在4个跨语言的实验比较法国和日本的听众，我们发现，日本的音序属性（音节类型的减少集）诱导日本听众感知“虚幻”的元音辅音群内的元音在元音-辅音-辅音-元音（VCCV）的刺激。在实验1和2中，连续的刺激范围从没有元音（例如，ebzo）到辅音之间的全元音（例如，ebuzo）。日本人（而不是法国人）报告说，即使在没有元音的刺激中，辅音之间也存在元音[u]。在实验3和4中使用了加速ABX辨别范式，并发现日本参与者难以区分VCCV和VCuCV刺激。相比之下，法国的参与者在区分元音长度不同的项目（ebuzo与ebunzo）方面存在问题，这在日语中是一个鲜明的对比，而在法语中则不是。它的结论是，模型的语音感知进行了修订，以考虑到基于音位结构的同化。
In 4 cross-linguistic experiments comparing French and Japanese Listeners, we found that the phonotactic properties of Japanese (a reduced set of syllable types) induce Japanese listeners to perceive "illusory" vowels inside consonant clusters in vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel (VCCV) stimuli. In Experiments 1 and 2, a continuum of stimuli ranging from no vowel (e.g., ebzo) to a full vowel between the consonants (e.g., ebuzo) was used. Japanese, but not French participants, reported the presence of a vowel [u] between consonants, even in stimuli with no vowel. A speeded ABX discrimination paradigm was used in Experiments 3 and 4 and revealed that Japanese participants had trouble discriminating between VCCV and VCuCV stimuli. French participants, in contrast, had problems discriminating items that differed in vowel length (ebuzo vs. ebunzo), a distinctive contrast in Japanese bur not in French. It is concluded that models of speech perception have to be revised to account for phonotactically based assimilations.
