Research Abstract

In this study, we investigated acoustically and physiologically influences of mother languages effected upon the auditory processing of language sound. Firstly, we examined the perception of Japanese learners of French phonemes from the point of view of the visual as well as auditory modality, while listening to speech sounds. We founded that Japanese learners who were capable of discriminating betweens French vowels showed the similar tendency for visual modality. This result seems to be related to the frequency of second formant (F2) of each vowel. Secondly, to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying in speech perception, we examined the magnetic counterpart of mismatch negativity (MMNm) elicited by short and long vowels in Japanese and French speakers. MMNm was recorded from seven right-handed Japanese subjects (four male) and six right-handed French subjects (four male) by a helmet-shaped 306-channel detector array. Stimuli were Japanese nonword-sounds [erepe] and [ere:pe] (vo … More wel length contrast) vocalized by a Japanese male. Clear MMNm responses were observed bilaterally in the all subjects in all conditions. In the Short condition where the averaged responses to [erepe] as standard stimuli were subtracted from those to [erepe] as deviant ones, the MMNm strength of French subjects did not differ significantly between the both hemispheres. The MMNm responses of Japanese subjects were stronger significantly in the left than in the right hemisphere (p<0.02). In the Long condition where the averaged responses to [ere:pe] as standard stimuli from those to [ere:pe] as deviant ones, the MMNm of French subjects was elicited stronger in the left than in the right hemisphere, while Japanese subjects did not show significant difference between the both hemispheres. The pattern of cortical magnetic responses was different between Japanese and French speakers. It is thus shown that the cortical activities to speech sounds might be influenced by one's native speech sounds. Less
