The effect of a preceding fricative on the perceived place of stop consonant articulation was studied in humans. Synthetic syllables from 2 [tV]-[kV] continua were preceded fricative noises appropriate to [.intg.] or [s] and showed that more velar stops are perceived in the context of [s]. Experiment (exp) 1 demonstrated a decrease in the magnitude of this perceptual context effect with increased temporal separation of fricative noise and CV (consonant-vowel) portion and with introduction of a vowel before the noise, which permitted a subjective syllable boundary after the fricative. Exp 2 showed that although the effect of the fricative on stop perception declines initially with temporal separation, it may persist in reduced form over intervals as long as 375 ms. Exp 3 replicated the basic fricative context effect using improved stimuli but failed to replicate the reduction with an intervening syllable boundary obtained in exp 1, which presumably was due to the vowel preceding the fricative. Exp 4 and 5 revealed that the fricative context depends on the phonetic category assigned to the fricative and on the specific spectral properties of the fricative noise. Exp 5 also revealed a reciprocal effect of the stop consonant on fricative identification. It was hypothesized that these perceptual effects serve to compensate for coarticulatory dependencies between stop consonants and preceding fricatives.
