Recent Research Activities
2021: French prosodic stress produced by Twi speakers. French Prosodic Stress is acoustically related to a combination of duration, fundamental frequency (f0) and intensity. This work involves a comparative study investigating the use of these correlates by French native speakers and Twi speakers learning French. In a production experiment, their readings were recorded in a studio and analyzed with a sound Editor. Durational, intensity and fundamental frequency values were extracted for each of the selected target syllables. Evidence from the acoustic data shows that the most important acoustic parameter in producing French prosodic final stress, by both native speakers and Twi learners of French, is duration which is consistent. Pitch difference (f0) and intensity are not the key determining factors in distinguishing prosodic stress differences between penultimate and final syllables.

2020: How native speakers of French, a non-tone language with different lexical stress properties, perceive two Twi lexical tones in a series of monosyllabic contrasting words. They are words produced, first in isolation and second, in a carrier sentence. Three experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 tested identification of tone contrasts by native speakers of Twi. Experiment 2 tested native French speakers’ identification of tones presented in isolated context and Experiment 3 tested identification of tones presented in a carrier sentence. Acoustic investigations show that pitch difference is the determining factor in distinguishing high and low tone contrasts in Twi. Findings imply that linguistic experience with non-native tones does not necessarily preclude tone perception. Results also show that the identification rate of tones in an isolation context was higher than the identification rate of tones in a carrier sentence context.
