Through this paper we theorize on the nature and effects of articulation work relative to the takeup and uses of information and communications technologies (ICT). Articulation work is “work that enables other work:” that which links people, processes and technologies within organizations. Articulation work in organizations is both common and too-often invisible from a managerial or budgetary p...

Abstract The significance of the phonological neighborhood on lexical processing has been documented by decades studies in field, and it become clear that connectivity mental lexicon is a crucial facilitator for word learning both production perception domains. What remained underrepresented literature to date question how or phonetic changes are accommodated neighborhoods, put differently, wha...

Objective: The article aims to reveal the features of correction sound culture preschool-age children's speech, effectiveness which has been tested experimentally. Background: speech is a multicomponent formation, covers phonetic correctness speech; general language skills and orthoepic speech. Pedagogical focused on correct errors caused by violation articulation, pronunciation, norms voice st...

The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into how speech is processed by the auditory system, by quantifying the nature of nonsense speech sound confusions. (1) The Miller and Nicely [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 27(2), 338-352 (1955)] confusion matrix (CM) data are analyzed by plotting the CM elements Si,j(SNR) as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This allows for the robust clusteri...

Hypoglossia-hypodactylia syndrome is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by a hypoplastic mandible, absence of the lower incisors, hypoglossia, and variable degree digits limbs, with risk dysarthria dysphagia. We report articulation function swallowing patient hypoglossia-hypodactylia who was followed up to eight years old. Our did not have feeding disturbances. She articulatory ...

Purpose Item response theory (IRT) is a psychometric approach to measurement that uses latent trait abilities (e.g., speech sound production skills) to model performance on individual items that vary by difficulty and discrimination. An IRT analysis was applied to preschoolers' productions of the words on the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation-Second Edition (GFTA-2) to identify candidates fo...

PURPOSE Several empirical studies suggest that children who stutter, when compared to typically fluent peers, demonstrate relatively subtle, yet robust differences in phonological encoding. Phonological encoding can be measured through the use of tasks that reflect the underlying mechanisms of phonological processing, such as phonological awareness. This study investigated the phonological enco...

As high-quality signal processors become more sophisticated and programmable, composers are increasingly interested in using them to transform the sounds of acoustic instruments during a live performance. This paper describes a real-time interactive program, created with MAX, that allows a performer to generate and control sound from a MIDI-controllable signal processor according to musical cue...

Recent studies have shown correlations between perceived colors and aspects of a musical piece such as tonality, tempo and musical articulation. Other studies have demonstrated that major and minor tonalities of music trigger people to perceived a different hue of colors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between musical aspects and the attribution of colors and emotio...

Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) was used to examine mechanisms of sound production by an American male beatbox artist. rtMRI was found to be a useful modality with which to study this form of sound production, providing a global dynamic view of the midsagittal vocal tract at frame rates sufficient to observe the movement and coordination of critical articulators. The subject's repe...
