Sensitivity of the inferior frontal gyrus to morphological processing through the detection of category violation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) plays a pivotal role in processing morphologically complex words. This study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying morpheme detection during lexical access, utilizing Korean Eojeols—morphologically agglutinated ...

Combining Nonword and Sentence Repetition to Identify Developmental Language Disorder. [PDF]
Int J Lang Commun DisordABSTRACT Background Nonword repetition and sentence repetition have been useful in identification of developmental language disorder (DLD). Each task has demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity, though their diagnostic accuracy has varied across children's ages, specific measures, and languages.

Assessment and Diagnostic Standards of Childhood Apraxia of Speech in Turkish-Speaking Children: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Int J Lang Commun DisordABSTRACT Background Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder for which assessment and diagnostic standards have been largely informed by studies of English‐speaking populations. Evidence related to CAS in Turkish‐speaking children remains sparse, is published across both Turkish‐ and English‐language sources, and variable in ...

Dispelling Myths and Misunderstandings About Defining and Remediating Dyslexia. [PDF]
DyslexiaABSTRACT Despite a strong base of scientifically supported research on dyslexia, pervasive misunderstandings continue, particularly in the United States, where state legislation, instructional practices and parent advocacy intersect in ways that influence how dyslexia is identified and treated.

Stress placement and word segmentation by Spanish speakers [PDF]
, 2013 Several studies have shown that the stress pattern of one's native language is applied to new linguistic stimuli. Regarding the segmentation of artificial synthesized speech, this idea has been supported by experiments with languages where the stress ...

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 ...

Syllabe Contraction in Spanish dialects and B2 level Hungarian leaners of Spanish
Phonica, 2022 In this study, we analyze the so-called “syllable contraction”, that is, the reduction of a sequence of two identical vowels to the duration of a single sound, across word boundaries.

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.

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 ...

Representational Bias in Unsupervised Learning of Syllable Structure [PDF]
, 2005 Unsupervised learning algorithms based on Expectation Maximization (EM) are often straightforward to implement and provably converge on a local likelihood maximum. However, these algorithms often do not perform well in practice.
