Functional MRI of Native and Non-native Speech Sound Production in Sequential German-English Bilinguals

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Bilingualism and multilingualism are highly prevalent. Non-invasive brain imaging has been used to study the neural correlates of native and non-native speech and language production, mainly on the lexical and syntactic level.

Word Categorization of Vowel Durational Changes in Speech-Modulated Bone-Conducted Ultrasound

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2021
Ultrasound can deliver speech information when it is amplitude-modulated with speech and presented via bone conduction. This speech-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (SM-BCU) can also transmit prosodic information.

Australian English listeners' perception of Japanese vowel length reveals underlying phonological knowledge

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Speech perception patterns are strongly influenced by one's native phonology. It is generally accepted that native English listeners rely primarily on spectral cues when perceiving vowels, making limited use of duration cues because English lacks ...

Duration as a Phonetic Cue in Native and Non‑Native American English

open access: yesELOPE, 2019
This vowel study looks at the intricate relationship between spectral  characteristics and vowel duration in the context of American English vowels, both from a native speaker (NS) and non-native speaker (NNS) perspective.

Asymmetric Influence of Vocalic Context on Mandarin Sibilants: Evidence From ERP Studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
In the present study, we examine the interactive effect of vowels on Mandarin fricative sibilants using a passive oddball paradigm to determine whether the HEIGHT features of vowels can spread on the surface and influence preceding consonants with ...

Acoustic features of voice in adults suffering from depression [PDF]

open access: yesPsihološka Istraživanja, 2022
In order to examine the differences in people suffering from depression (EG, N=18) compared to the healthy controls (CG1, N=24) and people with the diagnosed psychogenic voice disorder (CG2, N=9), nine acoustic features of voice were assessed among the ...

Relative Weights of Temporal Envelope Cues in Different Frequency Regions for Mandarin Vowel, Consonant, and Lexical Tone Recognition

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Objectives: Mandarin-speaking users of cochlear implants (CI) perform poorer than their English counterpart. This may be because present CI speech coding schemes are largely based on English.

Reverberation impairs brainstem temporal representations of voiced vowel sounds: challenging periodicity-tagged segregation of competing speech in rooms

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
The auditory system typically processes information from concurrently active sound sources (e.g., two voices speaking at once), in the presence of multiple delayed, attenuated and distorted sound-wave reflections (reverberation).

Vowel Vibrations and Vowel Production [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1938
PROF. E. W. SCRIPTURE, in a letter published in NATURE of October 1, suggests that the profiles of the various vowel sounds—of which he gives examples—indicate that these sounds “cannot have been produced by resonance”.

Auditory preattentive processing of Thai vowel change perception in consonant-vowel (CV) syllables [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2004
Event-related potential (ERP) responses to infrequently presented spoken deviant syllables /pi/ among repetitive standard /pc/ syllables were recorded in Thai subjects who ignored these stimuli while reading books of their choices.
