  • Adverse Childhood Experiences and Hope as Risk and Protective Factors for Mental Health in the Context of Covid-19 Stress

  • Relations between prosodic variables and communicative functions

    Open AccessJudy Flax, Judy F Flax et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1991

    Three children were observed interacting with their mothers at three different times: before the onset of single words, when vocabulary consisted of 10 words, and when vocabulary consisted of 50 words. Relations between communicative functions and acoustic analyses of prosodie variables (i.e. rise vs. nonrise of terminal contours) were studied. Considerable variability was found among the children in the number of rises produced overall and those…

  • Vowel Duration Change and Its Underlying Physiological Mechanisms

    Open AccessKatherine S HarrisARTICLELanguage and Speech1978Cited by: 6References: 10

    Two explanations have been proposed for the relationship between vowel-target formant frequency and articulatory stress. The first, the “extra energy” hypothesis, suggests that stressing is accompanied by larger signals to the articulators, so that stressed syllables are longer and have more extreme formant values. The second, the “undershoot” hypothesis, suggests that the signals sent to the articulators are of constant magnitude, but that chang…

  • The Articulatory Implementation of the Breath-Group and Prominence

    Philip Lieberman, Masayuki Sawashima et al.ARTICLELanguage1970

    A theory has been proposed (Lieberman 1967) that accounts for some aspects of intonation in terms of two phonologic features, the breath-group and prominence. Acoustic and physiologic correlates of these features were derived by experimental procedures that made use of subglottal air pressure and flow measurements as well as acoustic analysis. Perceptual data indicated that listeners ‘decoded’ certain intonational signals by means of ‘motor theor…

  • Some Aspects of the Production of Oral and Nasal Labial Stops

    Open AccessKatherine S Harris, Gloria F Lysaught et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech1965Cited by: 8References: 5

    Various measures were made of the electromyographic output of the muscles of the lips during the production of /p/, /b/, /m/, /mp/ and /mb/, to see if there was a difference in the amount or patterning of activity between sounds usually described as “tense” and “lax”. Overall, there is some slight average tendency for “tense” sounds to be produced more forcefully than “lax”, but this tendency is present only for some subjects and when large numbe…

  • An Effect of Learning on Speech Perception

    Open AccessAlvin M Liberman, Alvin Liberman et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech1961Cited by: 8References: 20

    Discrimination of an acoustic variable (various durations of silence) was measured when, as part of a synthetic speech pattern, that variable cued a phonemic distinction and when the same variable appeared in a non-speech context. in the speech case the durations of silence separated the two syllables of a synthesized word, causing it to be heard as rabid when the intersyllabic silence was of short duration and as rapid when it was long. with aco…

  • Cues for the Discrimination of American English Fricatives in Spoken Syllables

    Open AccessKatherine S HarrisARTICLELanguage and Speech1958Cited by: 23References: 5

    It has sometimes been assumed that the identification of the fricatives of American English in CV syllables depends primarily on the characteristics of the noise (i.e., nonvocalic) portion of the speech sound. A second possibility is that characteristics of the vocalic portion—previously shown to be cues for the perception of other consonants—are important for the fricatives. These alternatives were tested by combining the noise from one spoken f…

  • The discrimination of speech sounds within and across phoneme boundaries.

    Alvin M Liberman, Katherine S Harris et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental…1957

    In listening to speech, one typically reduces the number and variety of the many sounds with which he is bombarded by casting them into one or another of the phoneme categories that his language allows. Thus, a listener will identify as b, for example, quite a large number of acoustically different sounds. Although these differences are likely to be many and various, some of them will occur along an acoustic continuum that contains cues for a dif…
