this study focuses on one particular sound change common in conversational speech, in which coronal nasal consonants undergo place assimilation toward the following syllable- or word-initial labial consonants. f2 and f3 formant frequency measurements were taken from, and compared between words involving the sequences /vnb/ and /vmb/ across syllable boundary as well as word boundary in assimilat...

Background: Speech and language pathologists should include connected speech assessment as part of their evaluation for children with speech sound disorders. The purpose of the present study was to design and validate an instrument for assessment of articulation by story-retelling for Persian children.Methods: 261 typically developing children, aged 4-5 years old in Iran, Tehran, in 2016-2017, ...

UNLABELLED Several authors mentioned the occurrence of articulation problems in the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) population. However, few studies have undertaken a detailed analysis of the articulation skills of NF1 patients, especially in schoolchildren and adults. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine in depth the articulation skills of NF1 schoolchildren and adults, both p...

In this paper, we present a proposal for the articulation of collaborative activities based on communication and coordination representation models. Articulation is essential in any kind of collaboration and involves prearticulation of the tasks, their management, and post-articulation. For the representation of preand post-articulation phases, conversation clichés (communication) are used. For...

Local symmetry axis based schemes have been used for generic shape recognition as they lead to articulation insensitive representations. Despite their strengths, purely syntactic level of axial representations precludes the possibility of distinguishing a likely articulation from an unlikely one. In order to overcome this weakness, syntax should be combined with pragmatics and/or semantics. As ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was three kinds of stretching methods and measured the change in the thickness of the piriform muscle in real time using ultrasound images and compared the medial rotation angle of the coxal articulation. [Subjects and Methods] Fourty-five subjects who attend B University in Cheonan, divided into three groups. The subjects in these three groups then underwent...
