Ha, Seunghee – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Aims: To investigate the developmental trajectory of the rate and perceptual assessment of oral diadochokinesis (DDK) in typically developing children compared with adults. Also to examine the characteristics of DDK productions in children with speech sound disorders (SSD) and the relationship between DDK production and percentage of consonants…

Meziane, Rabia Sabah; MacLeod, Andrea A. N. – Journal of Child Language, 2023
This study aims to describe the relationships between child-internal and child-external factors and the consonant accuracy of bilingual children. More specifically, the study looks at internal factors: expressive and receptive vocabulary, and external factors: language exposure and language status, of a group of 4-year-old bilingual Arabic-French…

Laura Machart; Anne Vilain; Hélène Lœvenbruck; Mark Tiede; Lucie Ménard – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: One of the strategies that can be used to support speech communication in deaf children is cued speech, a visual code in which manual gestures are used as additional phonological information to supplement the acoustic and labial speech information. Cued speech has been shown to improve speech perception and phonological skills. This…

Myers, Brett R.; Watson, Duane G. – Cognitive Science, 2021
Rhythmic structure in speech is characterized by sequences of stressed and unstressed syllables. A large body of literature suggests that speakers of English attempt to achieve rhythmic harmony by evenly distributing stressed syllables throughout prosodic phrases. The question remains as to how speakers plan metrical structure during speech…

S.; Aukner, R.; Jackson Morris, D.; Nielsen, S. F.; Semb, G.; Lohmander, A.; Persson, C. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background & Aim: To assess consonant proficiency and velopharyngeal function in 10-year-old children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) within the Scandcleft project. Methods & Procedures: Three parallel group, randomized, clinical trials were undertaken as an international multicentre study by nine cleft teams in five…

Rose, Céline; McBride, Adam F. – Foreign Language Annals, 2023
As an overwhelming amount of research has demonstrated that educator preparation programs do not adequately prepare instructors to teach pronunciation, this study aims to help teachers of foreign languages to implement and improve pronunciation instruction (PI) in their classroom by adapting PACE (Presentation, Attention, Co-construction, and…

Elizabeth E. Ancel; Michael L. Smith; V. N. Vimal Rao; Benjamin Munson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ productions of young children acquiring American English are highly variable and often inaccurate, with [w] as the most common substitution error. One acoustic indicator of the goodness of children's /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ productions is the difference between the frequency of the second…

Saloranta, Antti; Heikkola, Leena Maria; Peltola, Maija S. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
Phonological duration differences in quantity languages can be problematic for second language learners whose native language does not use duration contrastively. Recent studies have found improvement in the processing of non-native vowel duration contrasts with the use of listen-and-repeat training, and the current study explores the efficacy of…

Sargiani, Renan de Almeida; Ehri, Linnea C.; Maluf, Maria Regina – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
In this experiment, we examined whether beginning readers benefit more from grapheme-phoneme decoding (GPD) than from whole-syllable decoding (WSD) instruction in learning to read and write words. Sixty Brazilian Portuguese-speaking first graders (M age = 6 years 1 month) who knew letter names but could not read or write words were randomly…

Zuzanna Cal; Magdalena Wrembel – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
The study aimed to analyse the production of plosive sounds by trilingual speakers of L1 Polish - L2 English - L3 Norwegian. The main objective was to trace any changes in the VOT production of fortis and lenis stops in all three languages (Polish, English and Norwegian) produced by novice L3 learners with a focus on possible cross-linguistic…

Linda Larsen; Hanne Naess Hjetland; Stefan Kilian Schauber – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
Children's ability to correctly name letters is a key predictor of later reading abilities and skills, but research on letter naming from Scandinavian orthographies is scarce. The aim of this study is to explore how child- and letter-related factors (i.e., gender, child name, phonemic awareness, letter position in the alphabet and frequency, and…

Kalina Kostyszyn – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Language learning is a complex issue of interest to linguists, computer scientists, and psychologists alike. While the different fields approach these questions at different levels of granularity, findings in one field profoundly affect how the others proceed. My dissertation examines the perceptual and linguistic generalizations regarding the…

Davis, Barbara L.; Aoyama, Katsura; Cassidy, Rebekka – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Place and manner of articulation in American English-learning children's salient consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel (C[subscript 1]VC[subscript 2]V) target words (e.g., "baby," "bunny," and "cookie") were compared with their actual productions of these words. We hypothesized that target words with repeated place…

Adam Buchwald; Hung-Shao Cheng – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Nonnative consonant cluster learning has become a useful experimental approach for learning about speech motor learning, and we sought to enhance our understanding of this area and to establish best practices for this type of research. Method: One hundred twenty individuals completed a nonnative consonant cluster learning task within a…

Demirezen, Mehmet – Education Reform Journal, 2021
Right from the beginning it must be noted that English spelling is confusing and bothersome both for native speakers and nonnative speakers. In learning a foreign language, accurate pronunciation is an important part of learning any foreign language. Accurate pronunciation is especially important when non-native students are trained to be English…
