Pakistani schools in Sultanate of Oman use the whole word approach practices English language reading instructions and lack phonetics’ knowledge of. Regardless, whether is practical or not, teaching skills through these at an early age questionable. This paper will focus on observation evaluation as research tools, concentrate a phonetics phonological analysis first -grade learner case study. T...

In this part of our tutorial we will cover three areas. First we will position forensic speech science in its historical context. We will briefly describe the development from its modern beginnings with Voiceprints in the USA and Phonoscopy in Stalin's USSR to the present situation by giving you a glimpse of the advances as well as the controversies. Secondly we will present some fundamental is...

Although the role of working memory in sentence comprehension has received substantial attention, the nature of this relationship remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between general, nonverbal working memory (WM) and sentence parsing (SP) in normal English-speaking adults. Accuracy and reaction times were recorded for thirty-one young adults during three on...

This study examined how familiarity of word structures influenced articulatory control in children and adolescents during repetition of real words (RWs) and nonwords (NWs). A passive reflective marker system was used to track articulator movement. Measures of accuracy were obtained during repetition of RWs and NWs, and kinematic analysis of movement duration and variability was conducted. Parti...

Age-related increases of speaking rate are not fully understood, but have been attributed to gains in biologic factors and learned skills that support speech production. This study investigated developmental changes in speaking rate and articulatory kinematics of participants aged 4 (N = 7), 7 (N = 10), 10 (N = 9), 13 (N = 7), 16 (N = 9) years, and young adults (N = 11) in speaking tasks varyin...

Many problems in computer graphics concern the precise positioning of a human figure, and in particular, the positioning of the joints in the upper body as a virtual character performs some action. We explore a new technique for precisely positioning the joints in the arms of a human figure to achieve a desired posture. We focus on an analytic solution for the IK chains of the model's arms and ...

Intra-articulator anticipatory and carryover coarticulation were assessed in both temporal and spatial terms. Three subjects produced VCV sequences with velar stop consonants and back vowels. Pulsed ultrasound was used to examine the vertical displacement, duration, and maximum velocity of the tongue dorsum raising (VC transition) and lowering (CV transition) gestures. Anticipatory coarticulati...

OBJECTIVE the objective was to understand the experience of a group of family members of patients with colostomies, revealing their expectations regarding the intervention of health professionals. METHOD qualitative research, with the social phenomenological approach of Alfred Schütz, conducted in Montevideo in 2012; twelve family members of patients with colostomies participated, from an ost...

A long-standing forte of the Laboratory Phonology series has been work on phonetic implementation of phonological representations. Numerous studies in this series have elucidated the patterns of variation in the realization of phonological categories in different segmental and prosodic contexts, and such studies now provide one of the main lines of evidence about the cognitive representation of...
