Preferential Early Attribution In Segmental Parsing, Amanda Rysling
Preferential Early Attribution In Segmental Parsing, Amanda Rysling
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation investigates parsing in segmental perception, or the process by which listeners map the continuous acoustic signal that reaches their ears to the linguistic representations over which phonology operates. It addresses questions of when listeners decide that they have heard acoustic evidence about the identity of one speech sound, versus evidence about the identity of a following sound, and when this linguistic knowledge is applied relative to when it is received during the course of on-line perception and processing. The central argument advanced here is that the beginnings of answers to these questions require the recognition of a domain-general …

Temporally selective attention allows for the preferential processing of stimuli presented at particular times, and is reasoned to be important for processing rapidly presented information such as speech. Recent event-related potential (ERP) evidence demonstrates that listeners direct temporally selective attention to times that contain word onsets in speech. This may be an effective listening strategy since these moments provide critical information to the listener, but the mechanism that underlies this process remains unexplored. In three experiments, putative attention cues including word recognition and predictability were manipulated in both artificial and natural speech and ERP responses at various times were compared …
