Fast speech rates cause syllable structure changes. While coda consonants become onset consonants, subtle durational differences persist between CV and VC syllables, impacting speech perception.

Area of Science:

  • Phonetics and Speech Science
  • Experimental Phonetics
  • Articulatory Phonology

Background:

  • Pioneering work by Stetson (1951) suggested coda consonants resyllabify as onset consonants during rapid speech.
  • Understanding syllable structure and its adaptation to speech rate is crucial for phonological theory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate and investigate Stetson's (1951) findings on speech rate adaptation.
  • To examine durational patterns and perceptual outcomes of CV and VC syllables at varying speech rates.

Main Methods:

  • Speakers produced repeated CV and VC syllables paced by a metronome with systematically decreasing period.
  • Acoustic analysis of syllable duration and acoustic cues was performed on recorded speech tokens.

Main Results:

  • Syllable durational patterns for CV and VC syllables converged at faster speech rates.
  • Despite convergence, distinct durational differences between CV and VC tokens persisted at fast rates.
  • Fast rate tokens, though distinct, were often perceived as CV syllables.

Conclusions:

  • Speech rate significantly affects syllable organization and durational patterns.
  • Persistent acoustic differences between CV and VC syllables exist even when perceived as CV.
  • Findings contribute to understanding syllable structure, rate adaptation, and speech perception.
