A key feature of speech is the quasi-regular rhythmic information contained in its slow
amplitude modulations. In this article we review the information conveyed by speech rhythm …

This paper reviews what is currently known about the sensory and perceptual input that is
made available to the word recognition system by processes typically assumed to be related …

Lexical hypothesis formation from acoustic input is an important component of the normal

Abstract In 7 experiments (40 16–26 yr olds), the perception of syllable-initial stop
consonants as voiced (/b/,/d/,/g/) or voiceless (/p/,/t/,/k/) was shown to depend on the …

First Published in 2002. Part of the Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics series, this is an
in-depth investigation of the effects of duration and sonority on contour tone distribution. The …

This study investigated the perceptual adjustments that occur when listeners recognize
highly compressed speech. In Experiment 1, adjustment was examined as a function of the …

Several experiments investigate voicing judgments in minimal pairs like rabid-rapid when
the duration of the first vowel and the medial stop are varied factorially and other cues for …

This study attempts to determine the ways in which linguistic timing factors combine with
