Recent empirical studies have highlighted the large degree of analytic flexibility in data analysis that can lead to substantially different conclusions based on same set. Thus, researchers expressed their concerns these researcher degrees freedom might facilitate bias and claims do not stand test time. Even greater is be expected fields which primary lend themselves a variety possible operationalizations. The multidimensional, temporally extended nature speech constitutes an ideal testing...
Tonal coarticulation occurs when adjacent tones affect the production of each other, and this often induces changes in both F0 voice quality tones. In Mandarin, height target tone is affected by through carryover assimilation anticipatory dissimilation. addition, found to be largely dependent on F0, such that lower creakier quality, regardless tone.

Variation in voicing is common among sounds of the world’s languages: that are analyzed as voiceless can undergo voicing, and those voiced devoice. Among glottal particular, widespread: linguists often expect stop [ʔ] fricative [h] to be fully voiced, especially between vowels. In this study, we use audio recordings from Illustrations International Phonetic Alphabet published Journal Association explore extent which consonants non-modal (breathy creaky) vowels differ terms percentage...
Abstract The hypothesis that impoverished language experience affects complex sentence structure development around the end of early childhood was tested using a fully randomized, sentence‐to‐picture matching study in American Sign Language (ASL). participants were ASL signers who had or typical access to childhood. Deaf whose highly ( N = 11) primarily comprehended structures consisting single verb and argument (Subject Object), agreeing verbs, spatial relation path semantic classifiers....
Previous work has shown mixed findings concerning the role of voice quality cues in Mandarin tones, with some studies showing that creak improves identification. This study tests linguistic importance acoustic properties for tone perception. speakers identified tones four resynthesized manipulations: low spectral tilt, irregular F0, period doubling, and extra-low F0. Two experiments three conditions were conducted. In Experiment 1, manipulations confined to a portion stimuli's duration; 2...
Cognitive impairment after acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is common. While the evidence of early cognitive at stage ICH limited. We determined frequency and risk factors investigated its association with delayed ICH.A total 208 patients were enrolled from January 2017 to February 2019. function was assessed during follow-up using Montreal Assessment (MoCA) score. Significant defined as having a MoCA score <20 (within 1 week hospital admission) or follow-up.The mean observation period...
Background and purpose Data on earlobe crease (ELC) among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are limited. Here, we determined the frequency characteristics of ELC prognostic effect AIS patients. Methods A total 936 were enrolled during period between December 2018 2019. The divided into those without ELC, unilateral bilateral shallow deep according to photographs taken ears. Logistic regression models used estimate poor functional outcomes at 90 days (a modified Rankin Scale score ≥2)...

In Mandarin, height target tone is affected by through carryover assimilation anticipatory dissimilation (Xu, 1997). Additionally, found to be largely dependent on F0, such that lower creakier quality, regardless (Kuang, 2017).

Period-doubled phonation, henceforth, period doubling, characterized by voicing periods that alternate in amplitudes and/or frequencies, is often perceived rough and with an indeterminate pitch. Lower pitch percept has been suggested past studies when the degree of amplitude or frequency modulation increases. However, how listeners use doubling identifying linguistic tones remains unclear. The current study uses tasks categorization training, followed imitation manipulated (with modulation,...

Patients with gynecologic cancer who undergo lymphadenectomy are at increased risk of lower extremity lymphedema (LEL). They encouraged to be alert the possibility LEL and take risk-management measures throughout life. However, we know little about perception for adherence Chinese patients cancer.
Tonal coarticulation often induces changes in F0 (Xu, 1997; Brunelle, 2009) as well voice quality (DiCanio, 2012). In Mandarin, covaries with F0, such that when the is higher or lower than mid-range pitch, becomes creakier (Kuang, 2017). However, fewer studies have examined how can affect a tone’s quality. Using audio and electroglottography (EGG), this study investigates of Mandarin tones are affected by coarticulation. The stimuli consisted trisyllabic compounds, where each four flanked...
Period-doubled voice consists of two alternating periods with multiple frequencies and is often perceived as rough an indeterminate pitch. Past pitch-matching studies in period-doubled found that the pitch was lower degree amplitude frequency modulation between increased. The perceptual outcome also differed across f0s types: a f0 prompted earlier identification pitch, matched dropped more quickly frequency- than amplitude-modulated tokens (Sun & Xu, 2002; Bergan Titze, 2001). However,...
Hengyang belongs to the Hengzhou branch of Xiang Chinese; it contrasts six tones: high rising (45), falling-rising (213), low-rising (24), low level (11), mid (33), and low-mid (22). Liu (2010) found that (213) (24) tones have merged become a distinct low-dipping tone (214), as in Mandarin. This merger is attributed language contact influence from Mandarin, because mostly observed frequent words has stronger tendency among younger populations (Liu, 2010). However, unclear whether this...
