open access: yesGlossa, 2022
This study is concerned with sound change in single populations. Sources differ as to whether such sound changes are attributed to the accumulation of coarticulatory variation, i.e.

Subphonemic and suballophonic consonant variation : the role of the phoneme inventory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Consonants exhibit more variation in their phonetic realization than is typically acknowledged, but that variation is linguistically constrained. Acoustic analysis of both read and spontaneous speech reveals that consonants are not necessarily realized ...

Discovering Dynamical Laws for Speech Gestures

open access: yesCognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract A fundamental challenge in the cognitive sciences is discovering the dynamics that govern behavior. Take the example of spoken language, which is characterized by a highly variable and complex set of physical movements that map onto the small set of cognitive units that comprise language.

Movement Epenthesis Detection for Continuous Sign Language Recognition

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Systems, 2017
Automatic sign language recognition (SLR) is a current area of research as this is meant to serve as a substitute for sign language interpreters. In this paper, we present the design of a continuous SLR system that can extract out the meaningful signs ...

On parameter filtering in continuous subword-unit-based speech recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Simple IIR or FIR filters have been widely used in isolated or connected word recognition tasks to filter the time sequence of speech spectral parameters, since, despite their simplicity, they significantly improve recognition performance. Those filters,

Founder effects identify languages of the earliest Americans

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The known languages of the Americas comprise nearly half of the world's language families and a wide range of structural types, a level of diversity that required considerable time to develop. This paper proposes a model of settlement and expansion designed to integrate current linguistic analysis with other prehistoric research on the ...

Effects of Two Linguistically Proximal Varieties on the Spectral and Coarticulatory Properties of Fricatives: Evidence from Athenian Greek and Cypriot Greek

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Several studies have explored the acoustic structure of fricatives, yet there has been very little acoustic research on the effects of dialects on the production of fricatives.

Terminology of the growing bone: A historical study

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 761-768, October 2024.
Abstract Division of the growing long bone into individual basic parts, that is, diaphysis, metaphysis, physes and epiphyses, has become generally accepted and used. However, the origin of these terms is almost unknown. Therefore, we have analyzed the literature in order to identify their sources.
