Categorical features in speech perception and production

L Goldstein

    The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

    PubMed
    Summary

    This study reveals three consistent dimensions—voicing, stop/fricative, and place of articulation—underlying English consonant confusions in speech production and perception. These findings highlight key phonetic features in speech sound processing.

    Area of Science:

    • Phonetics and Phonology
    • Speech Science
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Understanding consonant confusions is crucial for speech production and perception models.
    • Previous research has explored various aspects of speech sound errors and perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze English consonant confusions using multidimensional scaling.
    • To identify reliable underlying dimensions in speech production and perception errors.
    • To compare findings across different types of consonant confusions.

    Main Methods:

    • Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis was applied to three types of consonant confusion data: spontaneous speech errors, CV perceptual confusions, and VC perceptual confusions.
    • Two datasets for each confusion type were analyzed to ensure reliability.
    • Phonological features were used to represent consonant configurations.

    Main Results:

    • Three reliable dimensions consistently emerged across all datasets: voicing, manner of articulation (stop/fricative), and place of articulation.
    • These dimensions capture commonalities in consonant perception and production.
    • While categorical phonological features provide a general description, specific details within each data type are not fully captured by these features alone.

    Conclusions:

    • Voicing, manner, and place of articulation are fundamental dimensions in English consonant confusion.
    • Categorical phonological features effectively describe commonalities but may not encompass all nuances of speech sound processing.
    • Speech sound perception and production involve complex interactions of phonetic features.
