Abstract
The study investigated the impact of different types of clear speech on speech perception in an adverse listening condition. Tokens were extracted from spontaneous speech dialogues in which participants completed a problem-solving task in good listening conditions or while experiencing a one-sided ‘communication barrier’: a real-time vocoder or multibabble noise. These two adverse conditions induced the ‘unimpaired’ participant to produce clear speech. When tokens from these three conditions were presented in multibabble noise, listeners were quicker at processing clear tokens produced to counter the effects of multibabble noise than clear tokens produced to counteract the vocoder, or tokens produced in good communicative conditions. A clarity rating experiment using the same tokens presented in quiet showed that listeners do not distinguish between different types of clear speech. Together, these results suggest that clear speaking styles produced in different communicative conditions have acoustic-phonetic characteristics adapted to the needs of the listener, even though they may be perceived as being of similar clarity.
