Lexical Stress Realization In Mandarin Second Language Learners Of English: An Acoustic And Articulatory Study, Boram Kim
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation investigated the acoustic and articulatory correlates of lexical stress in Mandarin second language (L2) learners of English, as well as in first language (L1) speakers. The present study used a minimal pair respective to stress location (e.g., OBject versus obJECT) obtained from a publicly available Mandarin Accented English Electromagnetic articulography corpus dataset. In the acoustic domain, the use of acoustic parameters (duration, intensity, F0, and vowel quality) was measured in stressed and unstressed vowels. In the articulatory domain, the positional information from tongue tip (TT), tongue dorsum (TD), upper lip (UL), lower lip (LL), and jaw (JAW) were …
Musical Ability And Accent Imitation, Maria Murljacic
Musical Ability And Accent Imitation, Maria Murljacic
Honors Scholar Theses
This study investigates the intersection of musical ability and accent imitation, more specifically defining what factors cause a relationship between the two. The study was run on 50 participants, who each completed an accent imitation ability assessment, a musical ability assessment, and an articulation ability assessment. The scores for the accent imitation portion were rated by anonymous online raters. Each participant filled out a questionnaire on prior musical experience and were either classified as a musician or non-musician. The analysis found that those in the musician group performed better on the musical ability, articulation, and accent ability assessment than non-musicians. …

A Pilot Ultrasound Study Of Kannada Lingual Articulations, Alexei Kochetov, N. Sreedevi, Midula Kasim, R. Manjula
Alexei Kochetov
Ultrasound has been increasingly used in phonetic and speech science research, often as a less invasive and less costly alternative to other instrumental articulatory methods. Some details of the methodology of ultrasound data collection and analysis, however, have not yet been well established, or are not fully applicable to the study of speech language disorders. This study explores the use of an ultra-portable ultrasound system – a SeeMore USB probe – to study the production of several lingual consonants of Kannada. Multiple repetitions of words with 4 consonants - voiceless dental, retroflex, alveolopalatal and velar stops/affricates – were produced by …

The Role Of Gestural Overlap In Perceptual Place Assimilation: Evidence From Korean, Minjung Son, Alexei Kochetov, Marianne Pouplier
The Role Of Gestural Overlap In Perceptual Place Assimilation: Evidence From Korean, Minjung Son, Alexei Kochetov, Marianne Pouplier
Alexei Kochetov
Opposing views have emerged in phonological and phonetic theory on whether perceptual place assimilation is exclusively attributable to gestural reduction or can be triggered by gestural overlap as well. Specifically, regressive place assimilation in Korean /pk/ clusters has been used as argument for the hypothesis that gestural reduction is uniquely responsible for perceptual place assimilation, yet the empirical evidence for this reduction hypothesis is ambiguous. The present study demonstrates on the basis of articulatory movement data that in these /pk/ clusters the lip gesture for /p/ is either fully present (with varying degrees of overlap) or completely absent. Our data …
Syllable Position Effects And Gestural Organization: Evidence From Russian, Alexei Kochetov
Syllable Position Effects And Gestural Organization: Evidence From Russian, Alexei Kochetov
Alexei Kochetov
Previous articulatory studies have shown that English syllable-initial and syllable-final consonants exhibit different patterns of gestural organization. These differences – syllable position effects – are manifested primarily in the relative timing and magnitude of gestures. In general, syllable-initial consonants show more stable patterns of coordination and “tighter” articu-latory constrictions than the same consonants in syllable-final position. This paper addresses the question of whether syllable position effects hold for other languages by examining the articulatory properties of some Rus-sian syllable-initial and syllable final consonants: the palatal glide /j/ and labial stops /pj/ and /p/. In general, the articulometer (EMMA) results con-firm …
