Speech sound contrasts differ along multiple phonetic dimensions. During speech
perception, listeners must decide which cues are relevant, and determine the relative …

Like its predecessor, the revised Speech Learning Model (SLM-r) focuses on the learning of
L2 vowels and consonants (or “sounds,” for short) across the life-span. To define the context …

Listeners must accomplish two complementary perceptual feats in extracting a message
from speech. They must discriminate linguistically-relevant acoustic variability and …

The current work examines native Korean speakers' perception and production of stop
contrasts in their native language (L1, Korean) and second language (L2, English), focusing …

This study examined individual differences in categorical perception and the use of multiple
acoustic cues in the perception of the stop voicing contrast. Goals were to investigate …

Understanding the relation between speech production and perception is foundational to
phonetic theory, and is similarly central to theories of the phonetics of sound change. For …

Speech categories are defined by multiple acoustic dimensions and their boundaries are
generally fuzzy and ambiguous in part because listeners often give differential weighting to …

The actuation problem asks why a linguistic change occurs in a particular language at a
particular time and space. Responses to this problem are multifaceted. This review …

Does second language experience affect first language perception? The present paper
addresses this question in a study of bilingual cue weighting with a focus on perceptual cues …

In this contribution we explore the hypothesis of an interaction between speaker-and listener-
specific strategies in the encoding and decoding of intonational contrasts Intonational …
