Binding of speech syllables when segregation occurs
Résumé
Two previous studies [David et al., 2017, Hear. Res. 344, 235-243; David et al., 2017, J. Acoust. Soc.
Am. 142(3), 1674-1685] have investigated the segregation of speech syllables made of a fricative
consonant and a vowel, referred to as CV tokens. The first study explored the segregation of such
syllables based on fundamental frequency differences. The second study explored the segregation of
the CV tokens based on localization cues, especially the spectral cues in the median plane. Both
studies found that segregation can be observed based on F0 and on spectral cues. Interestingly, it was
found that the whole CV token remains grouped even when segregation occurs based on cues that
affect only one part of the CV: F0 differences affect mostly the vowel part, whereas coloration in the
median plane is effective mostly at high frequencies, selectively affecting the consonant part. The
mechanisms that allow the CV to remain grouped under such circumstances remain unclear. The
present manuscript reviews the results of these two studies and provides some suggestions as to how
such binding might occur.
