Collecting connoisseurs and building to house a collection
The essay will explore how sculptor Dora Gordine (1895-1991) proved not only skilled in persuading collectors to buy her work, but also in befriending many of the leading European collectors and connoisseurs of her oeuvre. Such friendships conferred upon her a much-needed respectability, for many who knew her well remained unsure as to the exact details of her origins and past life in Eastern Europe. Marriage to the Hon. Richard Hare, allowed Gor…

The Teaching of Constructed Responses in Language Therapy
Equal numbers of aphasic adults, deaf children, ages 9-10, and deaf adolescents, ages 13-17, were required to complete stems of sentences. The incomplete sentences were typed automatically in the presence of the individual subject who constructed the final word of each sentence, monitored and corrected letter by letter. The responses were 55 words, 11 of which were predicted on each of five test days. The responses were repeated four times daily …

A Study of Pauses in Oral Reading of One's Native Language and English
Seventy-two students, representing equally Hindi, Spamsh, and Japanese speakers, served as experimental subjects. Each group was equally subdivided between students who were more and ones who were less proficient in aural comprehension of English. All participants recorded a philosophical essay in both their native language and in English. The statistical treatment was based upon the median duration of each speaker's distribution of pauses in rea…
A Study of Nonsense Syllables Spoken by Two Language Groups in Varying Conditions of Sidetone and Reading Rate
Twenty-eight experimental subjects, 14 English-speaking and 14 Hindi-speaking, were assigned to record an equal number of paired nonsense syllables under two conditions of three variables: (1) delayed and normal sidetone, (2) noisy and quiet conditions of listening, and (3) fast and normal rates of speaking. The results show that the two language groups did not differ statistically significantly in the mean duration of the syllables nor in mean s…

Relationships among Fundamental Frequency, Vocal Sound Pressure, and Rate of Speaking
Twenty males who could control their vocal effort to reach specified soft and loud vocal levels, spanning 30 db., practised and recorded three vowels and three phrases at four levels, ranging from soft to loud. Increments in vocal effort were accompanied by increase in fundamental frequency, the latter shifting upward increasingly with successive steps in sound pressure. The vocal changes that occurred from one level of speaking to another were s…

The Reading of Messages of Different Types and Numbers of Syllables Under Conditions of Delayed Side-Tone
Eight sets of phrases were constructed for oral reading. Two sets were comprised of five syllables, in one instance consonant-vowel syllables and in the other, vowel-consonant. Three sets were made to include only syllables of two, three, or four sounds and a total of either 15 or 16 sounds. Three additional sets were the same as the preceding ones except that the total number of sounds was either 20 or 21. Each group of twenty-four young male ad…
