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.

A Viewpoint on Accent Services: Framing and Terminology Matter
Vikas Grover,Aravind Namasivayam,Nidhi Mahendra +2 more
TL;DR: This article advocates for equity-minded reframing of accent services in speech-language pathology, promoting nonpejorative terminology, global linguistic diversity, and practitioner diversity, and offers recommendations for least-biased accent services and respectful communication with accented speakers.
Bears Don’t Always Mess With Beers: Limits on Generalization of Statistical Learning in Speech
Timothy K. Murphy,Nazbanou Nozari,Lori L. Holt +2 more
- 12 Jul 2024
TL;DR: This study examines the limits of statistical learning in speech perception, finding that passive exposure can support learning, but generalization depends on task demands and phoneme similarity, with implications for the relationship between perception and production.

TL;DR: The linguistic diversity characterizing Italian schools is explored, focusing on the perspectives of students in Tuscany. The study investigates the roles of languages and dialects in students' lives and their attitudes towards accented speech.

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.
