Zajac, David J.; Vallino, Linda D.; Baylis, Adriane L.; Adatorwovor, Reuben; Preisser, John S.; Vivaldi, Daniela – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study determined the time course of the emergence of prevocalic stop consonants in young children with cleft palate following surgical repair. Method: A total of 120 children in four cohorts from three institutions were followed from 12 to 24 months of age: (a) 24 with repaired cleft lip and palate (CLP), (b) 36 with repaired cleft…

Purnama, Syahfitri; Pawiro, Muhammad Ali; Azis – International Journal of Language Education, 2023
Speaker's good pronunciation makes his/her listener comfortable, and confident to participate in the conversation and his/her mispronunciations bring implications to the listener's awareness and involvement with the message spoken. The research was aimed at detecting the mispronunciations produced by 70 nonnative (L2) post-graduate students who…

Schmidt, Barbara Maria; Breuer-Küppers, Petra; Vahlhaus-Aretz, Doris; Obergfell, Anja Larissa; Schabmann, Alfred – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
There are contradictory findings in the literature about prosodic sensitivity's contribution to reading. In this study, we examined whether prosodic sensitivity makes a unique contribution to different reading outcomes in German after controlling for the effects of phonological awareness. Word reading, nonword reading and sentence reading as well…

Feng, Yan; Peng, Gang – Child Development, 2023
Although children develop categorical speech perception at a very young age, the maturation process remains unclear. A cross-sectional study in Mandarin-speaking 4-, 6-, and 10-year-old children, 14-year-old adolescents, and adults (n = 104, 56 males, all Asians from mainland China) was conducted to investigate the development of categorical…

Hana Asaad Daana; Maisa Sadi Jaber; Sereen Jubran – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023
This study aims to explore and tackle different phenomena of syllable structure and syllabification patterns in Jordanian Arabic (JA). The study compares and contrasts the permissible syllable structures in different Jordanian dialects. It also presents a comprehensive analysis of how speakers of different Jordanian dialects tackle the consonantal…

Nebraska Department of Education, 2021
For students to be able to read and comprehend, they must first develop phonological awareness, the ability to recognize and manipulate the segments of sound in words. To develop this ability, students must be able to identify the following: individual sounds (phonemes) in words; print letters of the alphabet; and corresponding sounds for each…

Oren, Liran; Kummer, Ann W.; Boyce, Suzanne – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Secretion bubbling on the superior aspect of the velopharyngeal (VP) valve typically occurs with a small VP opening during production of oral pressure consonants. The use of high-speed nasopharyngoscopy has shown correlation between the bubbling frequency and the acoustics captured with the nasal microphone of the nasometer. The purpose…

Rajaram, Melissa – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Multisyllabic words constitute a large portion of children's vocabulary. However, the relationship between phonological neighborhood density and English multisyllabic word learning is poorly understood. We examine this link in three, four and six year old children using a corpus-based approach. While we were able to replicate the well-accepted…

Thomas, Anusha; Teplansky, Kristin J.; Wisler, Alan; Heitzman, Daragh; Austin, Sara; Wang, Jun – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects bulbar functions including speech and voice. Voice onset time (VOT) was examined in speakers with ALS in early and late stages to explore the coordination of the articulatory and phonatory systems during speech production. Method: VOT was measured in nonword…

Creel, Sarah C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The primary aim was to assess whether children have difficulty distinguishing similar-sounding novel words. The secondary aim was to assess what task characteristics might hinder or facilitate perceptual discrimination. Method: Three within-subjects experiments tested ninety-nine 3- to 5-year-old children total. Experiment 1 presented two…

Tibi, Sana; Edwards, Ashley A.; Kim, Young-Suk Grace; Schatschneider, Christopher; Boudelaa, Sami – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Studies have suggested that multiple features influence letter knowledge across different orthographies. Arabic offers a unique opportunity to investigate the relations of letter properties on letter knowledge, but research on Arabic letter knowledge is scarce. This study was designed to investigate (a) letter frequency, (b) letter sequence, (c)…

Julie Case; Anna Eva Hallin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Background: Speech and language are interconnected systems, and language disorder often co-occurs with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and non-CAS speech sound disorders (SSDs). Potential trade-off effects between speech and language in connected speech in children without overt language disorder have been less explored. Method: Story retell…

Michael Yeldham – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Production of certain English phonemes relies heavily on effort from the abdominal region, and under-utilization of this region by second language English speakers can create difficulties pronouncing these sounds. In particular, production of long vowel/diphthong sounds requires sustained abdominal contraction to maintain the length of these…

Karlin, Robin; Naber, Chris; Parrell, Benjamin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Real-time altered feedback has demonstrated a key role for auditory feedback in both online feedback control and in updating feedforward control for future utterances. The aim of this study was to examine adaptation in response to temporal perturbation using real-time perturbation of ongoing speech. Method: Twenty native English speakers…

Luthra, Sahil; Magnuson, James S.; Myers, Emily B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
A challenge for listeners is to learn the appropriate mapping between acoustics and phonetic categories for an individual talker. Lexically guided perceptual learning (LGPL) studies have shown that listeners can leverage lexical knowledge to guide this process. For instance, listeners learn to interpret ambiguous /s/-/[esh]/ blends as /s/ if they…
