Speech Perception1 Fricatives and Affricates We will be looking at acoustic cues in terms of … –Manner –Place –voicing

Speech Perception2 Fricatives and Affricates (manner) Manner –Different from stops in that fricatives are continuants. –Noisy aperiodic component

Speech Perception3 Fricatives and Affricates (place) Place –Absolute intensity of fricative. –Spectral frequency

Speech Perception4 Fricatives and Affricates (place) –Center frequencies will change depending upon vowel context (adaptation) –Other fricatives have more spectral spread and is difficult to identify by spectral frequency alone. –F2 transition points roughly to center frequency. e.g., the F2 transition for /s/ points to about 4000 Hz. These transitions are important for perception of other fricatives which have weak center frequencies. Affricates contain aspects of both stops and fricatives.

Speech Perception5 Fricatives and Affricates (place)

Speech Perception6 Suprasegmentals Suprasegmental perception is poorly understood when compared to suprasegmental production.

Speech Perception7 Suprasegmentals (intonation) Intonation –Ability to changes in intonation is dependent upon ability to track pitch. –Physiological mechanisms for decoding are unknown be probably in Wernike’s area.

Speech Perception8 Suprasegmentals (intonation)

Speech Perception9 Suprasegmentals (intonation) System analyzes speaker’s harmonic structure of speech and then can determine f o and track pitch and f o changes by analyzing change in harmonics (e.g., hearing aids and telephones).

Speech Perception10 Suprasegmentals (stress & juncture) Stress is determined by changes in pitch, loudness and duration. Juncture is determined by silent periods, vowel duration or other features such as voicing or aspiration. Physiological mechanisms for loudness and duration are also thought to be in temporal lobe of cortex.

Speech Perception11 Context Perception of allophones, phonemes, syllables, words or even phrases are dependent upon context. (e.g., spin test) Being able to identify context is important for speech perception, especially for people with hearing loss.

Speech Perception12 Categorical Perception Refers to ability of a listener to discriminate on phoneme or perceptual cue from another based on subtle differences in the acoustic cues. Categorical boundaries are an important part of categorical perception. Provide examples. Study by Liberman (1957) shows how changes in F2 formant frequency can influence perception. They looked at ability to identify phonemes and to discriminate between phonemes.

Speech Perception13 Categorical Perception Describe study

Speech Perception14 Categorical Perception Similar studies have been used to study virtually every known acoustic cue. People with cochlear hearing loss interferes with categorical perception. What are implications?

Speech Perception15 Categorical Perception Effects of Language Effects of Instinct Best guess is both play an important role.

Speech Perception16 Hearing Loss and Speech Perception Review Audiogram Effect on speech dynamics and specific phonemes Effect on suprasegmentals Effect on categorical perception
