“…The measures were made using waveform and spectrographic displays generated by PRAAT acoustic analysis software (version 4.4.30; Boersma and Weenink, 2006). The segmentation procedures described below followed those described by prior studies (Peterson and Lehiste, 1960;Klatt, 1976;Lahiri and Hankamer, 1988;Hankamer et al, 1989;Ham, 2001) and applied to the measurement of Japanese stop sounds by Idemaru and Guion (2008) and Idemaru and Guion-Anderson (2010).…”

Speech categories are defined by multiple acoustic dimensions, and listeners give differential weighting to dimensions in phonetic categorization. The informativeness (predictive strength) of dimensions for categorization is considered an important factor in determining perceptual weighting. However, it is unknown how the perceptual system weighs acoustic dimensions with similar informativeness. This study investigates perceptual weighting of two acoustic dimensions with similar informativeness, exploiting the absolute and relative durations that are nearly equivalent in signaling Japanese singleton and geminate stop categories. In the perception experiments, listeners showed strong individual differences in their perceptual weighting of absolute and relative durations. Furthermore, these individual patterns were stable over repeated testing across as long as 2 months and were resistant to perturbation through short-term manipulation of speech input. Listeners own speech productions were not predictive of how they weighted relative and absolute duration. Despite the theoretical advantage of relative (as opposed to absolute) duration cues across contexts, relative cues are not utilized by all listeners. Moreover, examination of individual differences in cue weighting is a useful tool in exposing the complex relationship between perceptual cue weighting and language regularities.

“…Češće se udvojeni suglasnici u Berčićevu zborniku bilježe u domaćim riječima u kojima su mogli postati na dva načina: ulančavanjem i jednačenjem (usp. LAHIRI;HANKAMER 1988;prema MIHALJEVIĆ 2008: 44). Udvojeni suglasnici nastali ulančavanjem potvrđeni su gotovo isključivo na granici korijena i sufiksa, kao u (40), a među njima se uglavnom redovito bilježi apo-strof.…”

In this paper, the phonological features of the Miscellany from Berčić Collection No. 5 (15th century) and the Fatević Miscellany of spiritual texts (1617) are analysed and mutually compared. In addition, the situation in both miscellanies is compared with the results of previous research of the phonological features of Croatian liturgical glagolitic texts and with the situation in other non-liturgical miscellanies. The analysis shows that mixing of the Church Slavonic and Croatian (Chakavian) elements is attested at the phonological level in both miscellanies, with Croatian (Chakavian) features being more frequent in both miscellanies, particularly in the younger Fatević’s Miscellany. The Ikavian-Ekavian reflex of jat with the prevalence of Ikavian examples and the change ę > a after ļ, which is preceded by the change of the root consonant cluster kl > kļ, provides a reliable indication that both miscellanies could have been written in the Zadar region, i.e. in the southern middle-Chakavian region.

“…It could as well be the case that segments preceding geminates are shortened. Many languages such as Bengali [19], Berber [2], and Italian [20] shorten pregeminate segments. This might explain the shortening of the word-final geminate in G#G, resulting in only 22 ms duration difference with S#G (i.e.…”
