AB - ACOUSTIC CUES FOR THE PERCEPTION OF INITIAL fw, j, r, If IN ENGLISH* J.D. O'CoNNOR,** L. J. GERSTMAN, A. M. LIBERMAN,*** P. C. DELATTRE,**** and F. S. CooPER In investigating the acoustic cues for the perception of speech it is usually convenient and often necessary to study only a rela­ in any single experiment. Thus, tively small group of phonemes our own earlier research and that of our colleagues at Haskins Laboratories has dealt separately with the stop, nasal, and frica­ tive consonants. In the experiments to be reported here we have chosen to study fw, j, r, If as a group and to try to find the physical stimuli essential to the recognition of these phonemes in (absolute) initial position before vowels. The selection of fw, j, r, If is necessarily arbitrary, at least in some degree; it is not random, however, since these phonemes have certain articulatory and distributional properties which tend to set them off from the other English consonants. From an articu­ latory standpoint, they differ from the constrictive consonants (stops, fricatives) in the degree of oral stricture present, and • This research was supported in part by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and
