Kang, Seokhan. 2014. A study of asymmetry relations between perception and production in the word-final stop voicing. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology. 20.1. 3-22.
This study tries to investigate whether the main acoustic properties in the production differ from those in the perception. The experimental design is intended to support the hypothesis that phonetic cues with equal amounts of acoustic information by production should be reinterpreted in the perception level. In the experiments, how the real prominent cues influence perceiving English stop voicing is examined. The results from both experiments clearly prove the asymmetry between production and perception. Even though phonetic cues measured in the production exert similar statistical significance, they could be re-ordered or rearranged in the level of perception. Through the experiments, this study supports the weak or indirect theory between the two. (Konkuk University)
