The Self-Organization of Speech Sounds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The speech code is a vehicle of language: it defines a set of forms used by a community to carry information. Such a code is necessary to support the linguistic interactions that allow humans to communicate. How then may a speech code be formed prior to

Articulatory Control by Gestural Coupling and Syllable Pulses

open access: yesLanguages
Explaining 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 ...

The use and function of gestures in word-finding difficulties in aphasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Gestures are spontaneous hand and arm movements that are part of everyday communication. The roles of gestures in communication are disputed. Most agree that they augment the information conveyed in speech. More contentiously, some argue that

The Politeness Prosody of the Javanese Directive Speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This experimental phonetic research deals with the prosodies of directive speech in Javanese. The research procedures were: (1) speech production, (2) acoustic analysis, and (3) perception test.

Functional heterogeneity within the default network during semantic processing and speech production.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2012
This fMRI study investigated the functional heterogeneity of the core nodes of the default mode network (DMN) during language processing. The core nodes of the DMN were defined as task-induced deactivations over multiple tasks in 94 healthy subjects.

Revisiting the Status of Speech Rhythm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Text-to-Speech synthesis offers an interesting manner of synthesising various knowledge components related to speech production. To a certain extent, it provides a new way of testing the coherence of our understanding of speech production in a highly ...

Acoustic emphasis in four year olds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Acoustic emphasis may convey a range of subtle discourse distinctions, yet little is known about how this complex ability develops in children. This paper presents a first investigation of the factors which influence the production of acoustic prominence

Structural Organization of the Laryngeal Motor Cortical Network and Its Implication for Evolution of Speech Production

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2016
The laryngeal motor cortex (LMC) is essential for the production of learned vocal behaviors because bilateral damage to this area renders humans unable to speak but has no apparent effect on innate vocalizations such as human laughing and crying or ...

Predicting Chronicity in Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Immune Thrombocytopenia at the Timepoint of Diagnosis Using Machine Learning‐Based Approaches

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To identify predictors of chronic ITP (cITP) and to develop a model based on several machine learning (ML) methods to estimate the individual risk of chronicity at the timepoint of diagnosis. Methods We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 944 children enrolled in the Intercontinental Cooperative immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) Study ...

Speech monitoring and phonologically-mediated eye gaze in language perception and production: a comparison using printed word eye-tracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Perceptual Loop Theory of speech monitoring assumes that speakers routinely inspect their inner speech. In contrast, Huettig and Hartsuiker (2010) observed that listening to one's own speech during language production drives eye-movements to ...
