Acoustic–phonetic and auditory mechanisms of adaptation in the perception of sibilant fricatives

摘要

Variation and covariation of talker-specific center-of-gravity (COG) means (in hertz) between (a) /s/ and /z/, (b) /s/ and /v/, (c) /ʃ/ and /z/, and (d) ⁠/ʃ/ and /v/ in the Jongman et al. ( ) data. The COG means for male talkers are shown as triangles, and those for female talkers as circles in a different color. Pearson correlation coefficients are displayed in the lower right corner; an asterisk indicates that the correlation was significant at < .01. Gray shading reflects the local confidence interval around the best-fit linear regression line; the dashed line reflects the line of equality; and the marginal histograms indicate the range of talker variation for each segment separately
