Articulatory Rate and Perceptual Constancy in Phonetic Perception.

Summerfield, Quentin

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v7 n5 p1074-95 Oct 1981

The perception of syllable-initial stop consonants as voiced or voiceless was shown to depend on prevailing rate of articulation. Reducing articulatory rate of a precursor phrase causes a greater proportion of test consonants to be identified as voiced. Timing should be regarded as intrinsic to the acoustical specifications of phonetic events. (Author/RD)
