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…

Imgrund, Caitlin M.; Krueger, Breanna I.; Getejanc, Christie – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2023
Preschoolers born preterm are at an increased risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes; however, the impact of preterm birth on speech development has not been fully investigated. The primary objective of this study was to document the conversational speech production abilities of preschoolers born preterm via speech sample analysis. A…

Feng, Qiang; Busà, M. Grazia – Second Language Research, 2023
The acquisition of Italian stop consonants by Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners has hardly been investigated. This study was designed to fill this gap. To investigate Chinese learners' acquisition patterns of Italian voiced and voiceless stops, a perception experiment and a production experiment were conducted. Twenty Mandarin Chinese-speaking…

Caron, Jessica; Light, Janice; McNaughton, David – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2023
Individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) are often excluded from learning literacy skills that use phonological approaches due to challenges with verbal production of speech sounds. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of systematic literacy instruction with materials modified to teach letter-sound…

McNeill, Brigid Catherine; Gillon, Gail; Gath, Megan – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: This study aimed to elucidate the nature of the relationship between the development of decoding and encoding skills in the first year at school. Method: The foundational literacy skills of one hundred eighty 5-year-old children were examined on three occasions over their first year of literacy instruction. Participants received the same…

Qiu, Yani; Griffiths, Sarah; Norbury, Courtenay; Taylor, J. S. H. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Irregular words cannot be read correctly by decoding letters into sounds using the most common letter-sound mapping relations. They are difficult to read and learn. Cognitive models of word reading and development as well as empirical data suggest that inhibitory control might be important for irregular word reading and its development. The…

Groll, Matti D.; McKenna, Victoria S.; Hablani, Surbhi; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The goal of this study was to explore the relationships among vocal effort, extrinsic laryngeal muscle activity, and vocal tract length (VTL) within healthy speakers. We hypothesized that increased vocal effort would result in increased suprahyoid muscle activation and decreased VTL, as previously observed in individuals with vocal…

James Mahshie; Cynthia Core; Michael D. Larsen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Despite the ability of cochlear implants (CIs) to provide children with access to speech, there is considerable variability in spoken language outcomes. Research aimed at identifying factors influencing speech production accuracy is needed. Aims: To characterize the consonant production accuracy of children with cochlear implants…

Lishi Liang; W. L. Quint Oga-Baldwin; Kaori Nakao; Luke K. Fryer; Alex Shum – Technology in Language Teaching & Learning, 2024
Phonological processing of written characters has been recognized as a crucial element in acquiring literacy in any language, both native and foreign. This study aimed to assess Japanese primary school students' phoneme-grapheme recognition skills using both paper-based and touch-interface tests. Differences between the two test formats and the…

Pittayawat Pittayaporn; Songphan Choemprayong – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2024
Moklen [mkm] is a severely endangered Austronesian language spoken by a sea-based population along the Andaman coast in the southern part of Thailand. As an initial attempt to document this language, we propose a Thai-based orthography of Moklen that not only captures all the phonemic distinctions but also considers the social, political, and…

Eline Visser – Language Documentation & Conservation, 2024
Yamdena is an Austronesian language of eastern Indonesia. Although many language materials are available, the language has received very little scientific attention. In this article, I present the Yamdena corpus, which includes glossed legacy materials and original fieldwork. I also give an up-to-date introduction to Yamdena grammar, sketching its…

Morgan Sleeper – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2024
Music plays many important roles in language revitalization, from attracting learners and fostering speech communities to supporting language learning. These effects, however, are largely independent from the skills which linguists bring to language revitalization. This study introduces one concrete way in which applied linguistics can directly…

Simonchyk, Ala; Darcy, Isabelle – Second Language Research, 2023
The study investigates the relationship between lexical encoding and production in order to establish whether learners are able to produce a difficult contrast in words that they merged in their mental lexicon. Forty American English learners of Russian were tested on their production and lexical encoding of familiar and highly-frequent words with…

Kim, Say Young; Cao, Fan – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Writing systems differ in various aspects. English and Korean share basic principles of the alphabetic writing system. As an alphabetic script, Korean Hangul has relatively more regular mapping between graphemes and phonemes; however, its letters are written in syllable units, which encourages phonological retrieval at the syllable level.…

Yüksel, Mustafa – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Auditory feedback perturbation with voice pitch manipulation has been widely used in previous studies. There are several hardware and software tools for such manipulations, but audio plug-ins developed for music, movies, and radio applications that operate in digital audio workstations may be extremely beneficial and are easy to use,…
