Three-year-old tone language learners are tolerant of tone mispronunciations spoken with familiar and novel tones

open access: yesCogent Psychology, 2019
An important issue in language acquisition is understanding the function of suprasegmental information (e.g., tones) in spoken word recognition. Recent research found that three-year-old monolingual Mandarin learners recognized Mandarin words that were ...

Confusion2Vec 2.0: Enriching ambiguous spoken language representations with subwords.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Word vector representations enable machines to encode human language for spoken language understanding and processing. Confusion2vec, motivated from human speech production and perception, is a word vector representation which encodes ambiguities present

Spoken-Word Recognition: The Access to Embedded Words

open access: yesBrain and Language, 1999
Two cross-modal priming experiments investigated whether the representation of either an initial- or a final-embedded word may be activated when the longer carrier word is auditorily presented. Visual targets were semantically related either to the embedded word or to the carrier word or they were unrelated to the primes. A priming effect was found for

The activation of embedded words in spoken word recognition [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Memory and Language, 2015
The current study investigated how listeners understand English words that have shorter words embedded in them. A series of auditory-auditory priming experiments assessed the activation of six types of embedded words (2 embedded positions × 3 embedded proportions) under different listening conditions.

Lexical representation and processing of word-initial morphological alternations: Scottish Gaelic mutation

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2017
When hearing speech, listeners begin recognizing words before reaching the end of the word. Therefore, early sounds impact spoken word recognition before sounds later in the word. In languages like English, most morphophonological alternations affect the

Morphosemantic activation of opaque Chinese words in sentence comprehension.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Two cross-modal priming experiments were conducted to investigate morphological processing in Chinese spoken word recognition during sentence comprehension. Participants heard sentences that contained opaque prime words and performed lexical decisions on

Phonological representations at the onset of reading acquisition: Steady use of phonological detail from preschool to 2nd grade

open access: yesLanguage Development Research
We tracked the developmental path of aspects of spoken word recognition in the beginning years of reading acquisition in German L1 speaking children. Speech processing of phonemic detail in voicing was tested in preschool, in the 1st and in the 2nd grade.

Speaker sex influences processing of grammatical gender. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Spoken words carry linguistic and indexical information to listeners. Abstractionist models of spoken word recognition suggest that indexical information is stripped away in a process called normalization to allow processing of the linguistic message to ...

Rhythmic Categories in Spoken-Word Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Memory and Language, 2002
Rhythmic categories such as morae in Japanese or stress units in English play a role in the perception of spoken language. We examined this role in Japanese, since recent evidence suggests that morae may intervene as structural units in word recognition.

The influence on recognition of spoken words that are misperceived [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & Cognition, 1991
Two experiments were performed that involved an initial word-identification task in which the acoustic signal was degraded by either 50% or 60% compression of the recorded words. A control group was tested at the original recording rate (0% compression).
