Toward a Consensus Description of Vocal Effort, Vocal Load, Vocal Loading, and Vocal Fatigue
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 ...

Language Origins Viewed in Spontaneous and Interactive Vocal Rates of Human and Bonobo Infants
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

Vocal coselection in rat pup ultrasonic vocalizations [PDF]
AbstractSelective breeding and natural selection that select for one trait often bring along other correlated traits via coselection. Selective breeding for an infantile trait, high or low call rates of isolation‐induced ultrasonic vocalization of rat pups, also alters functions of some brain systems and emotional behaviors throughout life. We examined

Analysis of ultrasonic vocalizations from mice using computer vision and machine learning
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 ...

The Self-Organization of Speech Sounds [PDF]
The speech code is a vehicle of language: it defines a set of forms used by a community to carry information. Such a code is necessary to support the linguistic interactions that allow humans to communicate. How then may a speech code be formed prior to

The Interaction of Yer Deletion and Nasal Assimilation in Optimality Theory1 [PDF]
The problem of opacity presents a challenge for generative phonology. This paper examines the process of Nasal Assimilation in Polish rendered opaque by the process of Vowel Deletion in Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky, 1993), which currently is a ...

REINFORCEMENT OF VOCALIZATIONS THROUGH CONTINGENT VOCAL IMITATION [PDF]
Maternal vocal imitation of infant vocalizations is highly prevalent during face‐to‐face interactions of infants and their caregivers. Although maternal vocal imitation has been associated with later verbal development, its potentially reinforcing effect on infant vocalizations has not been explored experimentally.

Control of echolocation pulses by neurons of the nucleus ambiguus in the rufous horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus rouxi [PDF]
1. Horseradish peroxidase was applied by iontophoretic injections to physiologically identified regions of the laryngeal motor nucleus, the nucleus ambiguus in the CF/FM batRhinolophus rouxi. 2.
