Intrinsic vowel pitch: a gradient feature of vowel systems
, 2011 This paper investigates the average fundamental frequency of eight peripheral vowels in Belgian Standard Dutch in order to examine whether a vowel gradient exists with respect to Intrinsic Vowel Pitch (IF0). The results show that IF0 exists in Belgian Standard Dutch and amounts to 3.26 semi-tones. It is found that the assumed gradience in the degree of

The Self-Organization of Speech Sounds [PDF]
, 2005 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

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...
