Pronoun Resolution in Skilled and Less-Skilled Comprehenders: Effects of Memory Load and Inferential Complexity
Language and Speech - Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 25-37 - 1986
Jane Oakhill, Nicola Yuill
This paper reports two experiments that investigate skilled and less-skilled compre-henders' ability to understand pronouns. In the first experiment, the less-skilled group made more errors in answering questions about pronoun antecedents than did the skilled group, even when there was a gender cue to the correct referent, and when the clause containing the referents was available for the...... hiện toàn bộ
Phonetic Diversity, Statistical Learning, and Acquisition of Phonology
Language and Speech - Tập 46 Số 2-3 - Trang 115-154 - 2003
Janet B. Pierrehumbert
In learning to perceive and produce speech, children master complex language-specific patterns. Daunting language-specific variation is found both in the segmental domain and in the domain of prosody and intonation. This article reviews the challenges posed by results in phonetic typology and sociolinguistics for the theory of language acquisition. It argues that categories are initiated ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Interplay Between Prosodic Structure and Coarticulation
Language and Speech - Tập 36 Số 2-3 - Trang 197-212 - 1993
Kenneth De Jong, Mary E. Beckman, Jan Edwards
In this paper we draw on a linguistic model of prosodic structure and a task-dynamic model of speech gestures to account for the interplay of coarticulation and stress in English. We reinterpret results from two experiments in which articulator movements were recorded for utterances varying in pitch accent placement. In the first experiment, jaw kinematics were studied in post-nuclear una...... hiện toàn bộ
Speech Repetition Abilities in Children Who Differ in Reading Skill
Language and Speech - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 109-122 - 1989
Susan Brady, Erika Poggie, Michele Merlo Rapala
A previous study (Brady, Shankweiler, and Mann, 1983) demonstrated inferior speech repetition abilities for poor readers with degraded stimuli. The present study, in contrast, used clear listening conditions. Third-grade average and below-average readers were tested on a word repetition task with monosyllabic, multisyllabic, and pseudoword stimuli. No group differences were obtained on sp...... hiện toàn bộ
Experiments in the Perception of Stress

Processing Time, Accent, and Comprehensibility in the Perception of Native and Foreign-Accented Speech
Language and Speech - Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 289-306 - 1995
Murray J. Munro, Tracey M. Derwing
In this study, a sentence verification task was used to determine the effect of a foreign accent on sentence processing time. Twenty native English listeners heard a set of English true/false statements uttered by ten native speakers of English and ten native speakers of Mandarin. The listeners assessed the truth value of the statements, and assigned accent and comprehensibility ratings. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Reactions Toward Varying Degrees of Accentedness in the Speech of Spanish-English Bilinguals
Language and Speech - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 267-273 - 1977
Ellen Bouchard Ryan, Miguel A. Carranza, Robert W. Moffie
Approximately 100 college students were asked to evaluate Spanish-English bilingual speakers on the basis of taped readings of an English text. The speakers were chosen to represent a wide range of accentedness. The relationship between the amount of accentedness heard and the attributed characteristics of the speaker was investigated. The results show that the students made rather fine d...... hiện toàn bộ
The Analysis of Low Accentuation in Estonian
Language and Speech - Tập 50 Số 4 - Trang 567-588 - 2007
Eva Liina Asu, Francis Nolan
In Estonian, as in a number of other languages, the nuclear pitch accent is often low and level. This paper presents two studies of this phenomenon. The first, a phonetic analysis of carefully structured read sentences shows that low accentuation can also spread to the prenuclear accents in an intonational phrase. The resulting sentence contours are used as evidence to evaluate alternative...... hiện toàn bộ
Phonetic Detail in the Developing Lexicon
Language and Speech - Tập 46 Số 2-3 - Trang 265-294 - 2003
Daniel Swingley
Although infants show remarkable sensitivity to linguistically relevant phonetic variation in speech, young children sometimes appear not to make use of this sensitivity. Here, children's knowledge of the soundforms of familiar words was assessed using a visual fixation task. Dutch 19-month-olds were shown pairs of pictures and heard correct pronunciations and mispronunciations of familia...... hiện toàn bộ
Functional Lateralization of Linguistic Tones: Acoustic Evidence from Norwegian
Language and Speech - Tập 29 Số 4 - Trang 389-398 - 1986
John Ryalls, Ivar Reinvang
A group of five male right-hemisphere-damaged and five male left-hemisphere-damaged aphasics were recorded repeating a set of three phonemic tone-contrasted minimal pairs in Norwegian. A narrow-band spectrographic analysis revealed more impaired tone production (less phono-acoustic differentiation between phonemic pairs, and longer maximal productions) on the part of the left-hemisphere g...... hiện toàn bộ
