Phonetic imitation is not conditioned by preservation of phonological contrast but by perceptual salience

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study addresses disagreement between previous studies about the hypothesis that phonetic imitation does not occur if it would threaten a phonological contrast. Using a within-subject pretest-shadowing-posttest design, we tested imitability of reduction and extension of prevoicing and vowel duration in Czech, a vowel-quantity language with prevoiced-vs-unaspirated stop contrasts. Results showed imitation of extended but not of reduced prevoicing. This is compatible with the contrast-preservation hypothesis, but may also be ascribed to the lower perceptual salience of prevoicing reduction than its extension in the presence of other voicing cues. In contrast, reducing duration of a Czech long vowel is salient to native listeners. Indeed, both directions of (natural-sounding) vowel duration manipulation were imitated, even though reduction decreased the distance between phonologically long and short categories. We conclude that contrast preservation does not necessarily preclude imita
