Park, Yeonggwang; Anand, Supraja; Gifford, Sophia M.; Shrivastav, Rahul; Eddins, David A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Acoustic and perceptual quantification of vocal strain has been a vexing problem for years. To increase measurement rigor, a suitable single-variable matching stimulus for strain was developed and validated, based on the matching stimulus used previously for breathy and rough voice qualities. Method: A set of 21 comparison stimuli for a…

Delaney E. Kelemen; Camden Burnsworth; Charles Chubb; Tracy M. Centanni – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Pitch perception is important for speech sound learning, and reading acquisition requires integration of speech sounds and written letters. Many individuals with dyslexia exhibit auditory perception deficits that may therefore contribute to their reading impairment given that complex pitch perception is crucial for categorizing speech…

Elazar, Amit; Alhama, Raquel G.; Bogaerts, Louisa; Siegelman, Noam; Baus, Cristina; Frost, Ram – Cognitive Science, 2022
How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners' native language determines SL performance. We computed the frequency of co-occurrences of syllables in spoken Spanish through…

Song Yi Kim; Jeong-Im Han – Second Language Research, 2024
Korean learners of English are known to repair consonant clusters, which are not allowed in their native language, with an epenthetic vowel [close central unrounded vowel]. The purpose of the present study is to examine whether the perception-production link of such an illusory vowel in a second language (L2) is only within and not across…

Danielle Daidone; Ryan Lidster; Franziska Kruger – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Our study proposes the use of a free classification task for investigating the dimensions used by listeners in their perception of nonnative sounds and for predicting the perceptual discriminability of nonnative contrasts. In a free classification task, participants freely group auditory stimuli based on their perceived similarity. The results can…

Magdalena Wrembel; Ulrike Gut; Romana Kopecková; Anna Balas – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2024
There is a scarcity of research into the relationship between speech perception and production from a multilingual perspective. The present exploratory study investigates longitudinally the acquisition of rhotic sounds in 24 adolescent learners who have the same language repertoires (English, German, Polish), with English being their L2, and…

Martinez, Ruth Maria; Goad, Heather; Dow, Michael – Second Language Research, 2023
Feature-based approaches to acquisition principally focus on second language (L2) learners' ability to perceive non-native consonants when the features required are either contrastively present or entirely absent from the first language (L1) grammar. As features may function contrastively or allophonically in the consonant and/or vowel systems of…

Aalto, Eija; Saaristo-Helin, Katri; Stolt, Suvi – First Language, 2023
The association between pre-reading skills and phonological production skills has been shown at school age, but less is known about how these skills interact at an earlier age when they are just developing. The focus was to investigate whether a connection between pre-reading skills (letter naming, rapid automatised naming; RAN) and phonological…

de Carvalho, Alex; Gomes, Victor; Trueswell, John – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
We studied English-learning children's ability to learn the meanings of novel words from sentences containing truth-functional negation (Exp1) and to use the semantics of negation to inform word meaning (Exp2). In Exp1, 22-month-olds (n = 21) heard dialogues introducing a novel verb in either negative-transitive "("Mary didn't blick the…

Aalto, Eija; Saaristo-Helin, Katri; Stolt, Suvi – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Background noise challenges auditory recognition of speech and may reveal the underlying deficits in auditory word recognition skills. Previous studies have reported an association between children's auditory skills and various linguistic skills, including phonology, although in some languages only. However, language-specific features influence…

Zhu, Wenhui; Lee, Sun-Hee; Zhang, Xinting – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2023
This study investigates the perception of the three Mandarin high vowels /i, u, y/ after dental, retroflex, and palatal fricatives and affricates (/s/-/[voiceless alveolar affricate]/-/[voiceless alveolar affricate][superscript voiceless glottal fricative]/; /[voiceless retroflex sibilant fricative]/-/[voiceless alveolar affricate]/-/[voiceless…

Werff, Kathy R. Vander; Niemczak, Christopher E.; Morse, Kenneth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Background noise has been categorized as energetic masking due to spectrotemporal overlap of the target and masker on the auditory periphery or informational masking due to cognitive-level interference from relevant content such as speech. The effects of masking on cortical and sensory auditory processing can be objectively studied with…

Zalbidea, Janire – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Following calls for more modality-sensitive perspectives of SLA, this study investigated the extent to which (a) producing the second language (L2) in the oral modality impacts learner-generated noticing and L2 development of grammatical structures embedded in subsequent auditory input, and whether (b) engaging in L2 production and input…

Yu, Vickie Y. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
This study examined the importance of syllable position, duration, and tone/pitch for the assignment of stress in Chinese hums. Twenty native Mandarin speakers and 20 native English speakers were asked to assign primary stress to two-syllable Chinese hums. The importance of acoustic cues for stress assignment was also evaluated. Our findings…

Miquel Llompart – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
This study presents a reanalysis of existing data to investigate whether a relationship between perception and production abilities regarding a challenging second-language (L2) phonological contrast is observable (a) when both modalities must rely on accessing stored lexical representations and (b) when there is an asymmetry in task focus between…
