Combining Autoregressive Models and Phonological Knowledge Bases for Improved Accuracy in Korean Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion

IEEE Access
Recent advances in deep learning have highlighted the importance of Grapheme-to-Phoneme (G2P) conversion in natural language processing and speech synthesis.

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

Language Learning, EarlyView.
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 ...

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

Learning and distraction: Evidence for cognitive load interference in medical education

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Distraction may increase cognitive load. Cues may decrease it. But what happens if we cue in distracted learning environments? Does effective instruction buffer against the detrimental effects of distraction? Methods In a 2 × 2 factorial experiment, 117 s–year medical students without prior knowledge watched a standardised ...

Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
It is widely agreed that language understanding has a distinctive phenomenology, as illustrated by phenomenal contrast cases. Yet it remains unclear how to account for the perceptual phenomenology of language experience. I advance a rhythmic account, which explains this phenomenology in terms of changes in the rhythm of sensory capacities in both ...

The effect of multimodal input on L2 learners' reading comprehension: A preregistered eye‐tracking study

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Multimodal materials (e.g., written text supplemented by images and/or audio) are commonplace in language classrooms. While they have been consistently shown to be beneficial for vocabulary acquisition, the efficacy of multimodal input in scaffolding text comprehension is less clear. Conflicting findings have also been reported in terms of the

The Organization of Constraints on Phonological Speech Errors [PDF]

, 1987
The intrinsic and extrinsic constraints are taken into account in the analysis of 455 consonantal errors - part of a corpus containing about 1500 Italian lapses. Parameters governing both types of constraints, and the hierarchical organization of the extrinsic ones are discussed. Our results provide evidence for some phonological properties of Italian.
