Cooperative conversation has been shown to foster interpersonal postural coordination. The authors investigated whether such coordination is mediated by the influence of articulation on postural sway. In Experiment 1, talkers produced words in synchrony or in alternation, as the authors varied speaking rate and word similarity. Greater shared…

Overlap in conversation is a well-established area of conversation analysis research (e.g. Jefferson 1983; Schegloff 2000) which can reveal how participants orient to transition relevance places. This paper presents an analysis of overlap in the mixed (Garrwa, Kriol and English) language conversations of two indigenous Australian women as part of…

Newman, Matthew L.; Groom, Carla J.; Handelman, Lori D.; Pennebaker, James W. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Differences in the ways that men and women use language have long been of interest in the study of discourse. Despite extensive theorizing, actual empirical investigations have yet to converge on a coherent picture of gender differences in language. A significant reason is the lack of agreement over the best way to analyze language. In this…

Jayaram, M. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1983
Results indicated that both monolingual and bilingual stutterers were more dysfluent on voiceless consonants; the bilingual stutterers stuttered more on the nasal sounds; and phonetic influences on stuttering might be dependent on the number of languages spoken as well as specific language in which the effects were observed.

Ferguson, Angela N.; Bowey, Judith A.; Tilley, Andrew – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Examined association between speech rate and memory span in children from kindergarten to sixth grade. Found that speech rate for word triples shared variance with memory span independent of speech rate for single words. Speech rate for word triples was largely redundant with age in explaining additional variation in memory span when effects of…
