The primary goal of the present study was to compare native (L1) and non-native (L2) speakers’ vowel productions to determine whether the L2 subjects showed similar or greater within-subject (i.e., token-to-token) variability relative to the L1 tal

Although cross‐sectional (group) investigations of children’s speech production have provided important findings about average performance and general patterns of development, one limitation of such studies is that they tend to obscure details co

Eighteen adults and 12 children, ranging from 7 to 11 years of age, participated in a study that investigated their abilities to control the temporal variability of their speech. For both the adults and the children, few substantive differences in pe

Various studies of speech production development have observed that duration and temporal variability tend to decrease as children get older. Because both of these factors are commonly viewed as general indicators of neuromotor maturation of children

Several studies have shown that extensive training with synthetic speech sounds can result in substantial improvements in listeners’ perception of intraphonemic differences. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of listeni

The primary issue of interest in the present study concerned acoustic variability among L2 learners of English with different degrees of accentedness. Specifically, we were interested in determining whether L2 learners with stronger accents differ fr

In many languages, some segments are longer/shorter than others due to phonetic context, position within an utterance, etc. However, results from most such studies have typically considered group averages. The present study examined productions by te

Investigations of acoustic characteristics of speech production and their perceptual correlates often determine that various common patterns are observed among groups of talkers/listeners. It is also sometimes reported that a certain amount of noise

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

A number of languages manifest a pattern of word‐final obstruent devoicing, i.e., words ending with underlying voiced obstruents are pronounced so as to be (largely) indistinguishable from words ending with final voiceless obstruents. One question
