Abstract

40 speakers of AusE participated in a pseudo-replication of Hay and Drager's stuffed toy study [1]. Participants heard spoken AusE sentences with a phrase-final target word containing either a KIT, DRESS or TRAP vowel [2] followed by a six-step continuum of isolated synthesised vowels, from NZE-like to exaggerated AusE-like. Participants selected the token from the continuum they believed best matched the realisation of the vowel in the target word. Participants were exposed to stuffed toy kiwis, koalas, or neither (control). Contrary to results reported in [1], participants' responses were not influenced by the presence of the toys.
