Got experience? PMN amplitudes to foreign-accented speech modulated by listener experience

This study examines processing of native- and Chinese-accented English words. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded for a set of spoken English words varying in degree of foreign accentedness. Waveform differences emerge for the Phonological …

The influence of gradient foreign accentedness and listener experience on word recognition

The present article examines lexical processing of foreign-accented speech, specifically as it relates to gradient foreign accentedness and listener experience. In two experiments, we investigate the effect of accentedness and experience on the …

Intelligibility of foreign-accented words - Acoustic distances and gradient foreign accentedness

Intelligibility of foreign-accented words - Acoustic distances and gradient foreign accentedness

Intelligibility and degree of accentedness are interrelated aspects of non-native speech. Previous research suggests that foreign accentedness is influenced by phonetic distance measures. These distance measures may also influence the intelligibility …

Perceived foreign accentedness - Acoustic distances and lexical properties

In this study, we examined speaker-dependent (acoustic) and speaker-independent (lexical) linguistic influences on perceived foreign accentedness. Accentedness ratings assigned to Chinese-accented English words were analyzed, taking accentedness as a …
