Perceptual adaptation to non-native speech.
Ann R. Bradlow,Tessa Bent +1 more
TL;DR: Findings provide evidence for highly flexible speech perception processes that can adapt to speech that deviates substantially from the pronunciation norms in the native talker community along multiple acoustic-phonetic dimensions.

Understanding the Student Hearing Difficulties toward Native and Non-Native Speaker Accent in L2 Listening Assessment
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored how extent students can understand native and non-native speakers with different accents and how they perceive about hearing difficulties toward Native speaker accent and Non-native speaker accent.

Systematicity and Arbitrariness In Language
Charles Yang
- 07 Jan 2022
TL;DR: The authors reassess two traditional ideas about the nature of language, Saussurean arbitrariness and Humboldtian infinity, in light of the modern study of linguistic productivity, language acquisition, and cognitive science.

Perception of Foreign Accented Speech: the Roles of Familiarity and Linguistic Training
Rachel Sales
- 01 May 2012
TL;DR: For instance, this article found that participants with ESL/linguistic training rate foreign accented speech more positively on all three dimensions than laypersons with no such training, including comprehensibility, degree of accent, and communicative ability.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that participants rated females higher and enjoyed listening to the Irish accent most, but understood the American accent best and Saudi Arabian accent least, while the results showed no significant findings for EEG recordings.

A role for incidental auditory learning in auditory-visual word learning among kindergarten children.
TL;DR: It is suggested that incidental perceptual learning occurs in the auditory modality and can interfere with word learning, highlighting the importance of the perceptual structure of words in real-world-like learning environments.

A «rationalized» arcsine transform
TL;DR: A simple linear transformation of the arcsine transform is suggested, which produces values that are numerically close to the original percentage values over most of the percentage range while retaining all of the desirable statistical properties of the arcine transform.

Training Japanese listeners to identify English /r/ and /l/: A first report
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the importance of stimulus variability and task-related factors in training nonnative speakers to perceive novel phonetic contrasts that are not distinctive in their native language.
Perceptual learning in speech.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that listeners use lexical knowledge in perceptual learning of speech sounds, and lexical information can thus be used to train categorization of speech.

Training Japanese listeners to identify English /r/ and /l/: IV. Some effects of perceptual learning on speech production.
TL;DR: This paper investigated the effects of training in /r/−/l/ perceptual identification on Japanese spoken utterances and found that the knowledge gained during perceptual learning transferred to the production domain, and thus provided novel information regarding the relationship between speech perception and production.
Training Japanese listeners to identify English /r/ and /l/. II: The role of phonetic environment and talker variability in learning new perceptual categories
TL;DR: The results of the present experiments suggest that variability plays an important role in perceptual learning and robust category formation and that listeners develop talker-specific, context-dependent representations for new phonetic categories by selectively shifting attention toward the contrastive dimensions of the non-native phonetic category categories.
