Schaefer, Vance; Abe, Linda – English Teaching Forum, 2020
Nonnative speakers of a language are often at a disadvantage in producing extended speech, as they have differing native (L1) phonological systems and rhetorical traditions or little experience in giving talks. Prosody in the form of stress, rhythm, and intonation is a difficult but crucial area needed to master extended speech because prosody…

Kuder, Emily – Hispania, 2020
Rhetorical word stress has been identified as a feature of public, presentational, and didactic speech styles in Spanish through theoretical descriptions, intuitive accounts, and laboratory-based empirical research. Most scholars agree that non-primary stress is acoustically marked by pitch and primary stress is marked by segment lengthening. The…

Hallin, Anna Eva; Van Lancker Sidtis, Diana – Applied Linguistics, 2017
Formulaic expressions (such as idioms, proverbs, and conversational speech formulas) are currently a topic of interest. Examination of prosody in formulaic utterances, a less explored property of formulaic expressions, has yielded controversial views. The present study investigates prosodic characteristics of proverbs, as one type of formulaic…

Aycan, Kivanc – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2017
Purpose: In this research, it is observed that if solfeggio syllables, consonants, and vowels are spoken properly, voice intensity (accent), duration, pitch (high pitch-low pitch) and intonation (the ability to carry a musical voice) related to proper pitch level. In this study, it is observed that rhythmic structures do not form without…

Hübscher, Iris; Vincze, Laura; Prieto, Pilar – Language Learning and Development, 2019
Children achieve their first language milestones initially in gesture and prosody before they do so in speech. However, little is known about the potential precursor role of those features later in development when children start using more complex linguistic skills. In this study, we explore how children's ability to reflect on their degree of…

Lin, Candise Y.; Wang, Min; Newman, Rochelle S.; Li, Chuchu – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Background: This study examined the development of stress sensitivity and its relationship with word reading. Previous research has rarely measured phoneme and stress sensitivity in the same task, making a direct comparison of the contribution between the two in reading development difficult. Methods: Participants were native English-speaking…

van de Velde, Daan J.; Frijns, Johan H. M.; Beers, Mieke; van Heuven, Vincent J.; Levelt, Claartje C.; Briaire, Jeroen; Schiller, Niels O. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Relative to normally hearing (NH) peers, the speech of children with cochlear implants (CIs) has been found to have deviations such as a high fundamental frequency, elevated jitter and shimmer, and inadequate intonation. However, two important dimensions of prosody (temporal and spectral) have not been systematically investigated. Given…

Namaziandost, Ehsan; Esfahani, Fariba Rahimi; Hashemifarnia, Arash – International Journal of Instruction, 2018
This study examined the effect of using authentic videos on Iranian EFL learners' prosodic ability. To this end, the researcher selected 40 Iranian intermediate students and randomly assigned them in two equal groups; one experimental group and one control group. A pre-test was administered to both groups to make sure that they are homogeneous.…

Sariman, Gurbet; Çetin, Didem – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of computer aided education on the skill of word stressing in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. Single group pre-test and post-test experimental design was used in the study. The group of the study consisted of 23 foreign students in Mugla Sitki Koçman University School of Foreign…

Kermad, Alyssa – TESL-EJ, 2021
Prosody communicates pragmatic meaning far beyond that which is evident at the surface level of an utterance and can pose challenges to learners' pragmatic comprehension. The current study investigated how second language (L2) English learners made decisions about speaker intent when communicated through prosody. Seventeen English L2 learners took…

Stone, Cathlyn; Donnelly, Patrick J.; Dale, Meghan; Capello, Sarah; Kelly, Sean; Godley, Amanda; D'Mello, Sidney K. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
We examine the ability of supervised text classification models to identify several discourse properties from teachers' speech with an eye for providing teachers with meaningful automated feedback about the quality of their classroom discourse. We collected audio recordings from 28 teachers from 10 schools in 164 authentic classroom sessions,…

Tanaka, Yu – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Compound surnames in Japanese show complex phonological patterns, which pose challenges to current theories of phonology. This dissertation proposes an account of the segmental and prosodic issues in Japanese surnames and discusses their theoretical implications. Like regular compound words, compound surnames may undergo a sound alternation known…

Polo, Nuria – First Language, 2018
Studies on the acquisition of Spanish as a first language do not agree on the patterns and factors relevant for coda development. In order to shed light on the questions involved, a longitudinal study of coda development in Northern European Spanish was carried out to explore the relationship between accuracy, markedness and frequency. The study…

Minai, Utako; Isobe, Miwa; Okabe, Reiko – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2015
The current study investigates preschool-age children's comprehension of scrambled sentences in Japanese. While scrambling has been known to be challenging for children, biasing them to exhibit non-adult-like interpretations (e.g., Hayashibe in "Descr Appl Linguist" 8:1-18, 1975; Sano in "Descr Appl Linguist" 10:213-233, 1977;…

Zhang, Yuan; Baills, Florence; Prieto, Pilar – Language Teaching Research, 2020
Though research has shown that rhythmic training is beneficial for phonological speech processing, little empirical work has been carried out to assess whether rhythmic training in the classroom can help to improve pronunciation in a second language. This study tests the potential benefits of hand-clapping to the rhythm of newly learned French…
