Syntax is not unique to human language–the Japanese great tits “speak” in phrases too
Syntax human language Japanese great speak phrases
2016/3/8
Language is one of humans’ most important defining characteristics. It allows us to generate innumerable expressions from a finite number of vocal elements and meanings, and underlies the evolution of...
Kuroda (1979) argues that Japanese ni yotte passives are derived by
movement of an underlying internal argument to subject position. The socalled
syntactic passive pattern in Korean, derived with th...
Korean and Japanese share cognate vocabulary, at least some of it the
result of contact. Recent advances in the reconstruction of the vowel system
of Proto-Japanese (including Ryûkyûan) en...
Predicting native English-like performance by native Japanese speakers
English-like performance native Japanese speakers
2015/6/23
This study tested the predictions of the Speech Learning Model (SLM, Flege, 1988) on the case of native Japanese (NJ) speakers’ perception and production of English /a/ and /l/. NJ speakers’ degree of...
Can native Japanese listeners learn to differentiate /r–l/ on the basis of F3 onset frequency?
/r–l/ second language speech perception training
2015/6/23
Many attempts have been made to teach native Japanese listeners to perceptually differentiate English /r–l/ (e.g. rock–lock).Though improvement is evident, in no case is final performance native Engli...
Success and failure in teaching the [r]–[l] contrast to Japanese adults:Tests of a Hebbian model of plasticity and stabilization in spoken language perception
Success and failure [r]–[l] Japanese adults Hebbian model plasticity and stabilization spoken language perception
2015/6/19
A Hebbian model of learning predicts that adults may be able to acquire a nonnative speech contrast if they are trained with stimuli that are exaggerated to make them perceptually distinct. To test th...
Grammatical theory has long wrestled with the fact that causative constructions exhibit properties of both single words and complex phrases. However, as Paul Kiparsky has observed, the distribution of...
ACOUSTIC AND ARTICULATORY ANALYSIS ON CHINESE AND JAPANESE VOWELS IN EMOTIONAL SPEECH
Vowel articulation Emotion Acoustic EMA NDI Wave System
2015/5/21
This research investigated the articulatory and acoustic cues of the emotional vowels from produc¬tion/ coding perspectives. Chinese and Japanese emotional speech and EMA data were recorded. The a...
Order in NP conjuncts in spoken English and Japanese
Language production Word/phrase order Cross-linguistic English Japanese
2015/5/5
In the emerging field of cross-linguistic studies on language production, one particularly interesting line of inquiry is possible differences between English and Japanese in ordering words and phrase...
High stimulus variability in nonnative speech learning supports formation of abstract categories: Evidence from Japanese geminates
High stimulus variability nonnative speech learning abstract categories Japanese geminates
2015/4/24
This study reports effects of a high-variability training procedure on nonnative learning of a Japanese geminate-singleton fricative contrast. Thirty native speakers of Dutch took part in a 5-day trai...
L1–L2 convergence in clausal packaging in Japanese and English
convergence L1–L2 motion events bilingual second language acquisition (SLA)
2015/4/24
This study investigates L1–L2 convergence among bilinguals at an intermediate (CEFR-B2) level of L2 proficiency, focusing on the clausal packaging of Manner and Path of motion. Previous research has s...
Intonational Structure as a Wordboundary Cue in Tokyo Japanese
accentual phrase boundary intonation pitch accent word segmentation
2015/4/9
While listeners are recognizing words from the connected speech stream, they are also parsing information from the intonational contour. This contour may contain cues to word boundaries, particularly ...
Competition in the Perception of Spoken Japanese Words
spoken-word recognition Japanese vowels devoicing competition
2015/4/8
Japanese listeners detected Japanese words embedded at the end of nonsense sequences (e.g., kaba 'hippopotamus' in gyachikaba). When the final portion of the preceding context together with the initia...
Vowel devoicing and the perception of spoken Japanese words
Vowel devoicing spoken Japanese words
2015/4/7
Three experiments, in which Japanese listeners detected Japanese words embedded in nonsense sequences, examined the perceptual consequences of vowel devoicing in that language. Since vowelless sequenc...
Language-specific and universal influences in children's syntactic packaging of manner and path: A comparison of English, Japanese, and Turkish. Cognition
Language-specific universal influences
2015/3/30
Different languages map semantic elements of spatial relations onto different lexical and syntactic units. These crosslinguistic differences raise important questions for language development in terms...
