Coarticulation of Handshape in Sign Language of the Netherlands: A Corpus Study
Laboratory Phonology, 2017 This article investigates the articulation of the thumb in flat handshapes (B handshapes) in Sign Language of the Netherlands. On the basis of phonological models of handshape, the hypothesis was generated that the thumb state is variable and will ...

Brittany Bernal - Sensorimotor Adaptation of Vowel Production in Stop Consonant Contexts [PDF]
, 2013 The purpose of this research is to measure the compensatory and adaptive articulatory response to shifted formants in auditory feedback to compare the resulting amount of sensorimotor learning that takes place in speakers upon saying the words /pep/ and /

Prosody outweighs statistics in 6‐month‐old German‐learning infants' speech segmentation
Infancy, 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
Developmental 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.

Consonant Context Effects on Vowel Sensorimotor Adaptation [PDF]
, 2014 Speech sensorimotor adaptation is the short-term learning of modified articulator movements evoked through sensory-feedback perturbations. A common experimental method manipulates acoustic parameters, such as formant frequencies, using real time ...

American 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.

Anticipatory coarticulation in Hungarian VnC sequences [PDF]
, 2010 The duration of the vowel and the nasal was analyzed in the casual pronunciation of Hungarian words containing the sequence V n .C, where ‘.’ is a syllable boundary and C is a stop, affricate, fricative, or approximant.

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 18, Issue 3, May/June 2024.Abstract A'ingae (or Cofán, ISO 639‐3: con) is an indigenous language isolate spoken in northeast Ecuador and southern Colombia. This paper presents the first comprehensive overview of the A'ingae phonology, including descriptions of (i) the language's phonemic inventory, (ii) phonotactics and a number of related phonological rules, (iii) nasality and ...

Perception of Coarticulated Lip Rounding [PDF]
Phonetica, 1976 Abstract This study investigates the perceivability of coarticulated lip rounding in French. Nine utterances containing the clusters /kstr/, /rstr/, and /rskr/ followed by one of the vowels /i/, /y/, or /u/ in all possible combinations, were truncated at 4 different points before the vowel.

Acquisition des voyelles nasales du français et interférences du cantonais
Lidil, 2019 The coarticulatory nasalized vowels can be commonly found in many languages in the world. Meanwhile, regarded as independent phoneme, the nasal vowels are present only in few languages. Featured by an important rate of nasalance and the specific position
