| Abstract | Studied native speakers of Japanese (38 Ss) and of English (10 Ss as controls) to determine whether the 2 groups respond to different acoustical patterns conveying "l" and "r" phonemes as if they were sensitive to differences in the vocal tract movements that convey these phonemes. Subjects labeled stimuli along a synthetic "dal"^"gal" continuum when the stimuli were preceded by specified natural tokens. Result support the hypothesis concerning differential sensitivity to vocal tract movements. |
