Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech. We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Acoustic-phonetics based speech recognition [PDF]
Proceedings of the workshop on Speech and Natural Language - HLT '89, 1989 The objective of this project is to develop a robust and high-performance speech recognition system using a segment-based approach to phonetic recognition. The recognition system will eventually be integrated with natural language processing to achieve spoken language understanding.
