<ns3:p>This article summarizes existing work that indicates language maintenance and revitalization efforts result in health-related benefits for Native Americans other indigenous populations. Although forced loss of ancestral has been a feature life most communities since the first contact with Europeans, pace accelerated past 50 years. Among many hardships such face, an especially troubling one is lowered health status. There are indications, however, have positive effects on physical...
Abstract While the tones of Mandarin are conveyed mainly by F₀ contour, they also differ consistently in duration and amplitude contour. The contribution these factors was examined using signal-correlated noise stimuli, which natural speech is manipulated so that it has no or formant structure but retains its original contour duration. Tones 2, 3 4 were perceptible from just even when not a cue. In two further experiments, location critical information for during course syllable extracting...
Some components of a speech signal, when made more intense, are heard simultaneously as and nonspeech—a form duplex perception. At lower intensities, the alone is heard. Such intensity-dependent duplexity implies existence phonetic mode perception that takes precedence over auditory modes.
The voiced/voiceless distinction for English utterance-initial stop consonants is primarily realized as differences in the voice onset time (VOT), which largely signaled by between burst and of voicing. voicing stops has also been shown to affect vowel’s F0 after release, with voiceless being associated higher F0. When VOT ambiguous, these ‘‘perturbations’’ have judgments. This be expected what can considered a redundant feature, that is, it should carry cases where primary feature...
The effects of the vocalic portion fricative–vowel syllables on perception alveolar and palatal fricatives were examined. fricative noises synthesized to represent a continuum from [s] [?]; vowels ranged [u] [i] through [ï] [ü]. formant transitions two types, those appropriate [?]. All stimuli presented in forced-choice labeling tests. boundary between [?] for English-speaking listeners was found vary as function both vowel. effect clear straightforward: An ambiguous noise heard more often...
This study used eye‐tracking methodology to assess audiovisual speech perception in 26 children ranging age from 5 15 years, half with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and typical development. Given the characteristic reduction gaze faces of others ASD, it was hypothesized that they would show reduced influence visual information on heard speech. Responses were compared a set auditory, visual, tasks. Even when fixated face speaker, ASD less visually influenced than development controls....
In this special collection entitled Marking 50 Years of Research on Voice Onset Time and the Voicing Contrast in World's Languages, we have compiled eleven studies investigating voicing contrast 19 languages. The provides extensive data obtained from 270 speakers across those languages, examining VOT other acoustic, aerodynamic articulatory measures. languages studied may be divided into four groups: 'aspirating' with a two-way (English, three varieties German); 'true voicing' (Russian,...
Objective. Abnormalities in brain structure, cognition, and behavior have been described children born prematurely. However, no direct vivo evidence has yet demonstrated abnormal neural processing these children. Our aim was to compare activity associated with phonologic semantic of language between term preterm using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods. fMRI scans were acquired during a passive comprehension task 26 at 8 years age 13 community control who comparable age,...
ABSTRACT The two- and three-syllable reduplicative babbling of five French-learning English-learning infants (0;5 to 1; 1) was examined in two ways for intonational differences. first measure a categorization into one categories (RISING, FALLING, RISE-FALL, FALL-RISE, LEVEL) by expert listeners. second the fundamental frequency (F 0 ) from early, middle late portion each syllable. Both measures showed significant differences between language groups. 65% utterances both groups were classified...
Fundamental frequency (F0) is used for many purposes in speech, but its linguistic significance based on relation to the speaker’s range, not absolute value. While it may be that listeners can gauge a specific pitch relative range by recognizing from experience, whether they do same an unfamiliar voice open question. The present experiment explored Twenty native speakers of English (10 male, 10 female) produced vowel /ɑ/ with spoken (not sung) quality at varying pitches within their own...
The tongue is critical in the production of speech, yet its nature has made it difficult to measure. Not only does ability attain complex shapes make track, also largely hidden from view during speech. present article describes a new combination optical tracking and ultrasound imaging that allows for noninvasive, real-time most surface running system (Optotrak) tracks location external structures 3-dimensional space using infrared emitting diodes (IREDs). By 3 or more IREDs on head similar...
The study investigated the articulatory basis of locus equations, regression lines relating F2 at start a Consonant-Vowel (CV) transition to middle vowel, with C fixed and V varying. Several studies have shown that consonants different places articulation equation slopes descend from labial velar alveolar, intercept magnitudes increase in opposite order. Using formulas theory bivariate express intercepts terms standard deviations averages variables, it is slope directly encodes...
Purpose: The present study focused on the acoustic and articulatory realization of English lexical stress in Mandarin second-language (L2) speakers English. We aimed to understand (a) how suprasegmental segmental features were used domain (b) lingual nonlingual articulators manipulated during production stress. Method: Production minimal pairs (e.g., OBject–obJECT) was analyzed. data drawn from a publicly available set consisting time-synchronous acoustic–articulatory 20 first-language (L1)...
