Abstract

Native speakers of American English identified the consonants and vowels of American English CV and VC syllables and the vowels of hVd syllables. The CV and VC syllables, consisting of all of the English consonant phonemes, were selected from recordings described by Shannon et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106, L71–L74 (1999)], and the hVd syllables were selected from recordings described by Hillenbrand et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97, 3623–3641 (1995)]. All syllables were presented binaurally in signal-correlated noise. The resulting confusion matrices and feature analyses will be presented along with a position (initial versus final) analysis for the consonant results. The consonant and vowel results will be used to derive empirical measures of similarity of English words. [Work supported by NIH/NIDCD.]
