By manipulating the acoustic features of a target syllable in different predictability contexts in German, we tested 40 listeners’ perceptual preference for the manipulation. Four source words underwent acoustic modifications on the target syllable. Our results revealed a general preference for the original (unmodified) version over the modified one. However, listeners generally favored the unmodified version more when the source word had a higher predictable context compared to a less predictable one. The results showed that predictability-based adjustments have perceptual consequences and that listeners have predictability-based expectations in perception.}, pubstate = {published}, type = {inproceedings} }
