Often Overlooked Aspects of Sound Symbolism: The Influence of Participants' Characteristics on Size Ratings
Lang Speech. 2023 Sep 22:238309231193631. doi: 10.1177/00238309231193631. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSound symbolism is a non-arbitrary mapping between phonetic properties and meanings. The existence and nature of sound symbolism have long been the subject of empirical research. It is rarely recognized, however, that participants' intrinsic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, language knowledge), in addition to the commonly studied phonetic features, may also influence size ratings. Our study aims to empirically investigate the impact of participant-specific characteristics on size ratings: It also aims to examine wheth...

The Effect of Distributional Restrictions in Speech Perception: A Case Study From Korean and Taiwanese Southern Min
Lang Speech. 2023 Sep 15:238309231195263. doi: 10.1177/00238309231195263. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn Korean, voiced oral stops can occur intervocalically as allophones of their voiceless lenis counterparts; they can also occur initially as variants of nasal stops as a result of initial denasalization (e.g., /motu/→[bodu] "all"). However, neither [ŋ] nor [ɡ] (the denasalized variant of the velar nasal) is allowed in the initial position due to the phonotactic restriction against initial [ŋ] in Korean. Given the distribution of nasal and voiced stops in Korean, this study draws on the idea of cue informativeness, ...

The Effect of Habitual Speech Rate on Speaker-Specific Processing in English Stop Voicing Perception
This study investigates listeners' ability to track individual speakers' habitual speech rate in a dialogue and adjust their perception of durational contrasts. Previous studies that found such adjustments are inconclusive as adjustments can be attributed to exemplars of target structures in the dialogue rather than perceptual calibration of habitual speech rates. In this study, English listeners were presented with a dialogue between a fast and slow speaker, containing no stressed syllable-initial voiceless stops. Listeners then categorized /pi/-/bi/ syllables differing along a voice onset time continuum. Results did not ...
