Gwendolyn Hyslop – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2021
Classic typologies within prosody tend to treat 'tone' languages as being diametrically opposed to 'stress' languages. However, Hyman (2006) highlights several languages that can have both, including Seneca, Fasu, and Copala Trique. As language documentation advances and our acoustic methodologies in the field are further refined, we have seen…

Lo, Chi Yhun; Looi, Valerie; Thompson, William Forde; McMahon, Catherine M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: A growing body of evidence suggests that long-term music training provides benefits to auditory abilities for typical-hearing adults and children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how music training may provide perceptual benefits (such as speech-in-noise, spectral resolution, and prosody) for children with hearing loss. Method:…

Chung, Wei-Lun; Bidelman, Gavin M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The study aimed to examine whether oral reading prosody--the use of acoustic features (e.g., pitch and duration variations) when reading passages aloud--predicts reading fluency and comprehension abilities. Method: We measured vocabulary, syntax, word reading, reading fluency (including rate and accuracy), reading comprehension (in Grades…

Terband, Hayo; Namasivayam, Aravind; Maas, Edwin; van Brenk, Frits; Mailend, Marja-Liisa; Diepeveen, Sanne; van Lieshout, Pascal; Maassen, Ben – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Background: With respect to the clinical criteria for diagnosing "childhood apraxia of speech" (commonly defined as a disorder of speech motor planning and/or programming), research has made important progress in recent years. Three segmental and suprasegmental speech characteristics--error inconsistency, lengthened and disrupted…

Goldrick, Matthew; McClain, Rhonda; Cibelli, Emily; Adi, Yossi; Gustafson, Erin; Moers, Cornelia; Keshet, Joseph – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Interactive models of language production predict that it should be possible to observe long-distance interactions; effects that arise at one level of processing influence multiple subsequent stages of representation and processing. We examine the hypothesis that disruptions arising in nonform-based levels of planning--specifically, lexical…

Yen-Chen Hao – Second Language Research, 2024
The current study examined the phonolexical processing of Mandarin segments and tones by English speakers at different Mandarin proficiency levels. Eleven English speakers naive to Mandarin, 15 intermediate and 9 advanced second language (L2) learners participated in a word-learning experiment. After learning the sound and meaning of 16 Mandarin…

Saito, Kazuya; Sun, Hui; Kachlicka, Magdalena; Alayo, John Robert Carvajal; Nakata, Tatsuya; Tierney, Adam – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
In this study, we propose a hypothesis that domain-general auditory processing, a perceptual anchor of L1 acquisition, can serve as the foundation of successful post-pubertal L2 learning. This hypothesis was tested with 139 post-pubertal L2 immersion learners by linking individual differences in auditory discrimination across multiple acoustic…

Pérez-Navarro, Jose; Lallier, Marie; Clark, Catherine; Flanagan, Sheila; Goswami, Usha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to characterize the local (utterance-level) temporal regularities of child-directed speech (CDS) that might facilitate phonological development in Spanish, classically termed a syllable-timed language. Method: Eighteen female adults addressed their 4-year-old children versus other adults spontaneously and also…

Murray, Elizabeth S. Heller; Lien, Yu-An S.; Van Stan, Jarrad H.; Mehta, Daryush D.; Hillman, Robert E.; Noordzij, J. Pieter; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine the ability of an acoustic measure, relative fundamental frequency (RFF), to distinguish between two subtypes of vocal hyperfunction (VH): phonotraumatic (PVH) and non-phonotraumatic (NPVH). Method: RFF values were compared among control individuals with typical voices (N = 49), individuals with…

Thorson, Jill C.; Morgan, James L. – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Our motivation was to examine how toddler (2;6) and adult speakers of American English prosodically realize information status categories. The aims were three-fold: (1) to analyze how adults phonologically make information status distinctions; (2) to examine how these same categories are signaled in toddlers' spontaneous speech; and (3) to analyze…

Chung, Wei-Lun; Jarmulowicz, Linda; Bidelman, Gavin M. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Several studies have revealed that prosody contributes to reading acquisition. However, the relation between awareness of prosodic patterns and different facets of language ability (e.g., vocabulary knowledge) in school-age children remains unclear. This study measured awareness of prosodic patterns using non-speech and speech stimuli.…

Quam, Carolyn; Swingley, Daniel – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
Children are adept at learning their language's speech-sound categories, but just how these categories function in their developing lexicon has not been mapped out in detail. Here, we addressed whether, in a language-guided looking procedure, 2-year-olds would respond to a mispronunciation of the voicing of the initial consonant of a newly learned…

Sinagra, Chloe; Wiener, Seth – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Face masks affect the transmission of speech and obscure facial cues. Here, we examine how this reduction in acoustic and facial information affects a listener's understanding of speech prosody. English sentence pairs that differed in their intonational (statement/question) and emotional (happy/sad) prosody were created. These pairs were recorded…

Chiu, Yi-Fang; Neel, Amy; Loux, Travis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Auditory perceptual judgments are commonly used to diagnose dysarthria and assess treatment progress. The purpose of the study was to examine the acoustic underpinnings of perceptual speech abnormalities in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Method: Auditory perceptual judgments were obtained from sentences produced by 13 speakers…

Akbari, Christina C.; Davis, Andria H. – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2019
Although prosodic deficits have been reported to occur with many different populations, little published research addresses treatment options for these deficits. This study was designed to examine one treatment's impact, the six-step imitative approach, on the expressive affective prosody of an adolescent with autism who had average intelligence…
