Specificity and abstractness of VOT imitation (2011, background): “This selective nature of phonetic imitation was recently found in Babel (2009) as well: she investigated phonetic imitation of English vowels, and found that not all vowels were imitated as a result of exposure to the model talkers.”
Variability in American English s-retraction suggests a solution to the actuation problem (2011, background): “For instance, Babel (2009) has recently reported that subjects in an imitation experiment exhibit more imitation of speakers with whom they identify.”
Converging toward a common speech code: imitative and perceptuo-motor recalibration processes in speech production (2013, unknown): “In adults, unintentional speech imitation, or phonetic convergence, has been found to also occur in the course of a conversational interaction (for recent reviews, see Babel, 2009; Aubanel, 2011; Lelong, 2012).”
