| summary | Studies have shown that social adaptation in production (convergence/divergence) and perception (normalization) can occur implicitly, as an unconscious response to the speech and/or perceived social characteristics of another talker (Johnson et al., 1999; Babel, 2012). In phonetic recalibration, listeners adjust their phonetic category boundaries in response to new speech input (Norris et al., 2003). This is similar to normalization, in that it is adaptive, though it is less dynamic, in that the effects persist beyond the period of exposure. In this study, we explore whether phonetic recalibration is also sensitive to the perceived social characteristics of the speaker. Specifically, we test whether changes to the phonetic boundary between /t/ and /d/ are modulated by the facial expression of the speaker during exposure. |
