SUMMARY
‘The Perception of Quantity and Preaspiration in Icelandic II’
Keywords: speech perception, quantity, preaspiration, phonetics
This article provides a review of the author’s research on the perception of duration
and preaspiration in Icelandic since the appearance of an article in this journal in
1993. In the previous article it was established that the vowel to rhyme ratio is the pri-
mary cue for quantity in Icelandic. The perception of voice offset time as a cue for
preaspiration had also been shown to be, at least in part, relational.
The newer research discussed in this paper has mainly focused on three issues.
Firstly it has been shown that the perception of quantity is in some cases influenced
by the quality of the vowel. This has been established for the vowel /e/ but presuma-
bly holds for all the vowels /e,o,ö/. This finding means that the earlier model posited
by the author, which assumed that the vowel to rhyme ratio was the only cue for qu-
antity, needs to be elaborated to take account of these fmdings.
