Abstract
Mismatch negativity response parameters; latency, amplitude, and duration – to natural Arabic and natural English CV syllables – were obtained from normal-hearing adult Egyptians, in two experiments. In the first experiment, MMN was obtained in response to English CV syllable paradigms (Ba–Wa) and (Ga–Da) differing in formant duration and start of third formant, respectively. In the second experiment, MMN response for Arabic paradigm (Baa–Waa), English paradigm (Ba–Wa), and for Arabic–English paradigm (Waa–Wa) was obtained. Results revealed that the three levels of speech representation; acoustic, phonetic and phonologic could be probed preattentatively by MMN. The acoustic properties of speech signal are processed earlier than the phonetic and phonologic properties.
