abstract = {This paper investigated whether predictability-based adjustments in production
have listener-oriented consequences in perception. 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.},
