Effect of Sign Task on Speech Timing in Simultaneous Communication.

Whitehead, Robert L.; Schiavetti, Nicholas; Whitehead, Brenda H.; Metz, Dale Evan

Journal of Communication Disorders, v30 n6 p439-56 Nov-Dec 1997

A study involving 12 hearing sign language users examined the effect of the signing task on temporal features of speech during simultaneous communication (SC). Results indicated longer sentence duration for SC than speech-only conditions, and longer anticipatory duration of the diphthong and interword interval preceding the experimental words. (Author/CR)
