Zusammenfassung: | Investigations of speech production have shown that talkers will systematically alter the acoustic-phonetic properties of their utterances in response to changes in the context in which the words are spoken. Well-known examples of such contexts are the presence of a loud background noise [e.g., Lombard (1911)], or the linguistic context surrounding the target word in a sentence [e.g., Lieberman, Lang. Speech 6, 172–188 (1963)]. Recent work by Balota and Shields [Psychonomic Soc. Conf. (1988)] suggests that factors intrinsic to words, such as their frequencies, may also affect the durations of spoken words. The present paper reports the results of a preliminary investigation of the effects of similarity neighborhood structure on speech production. Global, as well as segmental, comparisons of subjects' productions of words from dense and sparse lexical neighborhoods will be presented. [Research supported by NIH research grant NS-12179-11.] |
