Abstract:
International audience ; Whistled speech is a form ofmodified speechwheresomefrequencies ofvowelsand consonants areaugmentedandtransposed to whistling,modifying thetimbre andtheconstruction of eachphoneme.Thesetransformationscauseonly some elementsofthe signalto beintelligiblefornaivelisteners,which, according to previous studies, includesvowelrecognition.Here, we analyzenaivelisteners’ capacitiesforwhistled consonant categorization for four consonants: /p/, /k/,/t/ and /s/bypresentingthefindings oftwobehavioralexperiments. Though both experiments measurewhistledconsonant categorization,we used modifiedfrequencies-lowered with a phase vocoder-of the whistled stimuli in thesecond experimentto better identify therelative nature of pitchcues employed in this process.Results show thatparticipantsobtainedapproximately50% of correct responses(when chanceis at 25%).These findingsshowspecificconsonant preferencesfor “s” and “t”over“k” and “p”,specifically whenstimuli isunmodified.Previous research on whistled consonantssystemshas often opposed “s” and “t” to “k” and “p”,due to theirstrongpitch modulations. The preference for these two consonantsunderlines theimportanceof these cues in phonemeprocessing.
