The Parallel Architecture in Language and Elsewhere
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The Parallel Architecture is a conception of the organization of the mental representations involved in language and of the role of language in the mind as a whole. Its basic premise is that linguistic representations draw on three independent generative systems—phonological, syntactic, and semantic structures—plus a system of interface links ...

Towards a dynamical model of English vowels. Evidence from diphthongisation [PDF]
Journal of Phonetics 107, 101349 (2024)Diphthong vowels exhibit a degree of inherent dynamic change, the extent of which can vary synchronically and diachronically, such that diphthong vowels can become monophthongs and vice versa. Modelling this type of change requires defining diphthongs in opposition to monophthongs.

The Effects of COVID‐19 on Voice
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic had profound effects on vocal health, impacting both infected individuals, professional voice users and essential workers. The objective of this paper was to explore the multifaceted nature of dysphonia associated with COVID‐19, arising from both direct and indirect consequences of the pandemic.

Speech Recognition Oriented Vowel Classification Using Temporal Radial Basis Functions [PDF]
Journal of Computing, Volume 1, Issue 1, pp 162-167, December 2009, 2009 The recent resurgence of interest in spatio-temporal neural network as speech recognition tool motivates the present investigation. In this paper an approach was developed based on temporal radial basis function "TRBF" looking to many advantages: few parameters, speed convergence and time invariance.

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...

A Deep Generative Model of Vowel Formant Typology [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 What makes some types of languages more probable than others? For instance, we know that almost all spoken languages contain the vowel phoneme /i/; why should that be? The field of linguistic typology seeks to answer these questions and, thereby, divine the mechanisms that underlie human language.

A comparison of vowel normalization procedures for language variation research.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004 An evaluation of vowel normalization procedures for the purpose of studying language variation is presented. The procedures were compared on how effectively they (a) preserve phonemic information, (b) preserve information about the talker's regional ...
