Document Summary
They played recordings of either natural speech, speech that was computer-distorted and unintelligible but contained the phonemic complexity of the sounds, or speech that was intelligible but lacked the normal frequencies of human speakers. Some areas responded to both natural and unintelligible speech, while other responded only to speech what was intelligible, even if it was highly distorted. y. Ganong found that the perception of a phoneme is affected by the sounds that follow it. He used a computer to synthesize a novel sound that fell between those of the phonemes /g/ and. When the sound was followed by ift, the participants heard the word gift, but when it was followed by iss, they heard kiss. These results suggest that we recognize speech sounds in pieces larger than individual phonemes y morphemes: phonemes are combined to form morphemes, which are the smallest units of meaning in language.
