"look at the Shark": Evaluation of Student Produced Standardized Sentences of Infant- and Foreigner-directed Speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
We evaluated two speech research paradigms by comparing standardized sentences to ‘free speech’ (both produced by students without interaction partner). Samples of infant(IDS), foreigner(FDS) and adult-directed speech (ADS) were acoustically analyzed for F0 and hyperarticulation. No difference for hyperarticulation was found between IDS, FDS and ADS, which is in contrast to natural speech and imaginary ‘free speech’. Differences in mean F0 approximated natural speech (IDS significantly higher than ADS and FDS), and represented an improvement compared to imaginary ‘free speech’. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of experimental speech research.

This study evaluated the use of imagined interactions in speech research, by comparing speech addressed to imaginary speech partners with natural speech addressed to genuine interaction partners. Samples of speech directed to an imaginary infant (IDS), foreigner (FDS) and adult (ADS) produced by ten female students were acoustically analysed and also rated on positive vocal affect.

متن کاملInteraction of Intrinsic Vowel and Consonant Durational Correlates with Foreigner Directed Speech
Foreigner-directed and Lombard speech are two examples of speech modes that have increased intelligibility compared to normal speech. Investigating the interactions between altered speech modes and phonological contrasts may throw light on the question of which details are vital in intelligibility enhancement. The present study compares the production of vowel shortening in English, a duration-...
متن کاملNasalance Scores of Sentences in Children with Hearing Loss
Background and purpose: Proper resonance is a major factor for the comprehension of speech in individuals with hearing loss. These people have low speech intelligibility caused by inappropriate resonance. Therefore, nasalance measurement is a principal aspect of the assessment of people with hearing loss. This study aimed at determining nasalance in children with hearing loss. Materials and me...
