Ambiguïté temporaire des obstruantes voisées en parole chuchotée
Résumé
Meynadier & Dufour (2016) have studied how French listeners resolve voicing ambiguities in whispered speech. Visual targets were presented at the offset of auditory semantically-associated primes. A similar priming effect to that observed with modal primes was found only with whispered primes included a voiceless consonant (/petal/ t primed FLEUR). No priming effect was found with whispered primes included a voiced consonant (/pedal/ d), either on the target V LO /pedal/ or on the target FLEUR related to /petal/. Here, visual targets were presented 50 ms after the offset of primes. While priming effects were no longer observed with whispered voiceless primes (/petal/ FLEUR), a priming effect emerged with whispered voiced primes (/pedal/ V LO). Together, our results suggest that residual correlates of voicing present in whispered speech are exploited by listeners to recover the intended words. Nonetheless, they also showed that the reconstruction of the voiced feature is not immediate during whispered word recognition and requires a certain amount of time to be done.
