This study examined the impact on speech processing of regional phonetic/phonological variation in listener’s native language. The perception /e/-/ε/ and /o/-/ɔ/ contrasts, produced by standard but not southern French speakers, was investigated these two populations. A repetition priming experiment showed that latter former perceived words such as /epe/ /epε/ homophones. In contrast, both groups minimal pairs (/pom/-/pɔm/) being distinct. Thus, standard-French can be differently depending accent.
Southern French listeners were trained on the word final Standard /e/-/epsilon/ contrast that does not exist in their dialect. They learned to associate minimal pairs of new words with visual shapes. Although training session performance was relatively high, learning did transfer a lexical decision task phonological priming. Thus successful phonemic guarantee efficient use this spoken recognition tasks. These findings are discussed light abstractionist and exemplarist models.
The present study aimed to assess the extent which human participants co-represent lexico-semantic processing of a humanoid robot partner. Specifically, we investigated whether would engage their speech production system predict robot’s upcoming words, and how they progressively adapt verbal behavior. In experiment, participant alternated in naming pictures objects from 15 semantic categories, while participant’s electrophysiological activity was recorded. We manipulated word frequency as...
The mental production of speech or "inner speech" is a remarkable and foundational ability in humans, involved many daily activities such as reading, writing, remembering, planning. Inner generally accompanied by subjective multisensory (mainly auditory) experience. However, the cognitive processes leading to these sensory percepts remain poorly known. One prominent perspective that content inner would correspond predicted consequences inhibited acts. Scott (2013) provided experimental...
Auditory and somatosensory systems play a key role in speech motor control. In the act of speaking, segmental movements are programmed to reach phonemic sensory goals, which turn used estimate actual feedback order further control production. The adult's tendency automatically imitate number acoustic-phonetic characteristics another speaker's however suggests that production not only relies on intended goals but also processing external inputs. These online adaptive changes production, or...
Phonetic imitation, also called phonetic convergence, is currently at the heart of numerous investigations since it can inform us on both nature lexical representations and link between production perception processes in spoken language communication. A task that has been largely used to study imitation shadowing task, which participants merely listen repeat isolated words. In this study, we examined extent convergence effect found when shadow auditory tokens, an speaker. We thus compared...
This contribution relates to the project "La Phonologie du Français Contemporain" (PFC), largest and most ambitious survey of modern French ever conceived. The PFC involves over thirty researchers from a variety countries aims at recording, partial transcription phonetic analysis 600 speakers francophone world. It broad coverage varieties contemporary by selecting groups approximately 60 different locations in So far around have already been recorded various parts world beside France,...
The principal aim of this investigation was to compare coarticulatory effects at different levels the speech production system, in order gain insight into relations between levels. To end, relative magnitudes carryover and anticipatory coarticulation with adjacent vowels were measured midpoints two lingual fricatives /s/ /∫/ speakers each English, French, German. Linguopalatal contact patterns derived from electropalatographic recordings compared an analysis acoustic output. results...
One particularity of the Mauritian Creole language is that there no contrastive distinction between consonants /s/ and /ʃ/, which are both pronounced in Creole. In this study, we examined identification performance - /ʃ/ contrast by Creole-French bilinguals who have been exposed to French before 7 years age, raised a highly bilingual society. The results showed most our participants identify like native speakers. It also appeared way two categorized can be manipulated introducing subtle...
Abstract During a conversation, the neural processes supporting speech production and perception overlap in time and, based on context, expectations dynamics of interaction, they are also continuously modulated real time. Recently, growing interest underlying interactive tasks, particular language domain, has mainly tackled temporal aspects turn‐taking dialogs. Besides coordination, an under‐investigated phenomenon is implicit convergence speakers toward shared phonetic space. Here, we used...
Recent research on speech communication has revealed a tendency for speakers to imitate at least some of the characteristics their interlocutor's sound shape. This phenomenon, referred as phonetic convergence, entails moment-to-moment adaptation speaker's targets perceived speech. It is thought contribute setting up conversational common ground between and facilitate mutual understanding. However, it remains uncertain what extent convergence occurs in voice fundamental frequency (F0), spite...
