Variance and invariance in speech rate as a reflection of conceptual planning
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigates the variance and invariance in speech rate as a reflection of conceptual planning and cognitive rhythm. A four-frame comic strip was used to elicit speech and low-pass smoothing was done afterwards to filter out high frequency noise. Results showed that subjects invariably planned narration in terms of story plots. Variance lies in the way subjects synchronize planning and execution stages. Some tended to start the execution stage before the planning stage ends while others were inclined to speak only after macroplanning was done. Lexical retrieval failure is one of the main causes for disruptive story-plot-based temporal cycle.

Mental Timeline in Persian Speakers’ Co-speech Gestures based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory
One of the introduced conceptual metaphors is the metaphor of "time as space". Time as an abstract concept is conceptualized by a concrete concept like space. This conceptualization of time is also reflected in co-speech gestures. In this research, we try to find out what dimension and direction the mental timeline has in co-speech gestures and under the influence of which one of the metaphoric...
متن کاملThe Effect of Training and Task-Planning on the Complexity of Iranian Learners’ Oral Speech
The shift of emphasis away from written to oral skills has stimulated an incipient concern in second language research to investigate ways of helping second and foreign language learners achieve higher degrees of oral proficiency. Priority solely taken over accuracy, complexity, or fluency of speech might be justifiable with regard to the context in which learning takes place. Accuracy and com...
متن کاملA Novel Frequency Domain Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance Filter for Speech Enhancement
A reliable speech enhancement method is important for speech applications as a pre-processing step to improve their overall performance. In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain method for single channel speech enhancement. Conventional frequency domain methods usually neglect the correlation between neighboring time-frequency components of the signals. In the proposed method, we take...
