Distinctive features: Phonological underspecification in representation and processing
Aditi Lahiri,Henning Reetz +1 more
TLDR
It is claimed that phonological features are extracted from the variable acoustic signal based on broad acoustic properties and a three-way matching algorithm maps these features onto highly abstract phonological mental representations.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the supplementary motor area for speech and language processing.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the SMA has various superordinate control functions during speech communication and language reception, which is particularly relevant in case of increased task demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Encoding of Speech Sounds in the Superior Temporal Gyrus
TL;DR: A theory that temporally recurrent connections within STG generate context-dependent phonological representations, spanning longer temporal sequences relevant for coherent percepts of syllables, words, and phrases is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
“What you encode is not necessarily what you store”: Evidence for sparse feature representations from mismatch negativity.
TL;DR: Whether vowels embedded in complex stimuli may possess underspecified representations in the mental lexicon is examined and derived pseudowords are used for investigating phonological effects by means of MMN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast phonetic learning occurs already in 2-to-3-month old infants. An ERP study
TL;DR: An effect of distributional training found in previous behavioral research is extended to a much younger age when speech perception is still universal rather than language-specific, and to a new method (using event-related potentials).
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetries in the Processing of Vowel Height
TL;DR: The results are taken to reflect an abstract long-term representation of vowels that do not include redundant specifications at very early stages of processing the speech signal.

The Sound Pattern of English
Noam Chomsky,Morris Halle +1 more
TL;DR: Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language.
Journal ArticleDOI
The motor theory of speech perception revised
TL;DR: A motor theory of speech perception, initially proposed to account for results of early experiments with synthetic speech, is now extensively revised to accommodate recent findings, and to relate the assumptions of the theory to those that might be made about other perceptual modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geometry of phonological features
TL;DR: The apparently vast number of speech sounds found in the languages of the world turn out to be surface-level realisations of a limited number of combinations of a very small set of such features – some twenty or so, in current analyses.
Book
Preliminaries to Speech Analysis: The Distinctive Features and Their Correlates
TL;DR: The authors describes the ultimate discrete components of language, their specific structure, and their articulatory, acoustic, and perceptual correlates, and surveys their utilization in the language of the world, and presents an added paper on Tenseness and Laxness.
Reference BookDOI
The handbook of phonological theory
TL;DR: Odden et al. as mentioned in this paper discuss the interaction between Morphology and Phonology, and the place of variation in Phonological Theory, as well as using psychological realism to advance the understanding of morphology and phonology.
