations and stronger compensatory effects in trisyllables than in disyllables indicate tendencies for both polysegmental and polysyllabic shortening. We discuss a potential relation of observed compensatory effects of shortening and lengthening (a “half-long” vowel) to foot isochrony and metrical stress.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phonetics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49756255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study fills this gap by applying a sensorimotor synchronization paradigm to natural speech and studying acoustic landmarks that may serve as perceptual anchors of rhythmic movement in spoken sentences. Five rhythmically relevant types of acoustic landmarks were identified in twenty sentences of English containing syllables with vocalic and non-vocalic nuclei. The landmarks were either manually defined or algorithm-generated and included nucleus onsets, peaks and onsets of inter-syllabic and inter-stress timescales, moments of the fastest energy change (approximating the P-center location), and timepoints of combined pitch and periodic power. Sensorimotor synchronization data from 32 native English participants were examined with regards to the location of an increased synchronization activity in the proximity of the predefined landmarks. The results demonstrated that participants synchronized with syllable-size units regardless of the type of syllable nucleus (vowel or consonant) and that their taps were consistently timed close to nucleus onsets. Hereby, the manually defined nucleus onsets predicted synchronization peaks as well as the algorithm-generated moments of the fastest energy change around nucleus onsets (i.e., a model of the P-center location) did. In contrast, other landmarks did not constitute a stable acoustic anchor of sensorimotor synchronization with English speech. The synchronization performance was not influenced by either acoustic F0-information or by phonological tune specifications. These findings provide new evidence for the proposals that rhythmic attention in natural speech may be locked on to fast spectral changes within a syllable as the smallest structuring unit of prosodic hierarchy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phonetics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101263"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49756482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
