Recent research on the acoustic realization of affixes has revealed differences between
phonologically homophonous affixes, eg the different kinds of final [s] and [z] in English …

This study explores the effects of informational redundancy, as carried by a word's
morphological paradigmatic structure, on acoustic duration in read aloud speech. The …

We examine the relationship of lexical representations, pronunciation variation, and word
recognition, by investigating effects of two lexical variables: Phonological Neighborhood …

In two experiments, we studied the role of frequency information in the production of
deverbal adjectives and inflected verbs in Dutch. Naming latencies were triggered in a …

This dissertation investigates the effects of phonological neighborhoods on pronunciation
variation in conversational speech. Phonological neighbors are defined as words that are …

Spoken word recognition is influenced by words similar to the target word with one phoneme
difference (neighbors). In English, words with many neighbors (high neighborhood density) …

This project explores three classes of human action through an investigation of long-
distance coarticulation, defined here as the articulatory influence of one phonetic element …

Based on a diverse and complementary set of theoretical and empirical findings, we
describe an approach to phonology in which sound patterns are shaped by the trade-off …

Background: Malayalam geminates exhibit an extensive threeway place contrast in the
intervocalic context which gives rise to V1t̪ːV2, V1t̠ːV2, and V1ʈːV2 sequences. In …

The precise pronunciation of speech sounds is highly variable even within the speech of a
single individual. A complete theory of phonetic realization must account for this variability …
