European Journal of Philosophy, 2011
AbstractThe question which this paper examines is that of the correct scope of the claim that extra‐linguistic factors (such as gender and social status) can block the proper workings of natural language.

Influence of Compressor Action on Speech Intelligibility

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1967
The effects of compressor action, which reduces the long-term dynamic range of speech, on intelligibility of monosyllabic words presented in quiet was investigated. Three ratios of change in input level to change in output level were used, namely, 1- to 1-dB, 2- to 1-dB, and 3- to 1-dB.

Bidirectional semantic interference between action and speech

Psychological Research, 2011
Research on embodied cognition assumes that language processing involves modal simulations that recruit the same neural systems that are usually used for action execution. If this is true, one should find evidence for bidirectional crosstalk between action and language.

Hand Actions and Speech Representation in Broca's Area

Cortex, 2006
This paper presents data and theoretical framework supporting a new interpretation of the role played by Broca's area. Recent brain imaging studies report that, in addition to speech-related activation, Broca's area is also significantly involved during tasks devoid of verbal content.

Speech as Action

AbstractThis chapter deals with the connections of Austin’s speech act theory with his philosophy of action (focused on excuses, that is, the ways in which language extenuates action) and examines the conception of action that is implicit in How to Do Things with Words. It remarks that in the case of the locutionary act, Austin individuates subordinate
