The aim of this study was to longitudinally examine mean length utterance in words (MLU-w) and number different (NDW) their association children speaking Cypriot Greek (CG), a dialect for which such measures language development have not been adequately investigated. Language samples from 36 typically developing monolingual CG-speaking were collected at 4-month intervals the age 3;0 until 4;0 t...

This study aimed to evaluate the language skills of preschool children through narrative. The Turkish Test Early Language Development (TEDIL) was used receptive and expressive verbal children, samples were collected using Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI). Mean Length Utterance (MLU), Number Different Words (NDW), Total (TNW) examined in taken from narrative analysis. A total 100 50 ag...

The Lidcombe Program is an operant treatment for early stuttering. Outcomes indicate that the program is effective; however, the underlying mechanisms leading to a successful reduction of stuttering remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether fluency achieved with the Lidcombe Program was accompanied by concomitant reduction of utterance length and decreases in linguistic...

The goal of this paper is to focus on non-verbal speech information during meeting and see if this information contains cues enabling the discrimination of meeting phases—divergent and convergent phases using decision trees. Group task experiments were conducted using a modified 20Q. The recorded speech was analyzed to identify various utterance pattern features—utterance frequency, length of u...

A dedicated resource, consisting of annotated speech data, tools, and workflow design, was developed for the detailed investigation of discourse phenomena in Taiwan Mandarin. The discourse phenomena have functions which are associated with positions in utterances, and temporal properties, and include discourse markers (‘NAGE’, ’NA’, e.g. ‘hesitation’, ‘utterance initiation’), discourse particle...

It was recently argued that the geometric optics mean path length of rays inside a refractive object under Lambertian illumination is independent scattering strength medium [Savo et al., Science 358, 765 (2017)]. We here show it is, in fact, different case zero scattering. uncover and explain role trapped ray trajectories creating this unexpected discontinuity from to low This allows us derive ...
