The articulation of morphologically complex words

该项目在第一个资助期内的目标是研究编码形态信息的发音过程及其与词汇能力的关系。我们发现，后缀形态改变语音编码，甚至在干和扬声器变得更有能力这样做，随着熟练程度的提高。在与VAR项目的联合研究中，我们通过NDL计算建模的词尾S的持续时间。我们的研究结果表明，发音过程调制的语音信号和形态意义之间的关系是如何学习的speakers.The ART项目的第二阶段的目的是巩固在该项目的第一阶段获得的结果，通过复制EMA使用超声波录音和调查EMA录音在KEC语料库的自发德语会话。超声波，以及在自发语音的清晰度的研究是必不可少的生态有效性评估目前的结果，这都是在实验室条件下使用轻微侵入性的记录技术。 该项目还将扩大其范围，通过研究发音丰富的曲折语言，波兰语，并通过扩展与NDL的语音生产的计算建模，例如，新西兰英语，以及在德国的谐音指数。

The objective of the project for the first funding period was to investigate articulatory processes encoding morphological information, and their relation to lexical proficiency. We found that suffixal morphology changes the phonetic encoding even in the stem and that speakers become more capable to do so with increased proficiency. In a joint study with project VAR, we computationally modeled durations of word-final S by means of NDL. Our findings indicate that articulatory processes are modulated by how well the relation between the phonetic signal and morphological meaning is learned by speakers.The second phase of the ART project aims to consolidate the results obtained in the first phase of the project by replicating the results obtained with EMA using ultrasound recordings and by investigating EMA recordings in the KEC corpus of spontaneous German conversations. Ultrasound, as well as the study of articulation in spontaneous speech are essential for assessing the ecological validity of the present results, which were all obtained in laboratory conditions using a slightly invasive recording technique. The project will also broaden its scope by studying articulation in a richly inflecting language, Polish, and by extending the computational modeling of speech production with NDL to, for instance, New Zealand English, as well as to homophonic exponents in German.
