The first phase of the Research Unit has documented traces of a word’s morphological structure in the acoustic signal in English. The goal of this project is to obtain more information about the role of morphology in general and of morpho-phonetic traces in particular in speech processing. So far, we know very little about why and how the speaker produces morpho-phonetic traces and how listeners understand morphologically complex words, produced with or without morpho-phonetic traces. As a consequence, we cannot design full theories of morphological processing.The project consists of two subprojects. In the first subproject, a PhD student will conduct corpus research and experimental research on morpho-phonetic traces in several registers. In addition, this student will conduct experimental research on whether morpho-phonetic traces may affect speech processing, and if so how. This subproject focusses on Dutch in order to extend the evidence on morphological effects in speech processing to another language and it will thus provide more information about the similarity of these effects across languages.The second subproject investigates the role of morphology in general, and of morphological acoustic traces in particular, in auditory word comprehension, by investigating what properties a computational model of auditory word comprehension needs to have in order to well simulate human listeners’ processing of morphologically complex words. The focus will be on the computational models that represent two very different types of architecture: DIANA and Naïve Discriminative Learning. The subproject aims at the simulation of human listeners’ behaviour as documented in several existing datasets of word comprehension tasks.

研究股的第一阶段记录了英语声学信号中一个词的形态结构的痕迹。这个项目的目标是获得更多关于词法的一般作用的信息，特别是关于形态-语音痕迹在语音处理中的作用的信息。到目前为止，我们对说话人为什么以及如何产生形音痕迹，以及听者如何理解复杂的词形，无论有没有形音痕迹，都知之甚少。因此，我们无法设计完整的形态处理理论。该项目由两个子项目组成。在第一个分项目中，一名博士生将在几个语域中进行语料库研究和语音痕迹的实验研究。此外，这名学生还将进行实验研究，探讨音素痕迹是否会影响语音处理，如果会，又是如何影响的。第二个子项目通过研究听觉词汇理解的计算模型需要具备哪些属性来很好地模拟人类对复杂词汇的处理，从而研究了词汇的一般作用，特别是形态声学痕迹在听觉单词理解中的作用。重点将放在代表两种截然不同的建筑类型的计算模型上：戴安娜和幼稚的鉴别性学习。这个子项目旨在模拟人类听者的行为，正如现有的几个单词理解任务的数据集中所记录的那样。
