During fast speech, segments tend to shorten compared to normal or slow speech, potentially blurring the distinctions between long and short segments. In this presentation, I will discuss the results of two recent perception studies conducted on Daejeon Korean. One study focuses on non-low back vowels, while the other explores stop laryngeal contrasts. These studies aim to shed light on how listeners adapt to changes in speech rate when ongoing sound changes potentially neutralize the duration-based cues related to the target contrasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Yoonjung Kang (UToronto) Title: Speech Rate Accommodation under Sound Change in progress: Case Studies from Daejeon Korean Time:\u00a0Friday, November 3rd, 3:30pm \u0096 5pm Location:\u00a032-141 Abstract: Variation in speech rate is a common characteristic of speech and serves as a significant source of synchronic variation and potential sound change.
