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…

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…

Dilley, Laura; Lehet, Matthew; Wieland, Elizabeth A.; Arjmandi, Meisam K.; Kondaurova, Maria; Wang, Yuanyuan; Reed, Jessa; Svirsky, Mario; Houston, Derek; Bergeson, Tonya – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Differences across language environments of prelingually deaf children who receive cochlear implants (CIs) may affect language acquisition; yet, whether mothers show individual differences in how they modify infant-directed (ID) compared with adult-directed (AD) speech has seldom been studied. This study assessed individual differences in…

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…

Kao, Chieh; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Spoken language is inherently multimodal and multidimensional in natural settings, but very little is known about how second language (L2) learners undertake multilayered speech signals with both phonetic and affective cues. This study investigated how late L2 learners undertake parallel processing of linguistic and affective information…

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…

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…

Saud Alharbi, Amirah; Foltz, Anouschka; Kornder, Lisa; Mennen, Ineke – Second Language Research, 2023
While much research has examined second language (L2) phonetic acquisition, less research has examined first language (L1) attrition in terms of the voice onset time (VOT) of voiceless stops. The current study examined L2 acquisition and L1 attrition in the VOT of word-initial voiceless stops among late English-Arabic and Arabic-English bilinguals…

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.…

Nordgren, Pia M. – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
We longitudinally investigated the development of deictic and general accompanying gestures in one 5-year-old boy with autism spectrum condition (ASC) and intellectual disability. The investigation was performed during an intervention focusing on phonological segments. The purpose was to see whether gestures developed in conjunction with language.…

Chen, Li-Mei; Hustad, Katherine C.; Kent, Ray D.; Lin, Yu Ching – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study explored the speech characteristics of Mandarin-speaking children with cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children to determine (a) how children in the 2 groups may differ in their speech patterns and (b) the variables correlated with speech intelligibility for words and sentences. Method: Data from 6 children…

A Multidisciplinary Theoretical and Methodological Framework for the Study of Telephone Interpreting
Iglesias Fernández, Emilia; Russo, Mariachiara – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2020
The complex nature of remote interpreting (RI) demands a multidisciplinary approach. The present article focuses on telephone interpreting (TI) in the light of the most relevant disciplines to suggest a coherent theoretical and methodologic framework. This approach will contribute to analysing TI components and mechanics, both for research…

Archibald, John; Croteau, Nicole – Second Language Research, 2021
In this article we look at some of the structural properties of second language (L2) Japanese WH questions. In Japanese the WH words are licensed to remain "in situ" by the prosodic contiguity properties of the phrases which have no prosodic boundaries between the WH word and the question particle. In a rehearsed-reading, sentence…

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…
