Batstone, Susan; Tuomi, Seppo K. – Language and Speech, 1981
Male and females listeners rated 21 young female voices on seven scales representing unique vocal features. Voices were described as "passive", or traditionally female, and "active," characterized as "lively,""colorful," and "sexy." Females found active characteristics more salient; males preferred the passive characteristics. Implications for…

Hieke, Adolf E. – Language and Speech, 1981
Shows that hesitation phenomena are intricately connected with propspective and retrospective speech production tasks and mark critical points in processing. Two major hesitation categories exist: stalls and repairs. Stalls head off errors and represent error-free output; repairs take care of errors already committed. English and German examples…

Burkholder, Rose A.; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
Compared speaking rates, digit span, and speech timing in profoundly deaf 8- and 9-year-olds with cochlear implants and normal-hearing children. Found that deaf children displayed longer sentence durations and pauses during recall and shorter digit spans than normal-hearing children. Articulation rates strongly correlated with immediate memory…

Boberg, Einer; Kully, Deborah – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
Testing of 17 adult and 25 adolescent stutterers during a 12-month to 24-month postintensive treatment phase revealed that 69% of subjects maintained satisfactory fluency on surprise phone calls at home/work and 80% of subjects rated their speech fluency as good or fair on the Speech Performance Questionnaire.

Yavas, Mehmet; Hernandorena, Carmen Matzenauer – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1991
This case study of a seven-year-old Portuguese-speaking child examined hypotheses concerning systematic sound preference (where a group of sounds with the same manner of articulation is represented by one or two sounds in production). Word position and stress patterns were found to be important in the systematicity of sound preference. (Author/DB)

Cutler, Anne; Scott, Donia R. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1990
Investigates whether listener bias contributes to the mistaken notion that women talk more than men. Perceptual effects (misjudgments of rates of speech) and attitudes to social roles and perception of power relations are suggested to be among the factors contributing to the misjudgment. (GLR)

Schiavetti, Nicholas; Whitehead, Robert L.; Whitehead, Brenda; Metz, Dale Evan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
A study of 10 typical women investigated the effect of fingerspelling task length on temporal characteristics and perceived naturalness of speech produced during simultaneous communication. Speech produced during simultaneous communication was rated as less natural and demonstrated increased interword interval, diphthong, work, and sentence…

Bishop, Dorothy; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1994
Analysis of the conversations of 6 children (mean age 11 years) with semantic-pragmatic disorder found they were more likely to produce initiating utterances (rather than acknowledging or responding utterances) with both familiar and unfamiliar partners than other children of similar age or ability. Subjects did not produce more utterances or…

Kerr, M. Kaye – 1993
This investigation compared self-talk use in five preschool autistic children (ages 57 to 86 months) and in matched chronological age and mental age peer groups. Videotape recordings of the children during free play with and without an adult were coded for the following self-talk categories: (1) private, mastery speech; (2) stereotypic…

Marlin, John – 1990
Debaters have several poor word-choice and word-formation habits that detract from their ethos as advocates as well as from the clarity of their arguments. In many instances, debaters, to their competitive and educational detriment, employ habitual phrases, questionable redefinitions, and poorly coined new words. Many currently popular debate…

Hardcastle, W. J. – Journal of Phonetics, 1975
Reports on the effects of oral anaesthesia and auditory masking on various aspects of speech articulation as objectively quantified by electropalatography and sound spectrography. The results show changes in speech production caused by altered tactile and auditory feedback. (Author/TL)

Stevens, Kenneth N.; Blumstein, Sheila E. – Journal of Phonetics, 1975
Acoustic properties of retroflex consonants were determined and interpreted in terms of acoustic theory. The results are considered in relation to a quantal theory, auditory property detectors, and theoretical notions of markedness. (Author/TL)

Hess-Luttich, Ernest W. B. – Deutsche Sprache, 1974
The linguistic behavior of a given individual varies; he will on different occasions speak (or write) differently according to what may be roughly described as different social situations: he will use a number of different registers. The application of such registers both in the field of text analysis and in the preparation of teaching materials…
