Immediate and Distracted Imitation in Second-Language Speech: Unreleased Plosives in English [PDF]
The paper investigates immediate and distracted imitation in second-language speech using unreleased plosives. Unreleased plosives are fairly frequently found in English sequences of two stops. Polish, on the other hand, is characterised by a significant

The Role of Phonetic Units in Speech Emotion Recognition [PDF]
We propose a method for emotion recognition through emotiondependent speech recognition using Wav2vec 2.0. Our method achieved a significant improvement over most previously reported results on IEMOCAP, a benchmark emotion dataset. Different types of phonetic units are employed and compared in terms of accuracy and robustness of emotion recognition ...

Neural network models for phonology and phonetics
This paper argues that if phonological and phonetic phenomena found in language data and in experimental data all have to be accounted for within a single framework, then that framework will have to be based on neural networks. We introduce an artificial

Production of L3 Vowels: Is it Possible to Separate them from L1 and L2 Sounds? [PDF]
It is incontrovertible that acquisition of a sound system of a second language is always a complex phenomenon and presents a great challenge for L2 learners (e.g. Rojczyk, 2010a). There are numerous studies (e.g.
