The influence of top-down expectations on the perception of syllable prominence

ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics, 2019
In our study we use the experimental framework of priming to manipulate our subjects‘ expectations of syllable prominence in sentences with a well-defined syntactic and phonological structure. It shows that it is possible to prime prominence patterns and

Multi-Time Resolution Analysis of Speech

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
How speech signals are analyzed and represented remains a foundational challenge both for cognitive science and neuroscience. A growing body of research, employing various behavioral and neurobiological experimental techniques, now points to the ...

Georgian syllables uncentered

Speech Prosody 2022, 2022
Both sonority, via the Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP), and timing, via the coupled oscillator model advanced within Articulatory Phonology (AP), have been invoked to define the syllable as a unit. Georgian presents challenges for both definitions. The irrelevance of the SSP for Georgian phonotactics is well documented, while it is unclear whether ...

The syllable as a prosodic unit in Japanese lexical strata: Evidence from text-setting

Glossa, 2017
Text-setting, the arrangement of language to music, is a common source of evidence in the debate over the relevance of the syllable in Japanese prosody (e.g., Labrune 2012).

Information theoretic syllable structure and its relation to the c-center effect [PDF]

, 2013
Established phonological theories postulate uniform syllable constituent structures. From a traditional hierarchical point of view, syllables are right branching implying a close connection between the nucleus and the coda.

Lexicality and frequency in specific language impairment: accuracy and error data from two nonword repetition tests [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose: Deficits in phonological working memory and deficits in phonological processing have both been considered potential explanatory factors in Specific Language Impairment (SLI).

Stochastic Time Models of Syllable Structure

PLoS ONE, 2015
Drawing on phonology research within the generative linguistics tradition, stochastic methods, and notions from complex systems, we develop a modelling paradigm linking phonological structure, expressed in terms of syllables, to speech movement data ...

The loi de position and the acoustics of French mid vowels

Glossa, 2017
This paper reports the results of two experiments on the acoustics of French mid vowels in a variety in which close-mid vowels ([e], [ø], [o]) occur in open syllables and open-mid vowels ([ɛ], [oe], [ɔ]) in closed syllables, according to the loi de ...
