Abstract
Perceptual processing of speech has been frequently studied using analyses of consonant recognition errors. Typically, nonsense CV or VC syllables are used as stimulus materials. Nonsense consonant clusters constitute a class of sounds that are largely devoid of semantic context, yet they represent a higher level of phonological organization. Consequently, the recognition of these sounds may reflect processing levels that are not involved in the perception of simpler stimuli. In the present study, consonant clusters (CCV or CCCV in /a/ vowel context), as well as their singletone members, were presented to listeners against a background noise at 10, 5, and 0 dB S/N. The results show systematic trends in terms of the frequency and the patterns of recognition errors. In general, the proportion of substitutions, additions, and deletions resemble the pattern of errors observed in production errors of consonant clusters. These and further results will be presented and discussed at the meeting.
