Auditory-to-auditory mapping (cf. Boersma 1998) and auditory-toarbitrary mappings (cf. Escudero & Boersma 2003). However, adult listeners have been shown to combine a number of auditory dimensions when perceiving sound categories. In other words, they exhibit perceptual cue integration. This means that the targets of perception need to be abstract enough to allow for the integration of multiple cues and not just for the mapping of one auditory continuum onto a perceived auditory category along that same continuum.
Although it is assumed that speech perception is language-specific, the processing of the speech signal is modelled by means of general neural networks that map the fine-grained acoustic detail onto perceptual representations. However, such neural networks are trained on language-specific stimuli and therefore result in language-specific processing. In the next section, I argue that linguistic modelling is also able to adequately describe and explain language-specific perception. To that end, I present a proposal that posits a 32 CHAPTER 1 combination of phonetic and phonological components for language-specific perceptual mappings.
The auditory-to-auditory mapping of F1 = 900 onto F1= 750, results from satisfying the PERCEIVE [900] constraint, from violating the *CATEG 750 constraint, and from violating *WARP [150]. 9 These auditory-to-phonetic constraints can be called ‘one-dimensional’ because they map an auditory continuum onto perceived auditory categories along the same single continuum. F1 category: F1 value: 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 800 850 900 Mapping: 350 auditory–to– 550 auditory 750 Phonological category: F1 value: 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 800 850 900 Mapping: /i/ auditory–to– /e/ arbitrary /a/ Fig.
