\nTitle: Compression effects, perceptual asymmetries, and the grammar of timing
\nTime: Friday 2\/11, 3:30-5pm, 32-D831<\/P><\/p>\n
\nThis paper examines the nature of the information that is relevant to speech timing and the
\nconsequences of this domain for phonetic\/phonological theory. We report the results of two
\nEnglish experiments on timing and perception. The first experiment demonstrates asymmetries in
\ntiming between consonants and vowels, which depend on the manner of the consonant. The
\nsecond experiment shows that these asymmetries in speech production are mirrored by
\nperceptual asymmetries among consonants with different manner features. We argue that these
\nphenomena are best described in terms of auditory recoverability. A formal analysis is developed
\nusing weighted, gradiently-violable constraints on segment and syllable duration. Because the
\nconstraints make reference to the auditory features of segments, the analysis can derive the
\nrelationship between asymmetries in speech production and asymmetries in speech perception.
\nThe patterns of timing discovered here appear to interact in limited ways with systems of
\nphonological contrast. We incorporate the duration constraints proposed here into a phoneticallydriven
\nmodel of phonology, examining the predictions that such an approach makes about
\nphonological typology<\/P><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Friday, there will be a special meeting of the Phonology Circle, featuring a talk by Jonah Katz.
