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.

Prosody outweighs statistics in 6‐month‐old German‐learning infants' speech segmentation

open access: yesInfancy, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 750-770, September/October 2024.
Abstract It is well established that infants use various cues to find words within fluent speech from about 7 to 8 months of age. Research suggests that two main mechanisms support infants' speech segmentation: prosodic cues like the word stress patterns, and distributional cues like transitional probabilities (TPs).

Infants’ abilities to segment word forms from spectrally degraded speech in the first year of life

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 27, Issue 5, September 2024.
Abstract Infants begin to segment word forms from fluent speech—a crucial task in lexical processing—between 4 and 7 months of age. Prior work has established that infants rely on a variety of cues available in the speech signal (i.e., prosodic, statistical, acoustic‐segmental, and lexical) to accomplish this task.

Correcting the record: Phonetic potential of primate vocal tracts and the legacy of Philip Lieberman (1934−2022)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 8, August 2024.
Inspection of articulating primates reveal nuance, but do not refute that human speech production is uniquely efficient. Abstract The phonetic potential of nonhuman primate vocal tracts has been the subject of considerable contention in recent literature.

On the nature of the perception-production link: Individual variability in English sibilant-vowel coarticulation

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2019
This study aims to elucidate the nature of the perception–production link with respect to coarticulation by examining the production and perception of English sibilants before different vowels. A group of native speakers of American English were recorded
