Apparent-time variation in the use of multiple cues for perception of anticipatory nasal coarticulation in California English
Paper · 2024 · Georgia Zellou and Michelle Cohn
Summary
Zellou and Cohn ask whether Californians of different ages draw on the same acoustic evidence when they hear a vowel that anticipates an upcoming nasal consonant. Earlier work had found that some younger California speakers barely nasalize such vowels. In the experiment, 89 listeners aged 18–58 were split into three birth-year cohorts. They heard syllables cut from CVN and CVC words, with the final consonant removed, and had to guess which word was meant. The six talkers were taken from Zellou (2022): three produced heavy anticipatory coarticulation and three produced very little. Coarticulation showed up as more nasality, a wider F1 bandwidth and more diphthongization.
Every age group was near ceiling on the extensive talkers and on oral vowels. For the minimal talkers' nasalized vowels, accuracy was worst among the oldest listeners and rose in younger cohorts. Cue-weighting models explain the gap: older listeners leaned on F1 bandwidth, and younger ones leaned on acoustic nasality. The authors read this as gradual perceptual cue reweighting across generations. They see it as a possible route to sound change, not as simple misperception.
Key points
- The study used 89 listeners aged 18–58, grouped into three apparent-time categories by year of birth.
- Stimuli came from six California English undergraduate talkers aged 18–20 reading words. Three were "Minimal Coarticulators" and three were "Extensive Coarticulators", a classification taken from Zellou (2022).
- Three coarticulatory cues were analysed: vowel nasalization, F1 bandwidth and diphthongization. Measurements from several time points within each vowel were collapsed into one value, and the authors list this as a limitation.
- The only condition that separated the age groups was the Minimal Coarticulators' nasalized vowels. Accuracy there rose from older to younger listeners, while all other conditions were at ceiling.
- Data, models and code are on OSF (doi 10.17605/OSF.IO/E5BW2). The work was funded by NSF grant BCS-2140183.
Interesting ideas
- I1. The coda was cut off so listeners could rely only on anticipatory cues, which shows what they can infer once the explicit trigger is gone.
- I2. Because most conditions sat at ceiling, the age differences only became visible in the single hard condition built from innovative talkers.
- I3. Rather than reporting accuracy alone, the authors estimated how heavily each acoustic cue drove each group's decisions, revealing different strategies behind similar outcomes.
- I4. Younger listeners coped with both the old and the new pronunciation patterns because their cue weighting was more flexible, while older listeners failed on the new variant.
For Mova
How these ideas could serve Mova, our small open language model — its files, stages and tests:
- I1 (learn): Use "remove the explicit marker" stimuli as negative controls, for example deleting a conjunction or case cue, to see whether a component truly uses the redundant earlier evidence.
- I2 (answer): Report accuracy separately on a deliberately difficult slice, such as unusual phrasings, so that all-at-ceiling aggregate scores do not hide real differences between system versions.
- I3 (tree): Compare feature-weight profiles of the perceptron parser and gparse, or of different training rounds, to explain why they diverge on particular constructions.
- I4 (tokens): Test the tagger and lemmatizer on both conservative and innovative variants of word forms, so that over-reliance on a single cue does not break recognition of newer usage.
