Developing Associations to the Sounds of a Name

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Sound symbolism refers to associations between language sounds and certain perceptual or semantic properties. One well‐studied example is the maluma/takete effect, in which individuals tend to associate round‐sounding nonwords like maluma with round shapes, and spiky‐sounding nonwords like takete with spiky shapes.

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

open access: yesHuman 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 ?

open access: yesLidil, 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Kabyle "Double" Consonants: Long or Strong? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This paper describes the results of an acoustic experiment designed to test the properties of Kabyle Berber's "double" consonants. There is a debate in the literature as to whether these "double" consonants should be analyzed as geminate, long or fortis ...

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

open access: yesExperimental 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.
