Automatic proficiency judgments: Accentedness, fluency, and comprehensibility
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021The goal of the present study is to investigate whether computational models can approximate human perceptual judgments of accentedness, fluency, and comprehensibility in non-native speech using low-level acoustic features and speech rhythm features. Previous studies have used the results of automatic speech recognition systems, such as word error rate,

Context effects on accentedness ratings
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017Intelligibility and accentedness are largely independent judgments (Derwing & Munro, 1995); a speaker rated as highly accented can be quite intelligible. The context of listeners’ exposure to accented speakers has been shown to affect adaptation to speakers in terms of intelligibility (e.g., Tzeng et al., 2016), suggesting that implicit comparison ...

Sentence durations and accentedness judgments
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003Talkers in a second language can frequently be identified as speaking with a foreign accent. It is not clear to what degree a foreign accent represents specific deviations from a target language versus more general characteristics. We examined the identifications of native and non-native talkers by listeners with various amount of knowledge of the ...

Effects of noise and talker intelligibility on judgments of accentedness
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018The goal of this study was to determine how noise affects listeners' subjective judgments of foreign-accented speech and how those judgments relate to the intelligibility of foreign-accented talkers. Fifty native English listeners heard native Mandarin speakers and native English speakers producing English sentences in quiet and in three levels of ...

Diverse environments and their impact on accentedness judgments
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020Research shows that listeners' perceived accentedness can be mediated by visual input (Babel & Russell, 2015; McGowan, 2015; Zheng & Samuel, 2017), and can change depending on their exposure to varied speech (Baese-Berk et al., 2013). Here, we tested the impact that visual input and linguistic diversity has on listeners' perceived accentedness ...

Segmental versus prosodic predictors of perceived accentedness
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016Previous work has identified both segmental and prosodic influences on the perceived foreign accentedness of non-native speakers, but their relative contributions remain poorly understood, in part because they are often investigated independently. In this study, both segmental and prosodic properties of word-length stimuli were assessed. Native English-
