An Imaging‐Guided Neural Model Explains Lexical Stress Alteration in Acquired Apraxia of Speech

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 46, Issue 17, 01 December 2025.
This study reanalysed neuroimaging data from individuals with acquired apraxia of speech (AOS) to simulate lesion effects in the GODIVA neurocomputational speech model. The lesioned model reproduced characteristic lexical stress alterations in AOS, supporting a mechanistic explanation of the disorder involving an engaged feedback control system and ...

Acquisition du schwa en français (suisse) : pourquoi une combinaison de méthodes est-elle nécessaire pour assurer des données fiables ?

Lidil, 2015
Although schwa is a heavily studied phenomenon, we still know little about its behaviour in the course of language acquisition. One reason behind this lacuna could be the challenge of how to obtain reliable data. In this paper, we continue the discussion

ChangePointCNN‐GNSS: An AI Model for Assessing Change Points and Optimizing Site Velocity Estimation From Global GNSS Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Estimating long‐term site velocities from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)‐derived daily displacement time series is vital for studying secular tectonic motions and establishing regional and global geodetic reference frames. However, this estimation is complicated by displacements caused by earthquakes, equipment changes, hydraulic ...

Early Context-Conditioned Orthographic Knowledge in European Portuguese: The Spelling of the Schwa

Frontiers in Education, 2020
This longitudinal study examined how the phonemic-orthographic context affects the spelling of the schwa (/ɨ/) by Portuguese beginning spellers at two time points in the first school grade.

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on voluntary muscle activation and peripheral muscle contractility following short‐term bed rest

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 12, Page 1966-1977, December 1, 2025.
Abstract Disuse induces a disproportionate loss of muscle force compared with muscle mass, with unclear effects on voluntary muscle activation (VA) and peripheral contractility. Furthermore, the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a disuse countermeasure remains uncertain.

Contact and Language Change: Using the Present to Explain the Past1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 409-427, November 2025.
Abstract Although we may know the outcome of language changes that could have resulted from language contact in the past, we are unlikely to know how and why these changes occurred unless we also know about the individual speakers who came into contact and the nature of their interactions—information that all too often is impossible to uncover.

The Integration of Norse‐Derived Terms in English: Effects of Formal Similarity1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 556-591, November 2025.
Abstract Language change arising from language contact is a complex phenomenon. Peter Matthews encouraged researchers to consider it as firmly grounded in the behaviour of individual speakers. We apply this perspective to investigate the integration of Norse‐derived terms into medieval English, testing for the effect of their phonetic similarity to ...

Pressure Points on Representational Quality: Evolving the Traditional Instructional Model for Dyslexia

Mind, Brain, and Education, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 298-310, November 2025.
Abstract Dyslexia is a developmental word reading and spelling disorder affecting from 6% to 17% of school‐age children. Phonological processing deficits—marked by difficulties in representing or accessing the abstract units of spoken language—are widely recognized as a primary cause of reading difficulties in children with dyslexia.

Mother Tongue Influence and Global English: Creating “Neutral” Elites in Delhi's Business Processing Outsourcing Industry

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 3, Page 466-475, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Mother tongue influence (MTI) is a widely used yet often underdefined term in India's business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. “Mother tongue” is an unavoidable, yet fraught political category linked to sovereignty, education, region, and ethnicity.
