Swedish with a Capital [s] : Investigating the Difference Between Reading and Spontaneous SpeechCavallo, Sveva Giulia Mariapaola January 2024 (has links)
The literature on the influence of L2 orthography on abilingual’s pronunciation allows one to make predictions on what features of L2 pronunciation are likely to be impacted by it. This paper analyses the speech of 10 L1 Swedish L2 English late bilinguals performing one reading task and two tasks involving free speech in English. The speakers were predicted to realize /z/ as [s] when <s> represented /z/. All instances of /z/ spelled <s> were retrieved and transcribed in PRAAT. The number of substitutions for each speaker was calculated as a proportion of the total number of instances separately for reading and spontaneous speech. A 2-sample two-tailed z-test for proportions (p<0.05) was used to assess whether the two proportions were different. No difference was found in all speakers. This suggests that the degree of orthographic influence is fixed regardless of the presence of immediate orthographic input. Previous studies’ findings have contradicted these results, and this is discussed as a result of this study’s data containing connected speech as opposed to isolated words and phrases.

Orthographic effects on speech processing: studies on the conditions of occurrence/Les effets orthographiques sur le traitement de la parole: études sur leurs conditions d'occurrencePattamadilok, Chotiga 11 March 2006 (has links)
My doctoral research addressed two questions regarding the influence of orthographic knowledge on speech processing. First, I attempted to identify the locus of the orthographic effects observed in spoken word recognition tasks in which the orthographic consistency and the congruency between the phonological and orthographic representations of the stimuli were manipulated. Several studies provided converging results suggesting that only phonological representations activated at lexical or postlexical processing levels are affected by orthographic knowledge, while those activated at prelexical levels are not. However, the lexical processing level is not the only factor that determines the occurrence and/or the size of the orthographic effects. Regardless of the processing level tapped by the task, the characteristics of the material and the way in which participants perform the tasks also play an important role. Second, I examined the generality of the orthographic effects both in the suprasegmental domain and in the operation of working memory. Overall, the results showed orthographic effects in both situations./La question de l’influence des connaissances orthographiques sur le traitement de la parole a été abordée sous différents angles à travers les études menées dans le cadre de ma thèse de doctorat. Plus précisément, le locus des effets orthographiques a été examiné dans des tâches de reconnaissance de la parole grâce à une manipulation de la consistance orthographique et de la congruence entre les représentations phonologique et orthographique des stimuli. Les résultats obtenus convergent pour indiquer que seules les représentations phonologiques activées dans les situations qui exigent un traitement lexical et/ou post-lexical sont affectées par les représentations orthographiques. Cependant, l’occurrence et/ou la magnitude des effets orthographiques obtenus semblent dépendre également des caractéristiques du matériel et de la manière dont les participants effectuent la tâche. La question de la généralité des effets orthographiques a aussi été abordée : les effets orthographiques ont été démontrés d’une part dans le domaine suprasegmental (sur le ton lexical) et, d’autre part, dans le fonctionnement de la mémoire de travail.
