One fundamental aspect of the Russian phonological system is a contrast between palatalized and unpalatalized consonants. This distinction poses a challenge for native English speakers learning Russian as a second language because palatalization is n

In contrast to German and other languages that devoice underlying word-final, voiced obstruent targets, English maintains a surface contrast between voiced and voiceless obstruents. The present study investigated the issue of what occurs when native

In two previous papers published in Journal of Phonetics, we presented findings concerning perception and production of devoicing by native speakers of Mandarin (Hayes-Harb, Smith, Bent, & Bradlow, 2008) and native speakers of German (Smith, Hayes-Ha

German manifests a phonological pattern of word-final consonant devoicing, with an underlying voicing contrast that is largely ‘‘neutralized’’ in speech, whereas English has a surface voicing contrast in final position. This raises questions

This study investigated the intelligibility of native and Mandarin-accented English speech for native English and native Mandarin listeners. The word-final voicing contrast was considered (as in minimal pairs such as `cub' and `cup') in a forced-choi

To gain as comprehensive an understanding of children’s speech production development as possible, it is important to investigate this phenomenon from a variety of complementary perspectives. The present study approached the acoustic analysis of ch

To assess two competing hypotheses pertaining to children’s speech production development, relationships between segmental durations and their associated variability (as measured by standard deviation) were studied in three groups of children and a

Adult speakers of a language exhibit elaborate temporal control systems governing the durations of speech segments. These systems include the effects of inherent, universal properties of the speech production apparatus as well as learned, language-sp

Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether phonetic sequences which are considered to be “difficult” to articulate show evidence of difficulties at an organizational level and/or at the level of overt articulation. In the first experim

Segments with inherently short durations (i.e. flaps) were compared with segments having inherently longer durations (e.g. stressed vowels) to determine whether children show less adult-like performance for segments which are intrinsically shorter in
