Cross-language VOT Perception: the First Perception of Stops in Unfamiliar Languages
Voice Onset Time (VOT) is arguably the most robust acoustic factor in the perception of plosives. This study describes the VOT of speakers of different native languages when they reproduce an unfamiliar language. We try to figure out whether acoustic similarity or typological similarity of the languages has more influence on VOT perception and reproduction, and furthermore, how does VOT indicate the accent perception and formation.

My name is Jiurui Guo, 4th-year undergrad with an interest in phonology. My current research is in phonetic and phonological clues to accent perception and identification. On top of that, I am also keen about doing fieldwork and have some interest in historical and comparative linguistics. In my spare time, I am an amateur drummer, rhythm game player, and aviation photographer. I am also from Beijing, China.
