Language-independent talker-specificity in bilingual speech intelligibility: Individual traits persist across first-language and second-language speech

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2018
The present study provides evidence of a positive correlation between L1 and L2 intelligibility for bilingual talkers. Each talker in a group of Mandarin-English and Korean-English bilinguals was recorded producing simple sentences in each of their ...

Asymmetric switch costs in numeral naming and number word reading: Implications for models of bilingual language production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
One approach used to gain insight into the processes underlying bilingual language comprehension and production examines the costs that arise from switching languages.

Vocabulary size influences spontaneous speech in native language users: Validating the use of automatic speech recognition in individual differences research

open access: yes, 2020
Previous research has shown that vocabulary size affects performance on laboratory word production tasks. Individuals who know many words show faster lexical access and retrieve more words belonging to pre-specified categories than individuals who know ...

The neural correlates of speech motor sequence learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Speech is perhaps the most sophisticated example of a species-wide movement capability in the animal kingdom, requiring split-second sequencing of approximately 100 muscles in the respiratory, laryngeal, and oral movement systems. Despite the unique role

Effekte von Aussprachetraining im Klassenverband bei frankophonen Deutschlernenden [PDF]

open access: yesLinguistische Treffen in Wrocław, 2020
The efficiency of pronunciation training in the classroom in French learners of German was studied. To this end the German vowel length contrast and word initial [h] productions were examined.

The use of electroencephalography (EEG) in language production research: A review

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Speech production long avoided electrophysiological experiments due to the suspicion that potential artifacts caused by muscle activity of overt speech may lead to a bad signal-to-noise ratio in the measurements.

Model-Based and Model-Free Analyses of the Neural Correlates of Tongue Movements

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The tongue performs movements in all directions to subserve its diverse functions in chewing, swallowing, and speech production. Using task-based functional MRI in a group of 17 healthy young participants, we studied (1) potential differences in the ...

The effects of lexical frequency and homophone neighborhood density on incomplete tonal neutralization

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
We investigated the effects of lexical frequency and homophone neighborhood density on the acoustic realization of two neutralizing falling tones in Dalian Mandarin Chinese.

The Effect of Speaking Rate on Audio and Visual Speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The speed that an utterance is spoken affects both the duration of the speech and the position of the articulators. Consequently, the sounds that are produced are modified, as are the position and appearance of the lips, teeth, tongue and other visible ...

Articulating: the neural mechanisms of speech production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Speech production is a highly complex sensorimotor task involving tightly coordinated processing across large expanses of the cerebral cortex. Historically, the study of the neural underpinnings of speech suffered from the lack of an animal model.
