| Sumario: | This experiment used an identification task in order to test the role of unmodified and manipulated phonetic cues of the English glottal stop [ʔ] and the alveolar lateral [l], both preceded and followed by vowels. Because perceptual metathesis involves some sort of categorical knowledge in that listeners’ reinterpret a CV sequence as VC or vice versa, a labelling task was chosen. Another possibility for testing metathesis could be an AXB discrimination task (matching- to-sample). However, simplicity and reducing time of the experiment and stress on the participant (less memory intensive) were prioritized factors. Moreover, an identification task seems to be more appropriate for the purpose of this study: given a CV sequence with an ambiguous cue that extends across an adjacent vowel, do listeners perceive and categorize it as CV or VC? |
