Cortical Tracking of Speech Across Rhythm Classes in English‐, French‐, and Japanese‐Learning 4‐ and 8‐Month‐Old Infants

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT It has been proposed that the world's languages fall into three rhythmic classes according to the units that determine their rhythmic structure: stress‐based (e.g., English), syllable‐based (e.g., French), and mora‐based (e.g., Japanese). These rhythmic differences modulate language‐specific processing in adults and young infants.

Estimation of formant frequencies using machine learning

, 2019
This Master's thesis deals with the issue of formant extraction. A system of scripts in Matlab interface is created to generate values of the first three formant frequencies from speech recordings with the use of Praat and Snack(WaveSurfer).

Early Musical Predictions in the Brain as Indexed by the Mismatch Negativity—From Acoustic Deviants to Cognitive Musical Errors

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 5, September 2026.
Over the past two decades, ecologically valid music paradigms have shown that mismatch negativity (MMN) reflects a primitive musical intelligence, indexing hierarchical auditory predictions in music that parallel those observed in speech. MMN captures processing from early sensory detection in superior temporal cortices to higher order frontal ...

Gender‐Specific Phonetic Variability in Sanzhi Dargwa

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 466-481, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Western sociophonetic research often overlooks minority languages. Our study targets this gap with a sociophonetic study of Sanzhi Dargwa, an endangered East Caucasian language spoken in Dagestan (Russian Federation) by a small community with clearly defined binary gender roles.

Modelling Speech Signals Using Formant Frequencies as an Intermediate Representation

, 2007
Multiple-level segmental hidden Markov models (M-SHMMs) in which the relationship between symbolic and acoustic representations of speech is regulated by a formant-based intermediate representation are considered.

Head Gestures Do Not Serve as Precursors of Prosodic Focus Marking in the Second Language as They Do in the First Language

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 3, Page 845-879, September 2026.
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 ...

The male voice: an evolutionary perspective [PDF]

The introduction to this thesis outlines the evolutionary theory of human mating behaviour and describes the process of vocal production and auditory perception in humans. In addition it provides a brief overview of some of the research studies examining

An acoustic study on monophthongs in Central Australian Aboriginal English

World Englishes, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 680-703, September 2026.
Abstract We present an acoustic analysis of monophthongal vowel production in Central Australian Aboriginal English (CAAE), providing one of the first systematic examinations of this variety spoken by English‐as‐a‐first‐language (L1) speakers in Mparntwe/Alice Springs, Australia.

Speech and Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease, Essential Tremor, and Dystonia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Movement Disorders, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1928-1978, August 2026.
Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively treats motor symptoms in movement disorders but often compromises speech through incompletely defined mechanisms. We conducted a PROSPERO‐registered systematic review and meta‐analysis of publications through August 2024 (CRD42024527738).

Influences of transformed auditory feedback with first three formant frequencies [PDF]

, 2011
Auditory feedback is one of important roles from speech production to perception. It also directly affects speech production under several feedback situations, such as noise environment, delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and transformed auditory feedback ...
