Words and Meters: Neural Evidence for a Connection Between Individual Differences in Statistical Learning and Rhythmic Ability in Infancy. [PDF]
Dev SciABSTRACT Music and language are both hierarchically structured: syllables combine into words, and meters are groupings of musical beats. Statistical learning (SL) supports speech segmentation through computation of transitional probabilities between syllables, and individual differences in SL ability were found predictive of further language ...

Sonority as a Phonological Cue in Early Perception of Written Syllables in French
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Many studies focused on the letter and sound co-occurrences to account for the well-documented syllable-based effects in French in visual (pseudo)word processing.

Integrating syllable boundary information into speech recognition [PDF]
1997 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2002 We examine the proposition that knowledge of the timing of syllabic onsets may be useful in improving the performance of speech recognition systems. A method of estimating the location of syllable onsets derived from the analysis of energy trajectories in critical band channels has been developed, and a syllable-based decoder has been designed and ...

The Adult Perceptual Limen of Syllable Segregation in Typically Developing Paediatric Speech
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 Inappropriate gaps between syllables are one of the core diagnostic features of both childhood apraxia of speech and acquired apraxia of speech. However, little is known about how listeners perceive and identify inappropriate pauses between syllables ...

Data-driven Extraction of Intonation Contour Classes [PDF]
, 2007 In this paper we introduce the first steps towards a new datadriven method for extraction of intonation events that does not require any prerequisite prosodic labelling.

Acoustics of stress and weight in Central Alaskan Yup’ik
Laboratory Phonology, 2023 In Central Alaskan Yup’ik, syllables with long vowels are always stressed, light syllables alternate stress, but only certain closed syllables are stressed.

French Learners of L2 English: Intonation Boundaries and the Marking of Lexical Stress [PDF]
, 2013 To test my hypothesis, I collected passages of read speech by thirteen upper intermediate/advanced French learners of English along with the same passage read by ten native English speakers. Two trisyllabics carrying primary stress on the second syllable

Stop epenthesis at syllable boundaries
7th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 2002), 2002 This paper investigates the production and perception of epenthetic stops at syllable boundaries in Dutch and compares the experimental data with lexical statistics for Dutch and English. This extends past work on epenthesis in coda position [1]. The current work is particularly informative regarding the question of phonotactic constraints’ influence ...

Three Kinds of Rising-Falling Contours in German wh-Questions: Evidence From Form and Function
Frontiers in Communication, 2022 The intonational realization of utterances is generally characterized by regional as well as inter- and intra-speaker variability in f0. Category boundaries thus remain “fuzzy” and it is non-trivial how the (continuous) acoustic space maps onto (discrete)
