Voice and Speech in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Background Motor speech disorders are early, common, and functionally limiting features of atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These impairments are underrecognized and undertreated in neurology clinics.

The functional weight of a prosodic cue in the native language predicts the learning of speech segmentation in a second language [PDF]

Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017
This study newly investigates whether the functional weight of a prosodic cue in the native language predicts listeners’ learning and use of that cue in second-language speech segmentation. It compares English and Dutch listeners’ use of fundamental-frequency (F0) rise as a cue to word-final boundaries in French. F0 rise signals word-initial boundaries
