Temporal entrainment in overlapped speech: Cross-linguistic study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a previous paper we investigated how onsets of overlapped speech in English are timed with respect to syllable boundaries of the current speaker [1]. Overlap initiations were found to be more frequent around syllable boundaries than at other locations within the syllable. In this paper we extend the previous analysis by reporting on results from two other corpora in two different languages (French and German). We found similar trends in all three datasets with an increased likelihood of an overlap initiation shortly before vowel onsets in the interlocutor’s speech.

Syllable boundary effect: temporal entrainment in overlapped speech
In this paper we investigate one aspect of temporal entrainment in dialogue, namely how onsets of overlapped speech are timed with respect to syllable boundaries of the current speaker. Overlap initiation were found to be more frequent around syllable boundaries than at other locations within the syllable. Some evidence that the turn onset timing is also influenced by the regularity of the prec...

متن کاملAtypical right hemisphere response to slow temporal modulations in children with developmental dyslexia
Phase entrainment of neuronal oscillations is thought to play a central role in encoding speech. Children with developmental dyslexia show impaired phonological processing of speech, proposed theoretically to be related to atypical phase entrainment to slower temporal modulations in speech (<10Hz). While studies of children with dyslexia have found atypical phase entrainment in the delta band (...
متن کاملTitle: Suppression of Competing Speech through Entrainment of Cortical Oscillations
18 People are highly skilled at attending to one speaker in the presence of competitors, but the 19 neural mechanisms supporting this remain unclear. Recent studies have argued that the auditory 20 system enhances the gain of a speech stream relative to competitors by entraining (or “phase-locking”) 21 to the rhythmic structure in its acoustic envelope, thus ensuring that syllables arrive durin...
متن کاملProsodic Entrainment in Mandarin and English: A Cross-Linguistic Comparison
Entrainment is the propensity of speakers to begin behaving like one another in conversation. We identify evidence of entrainment in a number of acoustic and prosodic dimensions in conversational speech of Standard American English speakers and Mandarin Chinese speakers. We compare entrainment in the Columbia Games Corpus and the Tongji Games Corpus and find similar patterns of global and local...
