THE VOCALIC CONTEXT INFLUENCE ON THE VOWEL SOUND IDENTIFICATION

https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2015-4-949

Abstract

The mechanism of contextual influence on perception of a vowel sound is described. Known experiments on perception of the English vowels of synthetic speech are discussed, especially those showing the change of the test word identification depending on the formant structure of an introductory sentence. New interpretation of the discussed experiments results is given. An experiment on changing the categorical perception of a vowel in the context of natural speech is shown.
