Vowel Categories

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate how the distinctive establishment of 2nd language (L2) vowel categories (e.g., how distinctively an L2 vowel is established from nearby L2 vowels and from the native language counterpart in the 1st formant [F1] × 2nd formant [F2] vowel space) affected L2 vowel perception. Method Identification of 12 natural English monophthongs, and categorization and rating of synthetic English vowels /i/ and /ɪ/ in the F1 × F2 space were measured for Chinese-native (CN) and English-native (EN) listeners. CN listeners were also examined with categorization and rating of Chinese vowels in the F1 × F2 space. Results As expected, EN listeners significantly outperformed CN listeners in English vowel identification. Whereas EN listeners showed distinctive establishment of 2 English vowels, CN listeners had multiple patterns of L2 vowel establishment: both, 1, or neither established. Moreover, CN listeners' English vowel perception was significantly related to the perceptual distance between the English vowel and its Chinese counterpart, and the perceptual distance between the adjacent English vowels. Conclusions L2 vowel perception relied on listeners' capacity to distinctively establish L2 vowel categories that were distant from the nearby L2 vowels.

Peripheral Origin

AbstractThis paper discusses the possibility of a localized peripheral origin of tinnitus. A working hypothesis is that tinnitus represents either aperiodic or periodic hyperactivity in the spontaneous activity of nerve fibers originating from a restricted place on the basilar membrane. The limited physiological data available support both hyperactive and hypoactive nerve fiber. Psychophysical data are not easy to interpret. Subjective descriptions and category scaling are too dependent on individual experience. Pitch matching can be reliable, but cannot distinguish between peripheral or central tinnitus. In one experiment we compared the masking of tinnitus to the masking of a pure tone, where the signal frequency and level were obtained from the tinnitus pitch and loudness matching. The results indicate that the broad tinnitus masking patterns are not typically due to the poor frequency resolution observed in sensorineural hearing loss. However, in a few subjects there was some correspondence between the shape of the tuning curve and the tinnitus masking pattern. In another study, we masked tinnitus with narrowband noises of different bandwidths. In some patients, there was a ‘critical bandwidth’ effect; wider masker bandwidths required greater overall sound pressures to mask the tinnitus. We conclude that the results from these studies taken together indicate that there are different types of tinnitus, some of which may have a localized peripheral origin.
