García-Vega, Michelle, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Upper Necaxa Totonac is a Totonacan language spoken in the Necaxa River valley in the Sierra Norte of Puebla State, Mexico. While the Totonacan languages historically have three phonemic vowel qualities, the Upper Necaxa system consists of five vowels that contrast length and laryngealization....

Assessing the importance of several acoustic properties to the perception of spontaneous speech
Download2018-03-28
Podlubny, Ryan G., Nearey, Terrance M., Kondrak, Grzegorz, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Spoken language manifests itself as change over time in various acoustic dimensions. While it seems clear that acoustic-phonetic information in the speech signal is key to language processing, little is currently known about which specific types of acoustic information are relatively...

Coarticulatory Acoustic Detail: Supplementary Material
2021-02-17
Tomaschek, Fabian, Tucker, Benjamin V.
In the present study, we investigate the informativity of anticipatory coarticulatory acoustic detail about inflectional suffixes in English verbs, performing two experiments in which listeners classified inflectional functions of verbs. We observed that listener response latencies were slower...

Community Collaborations: Best practices for North American Indigenous language documentation
Download2008
Tucker, Benjamin V., Penfield, Susan D., Hill, Johnny Jr., Vasquez, Nora, Serratos, Angelina, Harper, Gilford, Flores, Amelia
This article describes a collaborative project for language documentation involving the North American indigenous languages of Mohave and Chemehuevi. We define the essential elements of field methods and of project design while proposing a basic model for collaborative community-based projects in...

Nenadić, Filip, Tucker, Benjamin V.
We present a series of computational simulations of the auditory lexical decision task using the jTRACE and TISK models of spoken word recognition. Simulation 1 replicates high accuracy in word recognition and similar performance of these models using the small, default dictionary. Simulation 2...

Phillips, Audra, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Studies have shown that the voice onset time (VOT) of alveolo-palatal affricates is the longest, followed by velars, dental/alveolars, and bilabials. In a reciprocal pattern, closure duration is the longest for bilabials, followed by dental/alveolars, and then velars. Longer VOT is also...

Amy Fountain, Natasha Warner, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Natural, spontaneous speech (and even quite careful speech) often shows extreme reduction of many speech segments, even resulting in apparent deletion of consonants. Where the flap ([ɾ]) allophone of /t/ and /d/ is expected in American English, one frequently sees an approximant-like or even...

Intelligibility of foreign-accented words: Acoustic distances and gradient foreign accentedness
Download2015-04-29
Porretta, Vincent, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Intelligibility and degree of accentedness are interrelated aspects of non-native speech. Previous research suggests that foreign accentedness is influenced by phonetic distance measures [7]. These distance measures may also influence the intelligibility of individual words. In the present study...
