Ménard, Lucie; Prémont, Amélie; Trudeau-Fisette, Pamela; Turgeon, Christine; Tiede, Mark – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Objective: We aimed to investigate the production of contrastive emphasis in French-speaking 4-year-olds and adults. Based on previous work, we predicted that, due to their immature motor control abilities, preschool-aged children would produce smaller articulatory differences between emphasized and neutral syllables than adults. Method: Ten…

Still Not Adult-Like: Lexical Stress Contrastivity in Word Productions of Eight- to Eleven-Year-Olds
Arciuli, Joanne; Ballard, Kirrie J. – Journal of Child Language, 2017
Lexical stress is the contrast between strong and weak syllables within words. Ballard et al. (2012) examined the amount of stress contrastivity across adjacent syllables in word productions of typically developing three- to seven-year-olds and adults. Here, eight- to eleven-year-olds are compared with the adults from Ballard et al. using acoustic…

Connaghan, Kathryn P.; Patel, Rupal – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: To compare vowel acoustics and intelligibility in words produced with and without contrastive stress by speakers with spastic (mixed-spastic) dysarthria secondary to cerebral palsy (DYS[subscript CP]) and healthy controls (HCs). Method: Fifteen participants (9 men, 6 women; age M = 42 years) with DYS[subscript CP] and 15 HCs (9 men, 6…

Georgeton, Laurianne; Antolík, Tanja Kocjancic; Fougeron, Cécile – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2016
Purpose: Phonetic variation due to domain initial strengthening was investigated with respect to the acoustic and articulatory distinctiveness of vowels within a subset of the French oral vowel system /i, e, ?, a, o, u/, organized along 4 degrees of height for the front vowels and 2 degrees of backness at the close and midclose height levels.…

Hardison, Debra M.; Pennington, Martha C. – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2021
This article reviews research findings involving visual input in speech processing in the form of facial cues and co-speech gestures for second-language (L2) learners, and provides pedagogical implications for the teaching of listening and speaking. It traces the foundations of auditory-visual speech research and explores the role of a speaker's…

Utianski, Rene L.; Martin, Peter R.; Hanley, Holly; Duffy, Joseph R.; Botha, Hugo; Clark, Heather M.; Whitwell, Jennifer L.; Josephs, Keith A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Individuals with primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS) have apraxia of speech (AOS) in which disruptions in articulation or prosody predominate the speech pattern, referred to, respectively, as phonetic or prosodic subtypes. Many develop aphasia and/or dysarthria. Past research has demonstrated that simple temporal acoustic…

Katz, Jonah; Moore, Michelle W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of specific acoustic patterns on word learning and segmentation in 8- to 11-year-old children and in college students. Method: Twenty-two children (ages 8;2-11;4 [years;months]) and 36 college students listened to synthesized "utterances" in artificial languages consisting of…

Morgunova, Olga; Shkurko, Tetiana; Pavlenko, Olena – Advanced Education, 2019
The paper focuses on the vers libre prosody taking into account the auditory aspect of its oral actualisation. The main hypothesis of the study is that vers libre is constituted with a range of definite stable prosodic features that allow referring it to versification and at the same time to something different from a metered text and prose.…

Ma, Yingbo; Katuka, Gloria Ashiya; Celepkolu, Mehmet; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Collaborative learning is a complex process during which two or more learners exchange opinions, construct shared knowledge, and solve problems together. While engaging in this interactive process, learners' satisfaction toward their partners plays a crucial role in defining the success of the collaboration. If intelligent systems could predict…

Leung, Yeptain; Oates, Jennifer; Chan, Siew Pang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of the aspects of verbal communication contributing to listener perceptions of speaker gender with a view to providing clinicians with guidance for the selection of the training goals when working with transsexual individuals. Method: Preferred reporting items for systematic review…

Ito, Kiwako; Martens, Marilee A. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Past reports on the speech production of individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) suggest that their prosody is anomalous and may lead to challenges in spoken communication. While existing prosodic assessments confirm that individuals with WS fail to use prosodic emphasis to express contrast, those reports typically lack detailed…

Saito, Kazuya; Plonsky, Luke – Language Learning, 2019
We propose a new framework for conceptualizing measures of instructed second language (L2) pronunciation performance according to three sets of parameters: (a) the constructs (focused on global vs. specific aspects of pronunciation), (b) the scoring method (human raters vs. acoustic analyses), and (c) the type of knowledge elicited (controlled vs.…

Davidson, Lisa S.; Geers, Ann E.; Uchanski, Rosalie M.; Firszt, Jill B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The overall goal of the current study was to identify an optimal level and duration of acoustic experience that facilitates language development for pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients--specifically, to determine whether there is an optimal duration of hearing aid (HA) use and unaided threshold levels that should be considered…

Chan, Hang – Cogent Education, 2018
Every sound is made up of pitch, intensity and length (P, I and L). These universal parameters work together to give a sound its sensation. This paper presents a case of using P, I and L, and a hypothetical measure, "S[subscript c]" ("Stress Composite"), to appraise the effect of prosodic training. The main question this paper…

Yu, Luodi; Zeng, Jiajing; Wang, Suiping; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study aimed to examine whether abstract knowledge of word-level linguistic prosody is independent of or integrated with phonetic knowledge. Method: Event-related potential (ERP) responses were measured from 18 adult listeners while they listened to native and nonnative word-level prosody in speech and in nonspeech. The prosodic…
