This study examines the relationship between speech perception and speech production in children with speech delay (SD). Sixtythree children who participated in the Nemours Genetics of Speech Delay Project were categorized as either typically developing (TD) or SD. The children with SD were subgrouped by their articulation errors on the /s/ and // sounds tested in a perception experiment. An i...

Noises made before the acoustic onset of speech are typically ignored, yet may reveal aspects of speech production planning and be relevant to discourse turn-taking. We quantify the nature and timing of such noises, using an experimental method designed to elicit naturalistic yet controlled speech initiation data. Speakers listened to speech input, then spoke when prompt material became visible...

Interactions between phonology and syntax are inspected in continuous speech samples from 30 speech-delayed children. Two types of interactions are examined: The co-occurrence of speech and language delay and the effects of phonological reduction on the realization of phonetically complex morphophonemes. Four possible patterns of association between the phonological and syntactic systems are ou...

There is a scarcity of research into the relationship between speech perception and production from multilingual perspective. The present exploratory study investigates longitudinally acquisition rhotic sounds in 24 adolescent learners who have same language repertoires (English, German, Polish), with English being their L2, German Polish L1 or L3. design involved forced-choice goodness task (f...

one of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. each approach has its varied challenges. unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...

BACKGROUND Even today the reliable diagnosis of the prodromal stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a great challenge. Our research focuses on the earliest detectable indicators of cognitive decline in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Since the presence of language impairment has been reported even in the mild stage of AD, the aim of this study is to develop a sensitive neuropsychological ...
