The Study on Asymmetry between Acoustics and Perception of the Temporal Cues of English Plosives

영어파열음 시구간신호의 음향과 지각 비대칭성 연구

This study tests the hypothesis that the voiced-voiceless distinction is influenced by the relationship between acoustics and perception. Production and perception tests are conducted with temporal cues in different environments(CV, VCV, VC). The result showed that acoustic cues indicating significant difference between voiceless/voiced plosives do not behave just as do in perception. The result also showed that there existed an asymmetry between acoustics and perception.
