Words in puddles of sound

author: Padraic Monaghan, Department of Psychology, University of York

Description

Words in a “sea of sound” (Saffran, 2001)
Discovering words from continuous speech; with no reliable cues to word boundaries (Jones, 1918; Liberman et al., 1967); where words are realised variably (Pollack & Pickett, 1964).
