Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v41 n1 p5-17 Feb 1998

A study of 10 typical women investigated the effect of fingerspelling task length on temporal characteristics and perceived naturalness of speech produced during simultaneous communication. Speech produced during simultaneous communication was rated as less natural and demonstrated increased interword interval, diphthong, work, and sentence durations. (Author/CR)
