On the internal structure of phonetic categories: a progress report
Abstract
There is growing evidence that phonetic categories have a rich internal structure, with category members varying systematically in category goodness. Our recent findings on this issue, which are summarized in this paper, underscore the existence and robustness of this structure and indicate further that the mapping between acoustic signal and internal category structure is complex: just as in the case of category boundaries, the best exemplars of a given category are highly dependent on acoustic-phonetic context and are specified by multiple properties of the speech signal. These findings suggest that the listener's representation of phonetic form preserves not only categorical information, but also fine-grained information about the detailed acoustic-phonetic characteristics of the language.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
