| Abstract(in English) | Perceptual sensitivity to temporal modification in two consecutive speech segments was measured in word contexts to explore the following two questions: (1) do temporal modifications on multiple segments perceptually affect each other, and (2) what sort of stimulus context correlates with the perceptually salient temporal markers. The perceptual experiment utilized an acceptability rating of temporal unnaturalness for words with temporal modifications. The results showed that a vowel (V) duration and its adjacent consonant (C) duration can perceptually compensate each other. This finding demonstrates the presence of a time perception range wider than a single segment (V or C). The results of also showed that rating scores for compensatory modification between V and C do not depend on the temporal order of modified pairs (V-to-C or C-to-V), but rather on the loudness difference between V and C; the acceptability decreased when the loudness difference between V and C became high. This suggests that perceptually salient markers locate around major loudness jumps. |
