Status Report on Speech Research, 1 April-30 June 1981.

Abstract

This report is one of a regular series on the status and progress of studies on the nature of speech, instrumentation for its investigation, and practical applications. Manuscripts cover the following topics: Electromyography as a technique for laryngeal investigation; Investigation of the phonatory mechanism; Phonetic perception of sinusoidal signals -- Effects of amplitude variation; Memory for item order and phonetic recoding in the beginning reader; Perceptual equivalence of two kinds of ambiguous speech stimuli; Producing relatively unfamiliar speech gestures -- A synthesis of perceptual targets and production rules; Orthographic variations and visual information processing; Visual word recognition in Serbo-Croatian is necessarily phonological; Word recognition with mixed-alphabet forms; Intra- versus inter-language Stroop effects in two types of writing systems; Categorical perception of English /r/ and /l/ by Japanese bilinguals; Influence of vocalic context on perception of the (sh)-(s) distinction: V.
