Hosseinabad, Hedieh Hashemi; Bai, Xiuqin – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Intelligibility measurement is influenced by the characteristics of a speaker, listener and contextual factors. This study addresses the clinical problem of measuring speech intelligibility in children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in real-world conditions. Aims: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of…

Ellis, Gregory M.; Souza, Pamela – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
The original Spectral Correlation Index (SCI[underscore o]) is a measure of amplitude envelope distortion that has been used in several studies to predict behavioral results. Because the original SCI[underscore o] did not account for the differential contribution of particular frequency bands to speech intelligibility (i.e., band importance) or…

Saito, Kazuya; Macmillan, Konstantinos; Kachlicka, Magdalena; Kunihara, Takuya; Minematsu, Nobuaki – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Whereas many scholars have emphasized the relative importance of "comprehensibility" as an ecologically valid goal for L2 speech training, testing, and development, eliciting listeners' judgments is time-consuming. Following calls for research on more efficient L2 speech rating methods in applied linguistics, and growing attention toward…

Lee, Bradford J.; Bailey, Justin L. – Language Awareness, 2023
While listeners tend to downgrade speakers' accent and comprehensibility when they perceive them to be from a different language community--a process known as reverse linguistic stereotyping (RLS)--research has generally relied solely on quantitative data such as Likert scale ratings. The current study sought to extend the analysis further by…

Knowles, Thea; Adams, Scott G.; Jog, Mandar – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to quantify changes in speech intelligibility in two cohorts of people with Parkinson's disease (PD; those with and without deep brain stimulation [DBS]) across a broad range of self-selected speech rate alterations in: (1) read sentences; and (2) extemporaneous speech (monologues). Method: Four speaker groups…

Icht, Michal; Bergerzon-Bitton, Orly; Ben-David, Boaz M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
'Dysarthria' is a group of motor speech disorders resulting from a disturbance in neuromuscular control. Most individuals with dysarthria cope with communicative restrictions due to speech impairments and reduced intelligibility. Thus, language-sensitive measurements of intelligibility are important in dysarthria neurological assessment. The…

Scheffler, Pawel; Baranowska, Karolina – Language Learning & Technology, 2023
While there is ample research on the effect of exposure to foreign language (FL) video materials on developing vocabulary knowledge and listening skills, research on the impact of watching videos on acquiring pronunciation skills, especially in terms of both perception and production, is still in its infancy. This study investigates the effect of…

Tsunemoto, Aki; Lindberg, Rachael; Trofimovich, Pavel; McDonough, Kim – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study examined the role of visual cues (facial expressions and hand gestures) in second language (L2) speech assessment. University students (N = 60) at English-medium universities assessed 2-minute video clips of 20 L2 English speakers (10 Chinese and 10 Spanish speakers) narrating a personal story. They rated the speakers'…

Chen, Yuchun; Lin, Wen-Jing – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2022
Background: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) demonstrate deficits in vocabulary development and novel word learning processes, which have been proposed to stem from their speech perception deficits. Aims: This study had two aims. The first was to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention incorporating a computer-based phonetic…

Sangki Kim – English Teaching, 2017
Intelligibility of second language (L2) English has become an important goal in English pronunciation teaching. However, intelligibility research primarily focused on L2 English users and L2 production features; only a handful of studies have examined other effects on the intelligibility of L2 English. In line with the three-part model of…

Ji, Caili; Galvin, John J.; Chang, Yi-ping; Xu, Anting; Fu, Qian-Jie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2014
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the understanding of English sentences produced by native (English) and nonnative (Spanish) talkers by listeners with normal hearing (NH) and listeners with cochlear implants (CIs). Method: Sentence recognition in noise was measured in adult subjects with CIs and subjects with NH, all of whom were…
