The edge factor in early word segmentation: utterance-level prosody enables word form extraction by 6-month-olds by Johnson, Elizabeth K, Seidl, Amanda, Tyler, Michael D

“…Past research has shown that English learners begin segmenting words from speech by 7.5 months of age. However, more recent research has begun to show that, in…”

Perceived Phonological Overlap in Second-Language Categories: The Acquisition of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese Native Listeners by Tyler, Michael D.

“…Japanese learners of English can acquire /r/ and /l/, but discrimination accuracy rarely reaches native speaker levels. How do L2 learners develop phonological…”

Inter-language interference in VOT production by L2-dominant bilinguals: Asymmetries in phonetic code-switching by Antoniou, Mark, Best, Catherine T., Tyler, Michael D., Kroos, Christian

“…Speech production research has demonstrated that the first language (L1) often interferes with production in bilinguals' second language (L2), but it has been…”

Articulating What Infants Attune to in Native Speech by Best, Catherine T., Goldstein, Louis M., Nam, Hosung, Tyler, Michael D.

“…To become language users, infants must embrace the integrality of speech perception and production. That they do so, and quite rapidly, is implied by the…”

Language context elicits native-like stop voicing in early bilinguals’ productions in both L1 and L2 by Antoniou, Mark, Best, Catherine T., Tyler, Michael D., Kroos, Christian

“…The way that bilinguals produce phones in each of their languages provides a window into the nature of the bilingual phonological space. For stop consonants,…”

Vocabulary Size Matters: The Assimilation of Second-Language Australian English Vowels to First-Language Japanese Vowel Categories by Bundgaard-Nielsen, Rikke L, Best, Catherine T, Tyler, Michael D

“…Adult second-language (L2) learners' perception of L2 phonetic segments is influenced by first-language phonological and phonetic properties. It was recently…”

The Contribution of Visual Articulatory Gestures and Orthography to Speech Processing: Evidence From Novel Word Learning by Pattamadilok, Chotiga, Welby, Pauline, Tyler, Michael D.

“…Auditory speech appears to be linked to visual articulatory gestures and orthography through different mechanisms. Yet, both types of visual information have a…”

Effects of vowel coproduction on the timecourse of tone recognition by Shaw, Jason A., Tyler, Michael D.

“…Vowel contrasts tend to be perceived independently of pitch modulation, but it is not known whether pitch can be perceived independently of vowel quality. This…”

An examination of the different ways that non-native phones may be perceptually assimilated as uncategorized by Faris, Mona M, Best, Catherine T, Tyler, Michael D

“…This study examined three ways that perception of non-native phones may be uncategorized relative to native (L1) categories: focalized (predominantly similar…”

Development of Phonological Constancy: 19-Month-Olds, but Not 15-Month-Olds, Identify Words in a Non-Native Regional Accent by Mulak, Karen E., Best, Catherine T., Tyler, Michael D., Kitamura, Christine, Irwin, Julia R.

“…By 12 months, children grasp that a phonetic change to a word can change its identity (phonological distinctiveness). However, they must also grasp that some…”

Two ways to listen: Do L2-dominant bilinguals perceive stop voicing according to language mode? by Antoniou, Mark, Tyler, Michael D., Best, Catherine T.

“…How listeners categorize two phones predicts the success with which they will discriminate the given phonetic distinction. In the case of bilinguals, such…”
