Lombard Effect in Polish Speech and its Comparison in English Speech
Archives of Acoustics, 2017 The first extensive investigation on the Lombard effect with Polish speech has been performed. Characteristic parameters of Lombard speech were measured: intensity, fundamental frequency, spectral tilt, duration of words, duration of pauses and duration ...

Oromotor Nonverbal Performance and Speech Motor Control: Theory and Review of Empirical Evidence
Brain Sciences, 2023 This position paper offers a perspective on the long-standing debate concerning the role of oromotor, nonverbal gestures in understanding typical and disordered speech motor control secondary to neurological disease. Oromotor nonverbal tasks are employed

Neurobiology of Speech Production
, 2016 Speaking is a dynamic process in which neural representations associated with language and the constantly changing vocal tract configurations used to produce speech are seamlessly integrated to communicate. This integrative process requires a stable repertoire of motor routines and associated flexible sensorimotor and cognitive processes for speech ...

Setting up the speech production network : how oscillations contribute to lateralized information routing [PDF]
, 2012 Speech production involves widely distributed brain regions. This MEG study focuses on the spectro-temporal dynamics that contribute to the setup of this network. In 21 participants performing a cue-target reading paradigm, we analyzed local oscillations

Articulatory Control by Gestural Coupling and Syllable Pulses
LanguagesExplaining the relative timing of consonant and vowel articulations (C-V timing) is an important function of speech production models. This article explores how C-V timing might be studied from the perspective of the C/D Model, particularly the ...
