Teaching Japanese bi-mora and quadric-mora timing rhythms to Vietnamese learners

Speech rhythm in Japanese is based around a unit of timing known as the mora. In this study, the Haiku, a Japanese poetic form, is used to help Vietnamese learners of Japanese improve their speech rhythm or, more specifically, their mora-timing, by using bior quadric-mora-timing as a pedagogic strategy. Following instruction, participants in the study showed improvement in the uniformity of the...

Protein expression monitoring can be a good tool to determine disease onset and progression, and is also used in drug discovery and investigational science (1–4). However, commonly used assays lack the sensitivity and specificity required for the detection of low-abundance proteins (5,6). Several signal amplification technologies have been designed and applied to protein detection assays, inclu...

A CALL system using speech recognition to train the pronunciation of Japanese long vowels, the mora nasal and mora obstruents

We developed a CALL (computer-aided language learning) system for teaching the pronunciation of Japanese long vowels, the mora nasal and mora obstruents to nonnative speakers of Japanese. Long vowels and short vowels are spectrally almost identical but their phone durations differ significantly. Similar conditions exist between mora nasals and non-mora nasals, and between mora and non-mora obst...
