Articulation Rate and Speech Rhythm in Child-Directed Speech and Adult-Directed Speech

Journal of Indian Speech Language & Hearing Association, 2022
Introduction Studies have demonstrated that mothers exaggerate linguistic, segmental and supra-segmental properties of Child-Directed Speech. However, these studies have majorly focused on acoustic characteristics of pitch and its related measures. There

Using synchronous speech to facilitate acquisition of English rhythm: A small-­scale study

EuroAmerican Journal of Applied Linguistics and Languages, 2014
While appropriate stress and rhythm is of importance for any speaker’s intelligibility, such properties are critical for international teaching assistants (ITA), who deliver new and complex information to native speaker audiences.

Rhythm in the speech of a person with right hemisphere damage: Applying the pairwise variability index [PDF]

, 2007
Although several aspects of prosody have been studied in speakers with right hemisphere damage (RHD), rhythm remains largely uninvestigated. This study compares the rhythm of an Australian English speaker with right hemisphere damage (due to a stroke ...

In Time with the Beat: Entrainment in Patients with Phonological Impairment, Apraxia of Speech, and Parkinson’s Disease

Brain Sciences, 2021
In the present study, we investigated if individuals with neurogenic speech sound impairments of three types, Parkinson’s dysarthria, apraxia of speech, and aphasic phonological impairment, accommodate their speech to the natural speech rhythm of an ...

The combination of rhythm and pitch can account for the beneficial effect of Melodic intonation therapy on connected speech improvements in Broca’s aphasia

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) is a structured protocol for language rehabilitation in people with Broca’s aphasia. The main particularity of MIT is the use of intoned-speech, a technique in which the clinician stylizes the prosody of short sentences ...

The importance of temporal-fine structure to perceive time-compressed speech with and without the restoration of the syllabic rhythm

Scientific Reports, 2023
Intelligibility of time-compressed (TC) speech decreases with increasing speech rate. However, intelligibility can be restored by ‘repackaging’ the TC speech by inserting silences between the syllables so that the original ‘rhythm’ is restored.

Speech and music discrimination: Human detection of differences between music and speech based on rhythm [PDF]

, 2016
Rhythm in speech and singing forms one of its basic acoustic components. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the capability of subjects to distinguish between speech and singing when only the rhythm remains as an acoustic cue.

Differential sensitivity to speech rhythms in young and older adults

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
Sensitivity to the temporal properties of auditory patterns tends to be poorer in older listeners, and this has been hypothesized to be one factor contributing to their poorer speech understanding.

Rhythm but not melody processing helps reading via phonological awareness and phonological memory

Scientific Reports, 2022
Despite abundant evidence that music skills relate to enhanced reading performance, the mechanisms subtending this relation are still under discussion. The Temporal Sampling Framework (TSF) provides a well-defined explanation for the music-reading link ...
