RECOGNITION OF THREE MAGNITUDES OF INTERPHONEMIC TRANSITIONAL INFLUENCE

摘要

This study was done to see if recognition of nonsense syllables could be related to the magnitude of interphonemic transitional influence. Monosyllabic nonsense syllables were structured by combining consonants and vowels, with respect to hub location, to effect three discrete magnitudes of transition, namely, (l) Minimum, (2) Medium, and (3) Maximum categories. CV, VC, and CVC syllable forms afforded (a) double representation of each magnitude by each sound combination within each list of syllables, and (b) equal representation of magnitudes as to location of transition with respect to the vowel.
