The Language-Specificity of Phonetic Adaptation to Talkers
Lang Speech. 2023 Dec 6:238309231214244. doi: 10.1177/00238309231214244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTListeners adapt efficiently to new talkers by using lexical knowledge to resolve perceptual uncertainty. This adaptation has been widely observed, both in first (L1) and in second languages (L2). Here, adaptation was tested in both the L1 and L2 of speakers of Mandarin and English, two very dissimilar languages. A sound midway between /f/ and /s/ replacing either /f/ or /s/ in Mandarin words presented for lexical decision (e.g., bu4fa3 "illegal"; kuan1song1 "loose") prompted the expected adaptation; it induced an expanded...

Front Is High and Back Is Low: Sound-Space Iconicity in Finnish
Lang Speech. 2023 Dec 6:238309231214176. doi: 10.1177/00238309231214176. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious investigations have shown various interactions between spatial concepts and speech sounds. For instance, the front-high vowel [i] is associated with the concept of forward, and the back-high vowel [o] is associated with the concept of backward. Three experiments investigated whether the concepts of forward/front and backward/back are associated with high- and low-pitched vocalizations, respectively, in Finnish. In Experiments 1 and 2, the participants associated the high-pitched vocalization with the forward-dire...
