Recent empirical studies have highlighted the large degree of analytic flexibility in data analysis that can lead to substantially different conclusions based on same set. Thus, researchers expressed their concerns these researcher degrees freedom might facilitate bias and claims do not stand test time. Even greater is be expected fields which primary lend themselves a variety possible operationalizations. The multidimensional, temporally extended nature speech constitutes an ideal testing...
When talkers anticipate that a listener may have difficulty understanding their speech, they adopt speaking style typically described as "clear speech." This includes variety of acoustic modifications and has perceptual benefits for listeners. In the present study, we examine whether clear styles also include modulation lexical items selected produced during naturalistic conversations. Our results demonstrate do, indeed, modulate selection, measured by diversity sophistication indices....
Abstract There is a consensus in psycholinguistic research that listening to unfamiliar speech constitutes challenging situation. In this commentary, we explore the problems with construct of non-native and ask whether using useful, specifically shift communicative burden from language learner perceiver, who often occupies position power. We examine what factors affect perception talkers. frame question by addressing observation not all “difficult” conditions provide equal challenges. Given...
Ideologies about languages and countries are hard to shake, even in a multinational, multilingual setting like the National Hockey League (NHL) journalists who report on it. Despite its historical roots Montréal dominance of Canadian European players, lingua franca NHL is English. In this work, we used qualitative analyses examine players’, journalists’, coaches’ attitudes toward other than English ice. Across all groups, found that Russian speakers were most likely be assessed negatively,...
In this experiment, we examine the contribution of sleep-based memory consolidation to learning morphophonological alternations in an artificial grammar. Periods sleep after training seem help participants retain word formation patterns that they have previously learned, and also generalize learned novel stimuli (Bryant et al., 2020; Dumay & Gaskell, 2007, 2012; Gomez, 2017; Gómez Edgin, 2015; Sandoval Simon 2017). As our previous work has shown, Arabiclike morphology is particularly...
The adverbial suffix -ly₁ and the adjectival -ly₂ typically do not combine (e.g., *ghost+ly₂+ly₁; 'in a ghostlike manner'). However, phonologically similar strings are attested when one /li/ string is part of word stem (jollily, compared to: ?smellily, *lovelily). Does morphological structure modulate acceptability these words independently from impact phonological or usage-based constraints? In two experiments, jolly-type stems rated more acceptable than smell- love-type stems, which did...

Over the last decade, synthetic speech has become increasingly realistic and potentially comparable to human speech. Despite it becoming more realistic, do we process in exactly same way as speech? In this paper, explore whether humans that they using auditory masked priming (AMP) tasks. AMP operates on assumptions visual does; namely, subconscious perception of related words facilitates lexical access. However, results are mixed is processed similarly speech, especially For present...
This study uses an artificial grammar learning task to probe the of abstract morphophonological structure. Two sets nonce words were created, one with plural forms using concatenative morphology (similar English) and other non-concatenative Arabic). Both had multiple phonologically conditioned allomorphs. Half participants provided instruction feedback, half not. These results show that even minimal feedback leads morphological structure through use words. While at this level may not make...
This study explores how auditory stimuli from multiple talkers affects learning of morphophonological alternations in an artificial grammar. Hearing words voices creates more robust lexical representations (e.g., Davis & Gerken, 2013, 2014; Rost McMurray, 2009, 2010) and aids generalization to new grammatical structures (Gonzales et al., 2018) accents (Baese-Berk 2013; Bradlow Bent, 2008). In ongoing work, participants hear either four different or repetitions the same voice when...
Unfamiliar accents are often harder for listeners to understand than familiar accents; however, previous work has demonstrated that able quickly adapt unfamiliar speech. Further, when trained on speech from multiple accents, they generalize a talker with novel accent. However, tasks used in studies not sensitive enough determine whether this increased generalization also comes costs the specificity of learning. That is, listener is talkers and do demonstrate adaptation an accent as compared...
