INVESTIGATION OF THE CONSONANT ENDINGS OF THE CHAOSHAN DIALECT: A RESULT OF LANGUAGE CONTACT AND HORIZONTAL TRANSMISSION [PDF]
, 2020 This thesis studies the inter-group variation of the consonant endings among five principal subgroups of the Chaoshan dialect, a branch of the South Min dialect in Eastern Guangdong Province, from the perspective of language contact and horizontal ...

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001 Classic non-native speech perception findings suggested that adults have difficulty discriminating segmental distinctions that are not employed contrastively in their own language.

Gated auditory speech perception: effects of listening conditions and cognitive capacity
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 This study aimed to measure the initial portion of signal required for the correct identification of auditory speech stimuli (or isolation points, IPs) in silence and noise, and to investigate the relationships between auditory and cognitive functions in

Contributions of temporal encodings of voicing, voicelessness, fundamental frequency, and amplitude variation to audiovisual and auditory speech perception [PDF]
, 1999 Auditory and audio-visual speech perception was investigated using auditory signals of invariant spectral envelope that temporally encoded the presence of voiced and voiceless excitation, variations in amplitude envelope and F-0.

Differential cue weighting in perception and production of consonant voicing.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012 This study examines English speakers' relative weighting of two voicing cues in production and perception. Participants repeated words differing in initial consonant voicing ([b] or [p]) and labeled synthesized tokens ranging between [ba] and [pa ...

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012 Recent evidence suggests that spectral change, as measured by cochlea-scaled entropy (CSE), predicts speech intelligibility better than the information carried by vowels or consonants in sentences.

Multiple evolutionary pressures shape identical consonant avoidance in the world's languages [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Languages disfavor word forms containing sequences of similar or identical consonants, due to the biomechanical and cognitive difficulties posed by patterns of this sort. However, the specific evolutionary processes responsible for this phenomenon are not fully understood.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaRecent research has confirmed that musical consonance is not only determined by the frequency ratios between tones, but also by the frequency spectra of the underlying tones (Marjieh et al., 2024). However, this prior research was limited to artificial tones, specifically tones built from a small number of pure tones, producing sounds that do not match

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012 This study investigated the ability to use cues contained within vowel and consonant segments by older listeners with normal or impaired hearing. Spectral shaping restored audibility for the hearing-impaired group.
