Speech disfluency has lately attracted considerable attention in the study of spontaneous speech. In one tradition, disfluencies are treated as the outcome of cognitive processes that run purely inside the speaker. In a second tradition, they are viewed as the result of certain strategies by which the speaker can have an effect on the addressees. This paper reviews our recent studies on disfluencies in Japanese spontaneous speech, putting particular emphasis on their functions in speech communication. Three studies, on word repetitions, fillers, and prolongation, are described in detail and discussed from the viewpoint of communicative strategies.

Korean has two types of alveolar fricatives called "lax" and "forced". We observed the acoustic characteristics of each type of fricative with a sound-spectrograph. At the beginning and in the middle point of the frictional period, both types of fricatives showed a similar spectral pattern: the main frequency component was observed to be higher than 5000Hz in many cases among both types of fricatives. At the final point of the frictional period, a low frequency component around F2 and/or F3 of the following vowel was observed in the lax fricative more often than in the forced one. However, our results suggested that the presence or absence of the low frequency component around F2 and/or F3 of the following vowel might not differentiate the two types of fricatives.

This study examines the patterns of F0, intensity and formants in the Seoul Korean vowels preceding and following lax, aspirated, and tense consonants (/ta/, /tha/, /t'a/, /tsa/, /tsha/, /ts'a/, /sa/, /s'a/, /ata/, /atha/, /at'a/, /atsa/, /atsha/, /ats'a/, /asa/, /as'a/). The results of acoustic analysis found that the patterns of F0 and F1 in the following vowels differ among lax, aspirated, and tense consonants in both the initial and the intervocalic positions. The differences between patterns are more apparent in the initial than in the intervocalic. However, it is reasonable to believe that the patterns of F0 have no influence on consonant judgment because the angles of inclinations were subtle. On the other hand, F1 of the tense consonants differ from those in the other consonants as they rise in the first half of the following vowels. This, therefore, suggests that the patterns of F1 can influence the perception judgments of the consonants examined in this study.

Budgerigars are small parrots and one of the most interesting behaviors in this species is vocal mimicry. This article briefly reviews studies of vocal behavior and the central nervous vocal control system of budgerigars. Other interesting characteristics of this species are behavioral contagion or imitation, and rhythmic synchronization to metronomic stimuli. All of these behaviors are involved in sensory-motor coordination and/or transforming sensory inputs to motor outputs. The neural and psychological substrates of these behaviors may have a link to one another and could give us insight into the biological basis and evolution of vocal learning and communication.

Beginners of Spanish whose L1 is Japanese often wonder if Spanish /y/ is similar to Japanese /y/ or to Japanese /zy/. Three perception experiments revealed that this Spanish phoneme admits a wide variety of palatal consonants as its allophones, that these consonants can be perceived by Japanese listeners sometimes as /y/ and sometimes as /zy/, or sometimes even as /gy/. In Spanish pronunciation and listening teaching, the instructor can advise Japanese learners of Spanish that they can use either Japanese /y/ or /zy/ to pronounce Spanish /y/, and that this Spanish consonant might sound like Japanese /gy/ in some occasions.

彝語系諸言語(チベット・ビルマ諸語)は,母音に緊喉・非緊喉の別をもつことで知られているが,緊喉母音生成の詳細な過程についての研究は,従来不十分なものであった。そこで本稿では,彝語系諸言語のうち,アシ・イ語及びノス・イ語に対して実施された音声分析結果をもとに,緊喉・非緊喉母音それぞれの特徴を示し,これを考察する。結果,本稿で取り上げた2言語においては,母音の緊喉に「咽頭化」と「喉頭化」の2タイプがあるとの結論に至った。

This paper examines the nature of filler speech in conversation by observing its five characteristics: untranslatability; unmistakability; essentiality/prohibitivity; capability of being "hopeless"; and privilegedness. Firstly, it is pointed out that no language's filler is rigidly translatable into other languages, which indicates that filler has a social as well as cognitive aspect. In order to integrate both aspects, we need a new socio-cognitive view of filler as a manifestation of the cognitive process the speaker is undergoing. The traditional view of conversational speech as an intentional act of transferring information cannot explain the facts of fillers, such as that fillers are inherently unmistakable for native speakers, that fillers look to be necessary/prohibited in accordance with situations, that fillers can be "hopeless," and that fillers can the privilege only of particular people of special status in the conversation.

In this paper, I show that pitch patterns influence native speakers of Korean in their perception of voiced and voiceless sounds in Japanese. It is shown that speakers of Korean, a language which does not have the contrast between voiced and voiceless sounds, rely on the difference of the pitch patterns rather than the voicing sounds. More specifically: 1. It was confirmed that, roughly speaking, higher pitch occurs in association with voiceless sounds, while lower pitch occurs in association with voiced sounds. 2. It was confirmed that Korean speakers have little problem perceiving voiceless sounds when they are accompanied by a clear high pitch, and voiced sounds when they are accompanied by a clear low pitch. In other cases, the rate of perception errors was high. 3. In a follow-up experiment, the pitch pattern of voiced sounds was substituted with that of their voiceless counterparts and that of voiceless sounds with that of their voiced counterparts. The results showed that Korean speakers are apt to perceive voiceless sounds as voiced when the accompanying pitch is low, while they tend to perceive voiced sounds as voiceless when the accompanying pitch is high. Japanese speakers showed the same tendency, but with a lower rate of errors in perception.

This paper presents the results of experiments to reveal the acoustic cue of the perception of devoiced vowels. The frequency spectrum of mora /pI/ and /pU/ has peaks at 3200Hz and 1500Hz respectively. I removed these peaks using the band-pass filter to create stimuli. In the perception test using these stimuli, the rate of correct response is extremely low. This suggests that participants of this test couldn't use the acoustic information mentioned above. These acoustic features of/pI/ and /pU/ are similar to those of/p/ before voiced vowels. This result suggests that the coarticulation between /p/ and the following vowel may act as the acoustic cue of devoiced vowels.

Central vowels are observed both in the Ryukyuan dialects and East-northern dialects of the Japanese language. This paper takes notice of the u-fronting preceded by the coronal consonants which were observed in the 16th century dialect of Okinawa main island. It is speculated that this kind of coarticulation also was a trigger change toward the centralization of [u] vowel of East-northern dialects of Japanese. Just as the coronal consonants influence the shape of the tongue body by u-fronting, it is also supposed that the shape of the tongue pronouncing [i] could also be assimilated to the preceding coronal consonants. As the results of the above two assimilations, firstly /i/ and /u/ are speculated to have begun centralization in the environment following /s, z, c/. Secondly the consonants preceding central vowels have extended to all the consonants other than /s, z, c/, and thirdly /i/ and /u/ following /s, z, c/ have ceased to be distinct phonemically.

This paper reviews research papers published since 1990 on the acquisition of the Tokyo accent and intonation by foreign learners of Japanese. Intonation studies examined in this paper were mainly focused on the acquisition of sentence final pitch patterns for interrogative sentences in Japanese. As for accent acquisition studies, both production and perception studies were analyzed. With the surprising improvements of computer technology in recent years, it is expected that a great amount of progress could be done in research on the acquisition of accent and intonation in the future.

Japanese learners of Spanish often fail to perceive lexical stress in rising intonation contexts, although they tend to perceive stress correctly in falling intonation contexts. A perception experiment, conducted with two groups of listeners (L1 Spanish speakers and Japanese learners of L3 Spanish), revealed that the timing of the sharp fo rise was the most important acoustic cue for both of the listener groups. Syllable duration was also found to have a positive effect on stress perception, but the effect was weaker for the Japanese listeners.

This paper examines the relationship between phonology and phonetics. After reviewing a version of Lexical Phonology and Ladefoged's phonetic view of phonology, I argue that phonology and phonetics are in a derivational relationship and propose a generative phonetic model which is intended to integrate the idea of Lexical Phonology and Ladefoged's view. In the model proposed here, the phonology-phonetics interface is located at the level of allophonic transcription, which is referred to as systematic phonetic transcription (Ladefoged 1993) or categorical phonetic representation (Keating 1990). It is also argued that the psychological reality of this categorical level is supported by a listener's categorical perception.

The place of articulation in Japanese moraic-nasals is known to vary in accordance with the following sound and is assumed to be uvular in the word final position. This paper attempted to describe articulatory variability of word-final moraic-nasals using the X-ray microbeam speech production database in Japanese. The results depicted substantive inter-speaker variability in three of the four words examined. Moreover, 75% of the data examined were deemed unlikely to be uvular nasals and the lips were likely to be closed in 40% of the data. The results do not support the claim that word-final moraic-nasals are uvular.
