Perceptual Assimilation and Discrimination of Non-Native Vowel Contrasts

open access: yesPhonetica: International Journal of Phonetic Science, 2014
Research on language-specific tuning in speech perception has focused mainly on consonants, while that on non-native vowel perception has failed to address whether the same principles apply. Therefore, non-native vowel perception was investigated here in

Study and Comparison of Formant Characteristics of Persian Vowels in 4-7-year-old Children Using Cochlear Implants and Those Using Hearing Aids

open access: yesپزشکی بالینی ابن سینا, 2022
Background and Objective: One of the most important physical properties of vowels is their formant structure. One of the most obvious speech errors in hearing-impaired children is vowel errors. The present study aimed to determine and compare the formant

Word Categorization of Vowel Durational Changes in Speech-Modulated Bone-Conducted Ultrasound

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2021
Ultrasound can deliver speech information when it is amplitude-modulated with speech and presented via bone conduction. This speech-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (SM-BCU) can also transmit prosodic information.

Task-Dependent Decoding of Speaker and Vowel Identity from Auditory Cortical Response Patterns

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2014
Selective attention to relevant sound properties is essential for everyday listening situations. It enables the formation of different perceptual representations of the same acoustic input and is at the basis of flexible and goal-dependent behavior. Here,

Functional MRI of Native and Non-native Speech Sound Production in Sequential German-English Bilinguals

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Bilingualism and multilingualism are highly prevalent. Non-invasive brain imaging has been used to study the neural correlates of native and non-native speech and language production, mainly on the lexical and syntactic level.

Reverberation impairs brainstem temporal representations of voiced vowel sounds: challenging periodicity-tagged segregation of competing speech in rooms

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
The auditory system typically processes information from concurrently active sound sources (e.g., two voices speaking at once), in the presence of multiple delayed, attenuated and distorted sound-wave reflections (reverberation).

Duration as a Phonetic Cue in Native and Non‑Native American English

open access: yesELOPE, 2019
This vowel study looks at the intricate relationship between spectral  characteristics and vowel duration in the context of American English vowels, both from a native speaker (NS) and non-native speaker (NNS) perspective.
