Consistently longer silent gaps in autistic speaker pairs across three conversational contexts [PDF]
We investigated the timing of turn-taking in matched autistic compared to non-autistic pairs of adult speakers. Turn-taking—the organisation of who speaks when—is the fundamental mechanism of communicative interaction, and has been found to be remarkably

Noggin Nodding: Head Movement Correlates With Increased Effort in Accelerating Speech Production Tasks [PDF]
Movements of the head and speech articulators have been observed in tandem during an alternating word pair production task driven by an accelerating rate metronome. Word pairs contrasted either onset or coda dissimilarity with same word controls. Results

Adult Learning of Novel Words in a Non-native Language: Consonants, Vowels, and Tones [PDF]
While words are distinguished primarily by consonants and vowels in many languages, tones are also used in the majority of the world's languages to cue lexical contrasts. However, studies on novel word learning have largely concentrated on consonants and

Recently, Roon, Hoole, Zeroual, Du, and Gafos (2021) have offered evidence that an empirical estimate of stiffness, a parameter in the dynamics hypothesized to control the kinematics of gestures, modulates overlap in consonant clusters of Moroccan Arabic.

Stiffness and articulatory overlap in Moroccan Arabic consonant clusters
It has been claimed that patterns of regressive place assimilation in consonant clusters are attributable to the ‘inherent velocities’ of the primary oral articulators involved.

First conjunct complementiser agreement and the structure of coordination
A recurring question in relation to first conjunct agreement concerns the underlying structure of the coordination: is first conjunct agreement the result of agreement with the first conjunct of a nominal coordination, or is it the result of agreement ...

Phonetic indices of syllabic organization in German stop-lateral clusters
Using articulatory data from five German speakers, we study how segmental sequences under different syllabic organizations respond to perturbations of phonetic parameters in the segments that compose them.

Uncovering the Structure of Semantic Representations Using a Computational Model of Decision‐Making
Abstract According to logical theories of meaning, a meaning of an expression can be formalized and encoded in truth conditions. Vagueness of the language and individual differences between people are a challenge to incorporate into the meaning representations. In this paper, we propose a new approach to study truth‐conditional representations of vague
