This paper aims to investigate acoustic variation of (kh) in Fai Mun village Phuan, Pa Kha sub-district, Tha Wang Pha district, Nan province among 3 age groups. The informants are divided into three groups based on their age: the first group is 60 years and above, the second group is
In this paper, we present a statistical and machine learning approach to the acoustic discrimination of a cross-linguistically unusual phonological contrast, initial geminates vs. singletons in Pattani Malay. We show that the only statistically significant difference between geminates and singletons is the duration of the consonant itself. No differences in
This study aims to analyze formant frequencies of Thai vowels and suggests vowel formant frequency normalization suitable for acoustic characteristics of Thai vowels. The used method is S-centroid procedure (Watt & Fabricius, 2002), which is an algorithm for a sociophonetic study. The first and second formant frequencies of Thai long
We present two auditory-auditory priming experiments investigating whether decomposition effects for pseudo- related prime-target pairs like corner → CORN are restricted to early visual word recognition [10] or can also be found in auditory processing. Experiment 1 shows no difference in facilitation effects for pseudo-suffixed pairs and purely phonologically-related pairs
This paper presents new data on the semantic interaction between gradable predicates and the Thai particle kʰɯ̂n. When the particle composes with rɔ́ːn (hot) and nǎːw (cold), it describes temperature increases and decreases, respectively, in much the same way as English get hotter and get colder. However, when it composes
We present results from two auditory experiments that examine priming effects for pseudo-derived pairs of words (e.g., corner-corn), as compared to morphologically, phonologically, and semantically related pairs. Previous work shows facilitation for pseudo-derived pairs in a visual masked priming paradigm; our Experiment 1 presents the novel finding that these effects
