Practice beats age: co-activation shapes heritage speakers’ lexical access more than age of onset

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
Probabilistic associations make language processing efficient and are honed through experience. However, it is unclear what language experience factors explain the non-monolingual processing behaviors typical of L2 learners and heritage speakers (HSs ...

Urban Noise Restricts Song Frequency Bandwidth and Syllable Diversity in Bananaquits: Increasing Audibility at the Expense of Signal Quality

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Anthropogenic noise can interfere with animal behavior through masking of acoustic communication. In response to masking, animals may change their acoustic signals as an apparent adjustment strategy, but this may have a drawback on signal quality.

A Framework for Bioacoustic Vocalization Analysis Using Hidden Markov Models [PDF]

, 2009
Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as a recognition framework for automatic classification of animal vocalizations has a number of benefits, including the ability to handle duration variability through nonlinear time alignment, the ability to incorporate ...

Automated classification of mouse pup isolation syllables: from cluster analysis to an Excel based ‘mouse pup syllable classification calculator’

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
Mouse pups vocalize at high rates when they are cold or isolated from the nest. The proportions of each syllable type produced carry information about disease state and are being used as behavioral markers for the internal state of animals.

Background noise but not urbanization level impacted song frequencies in an urban songbird in the Pearl River Delta, Southern China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Rapid urbanization has profoundly transformed habitats and increased noise pollution in urban environments. Elevated noise levels may mask acoustic signals of urban-dwelling organisms such as birds.

Lexicality and frequency in specific language impairment: accuracy and error data from two nonword repetition tests [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose: Deficits in phonological working memory and deficits in phonological processing have both been considered potential explanatory factors in Specific Language Impairment (SLI).

Segment and syllable frequency. [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992
The frequency of individual segments and of each particular syllable has been counted in lists of about 2000 to 5000 lexical entries in a sample of languages drawn from the major areal/genetic groupings. An analysis of a subset of these languages with small segment inventories and simple phonotactics (Maddieson and Precoda, 1992) has shown that the ...

Syllable congruency and word frequency effects on brain activation [PDF]

Human Brain Mapping, 2009
AbstractThis article investigates the neural representation of the processes involved in recognizing multisyllabic words in Spanish asking whether lexical and sublexical processes are reflected in a different neuronal activation pattern. High and low frequency words were presented for lexical decision in two different colors. In the congruent condition

Information theoretic syllable structure and its relation to the c-center effect [PDF]

, 2013
Established phonological theories postulate uniform syllable constituent structures. From a traditional hierarchical point of view, syllables are right branching implying a close connection between the nucleus and the coda.
