1Modelling the architecture of phonetic plans: Evidence from apraxia of speech 1 Citation Abstract In theories of spoken language production, the gestural code prescribing the movements of the speech organs is usually viewed as a linear string of holistic, encapsulated, hard-wired, phonetic plans, e.g., of the size of phonemes or syllables. Interactions between phonetic units on the surface of overt speech are commonly attributed to either the phonological encoding stage or the peripheral mechanisms of the speech apparatus. Apraxia of speech is a neurogenic disorder which is conside, technorati.com

1 Citation In Experiment 1 we used a same?different task with isolated words to evaluate whether phoneme perception is intact in HD. In Experiment 2 a word detection task in phrasal contexts allowed for assessing both phoneme perception and perceptual compensation for the French regressive assimilation rule. Results showed that HD patients have normal performance with both phoneme perception in isolated words and regressive assimilation rules. However, in phrasal contexts they display reduced abilities of, technorati.com

Analyzing Phonological Skills in Bilinguals: It?s a Buffet, Not a 7-Course Meal 1 Citation I?ve often maintained that eliciting speech samples for phonological analysis (whether single or word or connected speech) does not take that much longer for bilinguals than it does for monolinguals (it is somewhat longer, for sure). What does take longer, however, are the analyses of those samples. Given that there are almost no standardized assessments for phonological skills of bilinguals, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) must complete a set of broad and deep analyses. These analyses co, technorati.com

Rhymes with "black" and sounds like "Alabama" 1 Citation You'd think it was the end of the world. Apparently, the Nuance Communications-powered text-to-speech system on the new Amazon Kindle mispronounces Barack Obama's name, saying something like "buh-RACK oh-BAM-uh" instead of "buh-ROCK oh-BAH-muh". Why is this little tidbit worth a piece in the business/media section of The New York Times ? The answer is, it's not. It could have been an OK lead-in to a technology piece about how text-to-speech systems work, and how they can fail ? often spectacu, technorati.com

More Language Notes (VN Diary No. 16) 1 Citation I learned something important about Vietnamese phonology yesterday. A couple of things, actually. First, each Vietnamese syllable can be analyzed into five parts: tone, initial consonant, semivowel, dipthong, and terminal consonant. Not every syllable has all the elements, but understnadin this can help understand pronunciation by a careful ?sound out? practice and this is particularly important because Vietnamese, for me, is difficult to produce; that is, my mouth has not been trained to make t, technorati.com

1 Citation A couple of years ago, I wrote about the off-beat placement of song syllables (and other other notes) in popular music of the past century. This can be seen as the displacement of events from an underlyingly regular meter, but often it can also be seen as a basic metrical pattern in which events don't fall at evenly-spaced time intervals (" Rock syncopation: stress shifts or polyrhythms? ", 11/26/2007). The example that I looked at was a maximally simple one ? the 3+3+2=4+4 "habanera" rhythm t, technorati.com
