Abstract Recent research has suggested that the contribution of individual sociolinguistic variables to social perception a speaker is influenced by other available information about (Campbell-Kibler, 2007; Pharao, Maegaard, Spindler Møller, & Kristiansen, 2014). Here we investigate impact listener awareness regional variation on perception. Specifically, compare how meanings attributed word-internal, preconsonantal /s/ differ based whether listeners and speakers use predominantly...
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...
Abstract This study examines how cohesion and parent–child conflict relate to alcohol use among Mexican-heritage adolescents. The sample consists of 120 adolescents (14 18 years) participants from the Southwest sub-sample Latino Acculturation Health Project. Lifetime recent binge drinking were tested. Results logistic regressions identified high low levels family as a risk factor for compared medium cohesion, predicted lifetime drinking. Low appear be especially problematic Mexican who are...
This study examines the perceptions of data-driven decision making (DDDM) activities and culture in organizations driven by a social mission. Analysis survey information from multiple stakeholders each eight enterprises highlights wide divergence views DDDM. Within an organization, managerial nonmanagerial staff working for organization prominent funder all expressed different same organization’s DDDM culture. Study findings also provide insights into how to improve capacity build use...
This paper presents a 15-week classroom study measuring the student outcomes of instructor-led pronunciation lessons versus entirely ASR-based training. Seventy-six second-semester Spanish language learners were divided into two groups, one experimental (n=44) and control (n=32). Over course six modules, both groups completed pre- post-study recording, as well explicit training sessions. These sessions included post-recordings, with either traditional or ASR practice in between, which aimed...
In this study, we propose an augmentation method for machine learning based on relabeling data in caregiving and nursing staff indoor localization with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. Indoor is used to monitor staff-to-patient assistance gain insights into workload management. However, improving accuracy challenging when there a limited amount of available training. paper, reuse the Received Signal Strength (RSS) from different beacons by locations less samples, resolving imbalance....
Abstract In several dialects of Spanish, men tend to exhibit more intervocalic /s/ voicing than women, e. g., oso ‘bear’ as [ozo], and this difference may have a physiological basis. File-Muriel et al. (2015, Disentangling the from socially-learned in gradient, sociophonetic processes: Evidence s-realization Barranquilla, Colombia. Unpublished manuscript) found that vocal tract size conditions aspiration Nadeu Hualde (2013, Reinterpretation biomechanics gender-conditioned variation origin...
Research in sociophonetic perception has suggested that linguistic factors influence the social meaning of a particular variant, such strength appears to be mediated by like grammatical category or phonological environment. Here, we further investigate impact on sociolinguistic variables examining evaluations /s/ aspiration speech four male Puerto Rican Spanish speakers. We look at how this variable pattern based context (preconsonantal vs. prevocalic), proportion given variant ([s] [h])...
The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) worldwide has risen dramatically with 1 3 deaths happening in Western Pacific region according to the 2017 report International Federation. Philippines ranks 5th WP most cases diabetes. Local experts and IDF estimate that half people diabetes are unaware they have it will likely remain undiagnosed. Conventional ways detect if a person often invasive painful such as puncturing fingers for blood sample. Though non-invasive DM detection techniques gained...
Abstract Intervocalic /s/ voicing is of much interest recently in Hispanic Linguistics for two principal reasons: this feature has been attested diverse dialects Spanish, and it shown to correlate production perception with social factors ( Davidson 2014 ; Chappell 2016 García 2019 among others). One finding that often surfaces male speakers voice more than female speakers, recent studies consider whether may be due physiological differences File-Muriel, Brown, Gradoville 2015 2017 ). The...
