Foreign accent strength and intelligibility at the segmental level
(Elsevier, 2022)
The relationship between strength of foreign accent and intelligibility is not straightforward. This relationship
resists a simple characterisation due in part to the multiplicity of cues that carry accent in the word- ...
Is segmental foreign accent perceived categorically?
(Elsevier, 2020-01-15)
The second language learning process involves acquisition of sounds that differ to varying degrees from the sounds of a learner’s native language. Learners’ productions are strongly influenced by their native language par- ...
Combining spectral and temporal modification techniques for speech intelligibility enhancement
(Elsevier, 2019-11-02)
Modifying clean speech prior to output in noisy conditions can lead to substantial intelligibility gains. Most algorithms operate by redistributing energy across the signal, leaving the timing of the underlying speech ...
Non-native consonant acquisition in noise: Effects of exposure/ test similarity
(AIP Publishing, 2019-07-22)
When faced with speech in noise, do listeners rely on robust cues or can they make use of joint speech-plus-noise patterns based on prior experience? Recent studies have suggested that listeners are better able to identify ...
How reliable are online speech intelligibility studies with known listener cohorts?
(AIP, 2021-08-25)
Although the use of nontraditional settings for speech perception experiments is growing, there have been few controlled comparisons of online and laboratory modalities in the context of speech intelligibility. The current ...
Effects of exposure to noise during perceptual training of non-native language sounds
(AIP Publishing, 2018)
Listeners manage to acquire the sounds of their native language in spite of experiencing a range of
acoustic conditions during acquisition, including the presence of noise. Is the same true for nonnative
sound acquisition? ...
