Phylogenetic signal in the vocalizations of vocal learning and vocal non-learning birds [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2021 Abstract Some animal vocalizations develop reliably in the absence of relevant experience, but an intriguing subset of animal vocalizations is learned: they require acoustic models during ontogeny in order to develop, and the learner's vocal output reflects those models.

Toward a Consensus Description of Vocal Effort, Vocal Load, Vocal Loading, and Vocal Fatigue
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020 PurposeThe purpose of this document is threefold: (a) review the uses of the terms “vocal fatigue,” “vocal effort,” “vocal load,” and “vocal loading” (as found in the literature) in order to track the occurrence and the related evolution of research; (b) present a “linguistically modeled” definition of the same from the review of literature on the ...

Vocal Imitations of Non-Vocal Sounds
PLOS ONE, 2016 Imitative behaviors are widespread in humans, in particular whenever two persons communicate and interact. Several tokens of spoken languages (onomatopoeias, ideophones, and phonesthemes) also display different degrees of iconicity between the sound of a word and what it refers to. Thus, it probably comes at no surprise that human speakers use a lot of

Audiology Research, 2019 Despite their potential significance for later linguistic outcomes, early aspects of vocalization had been seriously undervalued in the past, and thus, minimally investigated until relatively recently.

Human subthalamic nucleus neurons differentially encode speech and limb movement
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), which consistently improves limb motor functions, shows mixed effects on speech functions in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

The Role of Auditory Feedback at Vocalization Onset and Mid-Utterance
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Auditory feedback plays an important role in monitoring and correcting for errors during speech production. Previous research suggests that at vocalization onset, auditory feedback is compared to a sensory prediction generated by the motor system to ...

Language Origins Viewed in Spontaneous and Interactive Vocal Rates of Human and Bonobo Infants
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 From the first months of life, human infants produce “protophones,” speech-like, non-cry sounds, presumed absent, or only minimally present in other apes. But there have been no direct quantitative comparisons to support this presumption. In addition, by

Underwater vocalizations of Trachemys scripta elegans and their differences among sex–age groups
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The aim of this study was to identify underwater vocalizations in red-eared turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) and assess differences between sexes and ages.

Analysis of ultrasonic vocalizations from mice using computer vision and machine learning
eLife, 2021 Mice emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) that communicate socially relevant information. To detect and classify these USVs, here we describe VocalMat. VocalMat is a software that uses image-processing and differential geometry approaches to detect USVs ...

Vocal tract allometry in a mammalian vocal learner [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 Abstract Acoustic allometry occurs when features of animal vocalisations can be predicted from body size measurements. Despite this being considered the norm, allometry sometimes breaks, resulting in species sounding smaller or larger than expected for their size.
