Burst spectrum as a cue for the stop voicing contrast in American English by Chodroff, Eleanor, Wilson, Colin

“…Voicing contrasts in stop consonants are expressed by a constellation of acoustic cues. This study focused on a spectral cue present at burst onset in American…”

Structure in talker-specific phonetic realization: Covariation of stop consonant VOT in American English by Chodroff, Eleanor, Wilson, Colin

“…Variation across talkers in the acoustic-phonetic realization of speech sounds is a pervasive property of spoken language. The present study provides evidence…”

It’s alignment all the way down, but not all the way up: Speakers align on some features but not others within a dialogue by Ostrand, Rachel, Chodroff, Eleanor

“…•Speakers modulate their production to match their interlocutors’, called alignment.•We assess several individual features of syntactic and acoustic-phonetic…”

Acoustic–phonetic and auditory mechanisms of adaptation in the perception of sibilant fricatives by Chodroff, Eleanor, Wilson, Colin

“…Listeners are highly proficient at adapting to contextual variation when perceiving speech. In the present study, we examined the effects of brief speech and…”

Prosodic encoding of information structure in nuclear and prenuclear positions in American English by Cole, Jennifer, Chodroff, Eleanor

“…A hallmark of English intonation is the prosodic encoding of information structure (givenness, focus) through distinctions in acoustic prominence and pitch…”

“Please say what this word is,” in the US and now again in the UK: Dialectal differences in a replication of Ladefoged and Broadbent (1957) by Stilp, Christian E., Chodroff, Eleanor

“…One of the most famous speech perception studies is Ladefoged and Broadbent (1957), which demonstrated that acoustic properties of earlier sounds (in a context…”

Speech recognition in adverse conditions by humans and machines by Patman, Chloe, Chodroff, Eleanor

“…In the development of automatic speech recognition systems, achieving human-like performance has been a long-held goal. Recent releases of large spoken…”

Mutual predictability among speech sounds for talker adaptation and recognition by Chodroff, Eleanor, Wilson, Colin

“…Processes of talker recognition and adaptation rely on a high degree of inter-talker phonetic variability and systematicity, respectively. While superficially…”

Relative influences of information structure and utterance-final position on the prosodic implementation of nuclear pitch accents by Chodroff, Eleanor, Cole, Jennifer

“…The phonological and phonetic realization of a nuclear pitch accent has been claimed to reflect aspects of its information structure (IS). As the rightmost…”

"Please say what this word is": Linguistic experience and acoustic context interact in vowel categorization by Stilp, Christian, Chodroff, Eleanor

“…Ladefoged and Broadbent [(1957). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 29(1), 98-104] is a foundational study in speech perception research, demonstrating that acoustic…”

Uniformity of inherent vowel duration across speakers of American English by Wilson, Colin, Chodroff, Eleanor

“…Vowel duration is determined by a number of factors in American English (e.g., Klatt, 1976), including the tense vs. lax distinction (e.g., /i/-/ɪ/, /u/-/ʊ/)…”

Delayed effects of speech and non-speech stimuli on sibilant categorization by Chodroff, Eleanor, Wilson, Colin

“…Adaptation to the speech of a novel talker can involve at least two types of mechanism: phonetic learning (e.g., Samuel & Kraljic, 2009) and spectral contrast…”

Covariation of stop voice onset time across languages: Evidence for a universal constraint on phonetic realization by Chodroff, Eleanor, Golden, Alessandra, Wilson, Colin

“…Stop consonant voice onset time (VOT) was examined in a typological survey of over 100 languages. Within broadly defined laryngeal categories (long-lag,…”

Auditory and acoustic-phonetic mechanisms of adaptation in the perception of sibilant fricatives by Chodroff, Eleanor, Wilson, Colin

“…Previous research has demonstrated that speech perception is highly dependent on preceding acoustic context (e.g., Ladefoged & Broadbent, 1957), and suggested…”

Parallel adjustment of phonetic targets in L2 English voice onset time by Chodroff, Eleanor, Baese-Berk, Melissa M.
