How consonants and vowels shape spoken-language recognition
T Nazzi, A Cutler - Annual Review of Linguistics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
All languages instantiate a consonant/vowel contrast. This contrast has processing
consequences at different levels of spoken-language recognition throughout the lifespan. In …

The what and when of universal perception: A review of early speech sound acquisition
The young universal listener is an established concept in psycholinguistics. However, it is
unclear what abilities universal perception entails and at what age it exists. This article aims …

Developmental change in English‐learning children's interpretations of salient pitch contours in word learning
To efficiently recognize words, children learning an intonational language like English
should avoid interpreting pitch‐contour variation as signaling lexical contrast, despite the …
