Cassandra Alighieri; Andrew Hodges; Jolien Verbeke; Katrien Kestens; Kim Bettens; Rica Albite; Raphaelle May Tan; Kristiane Van Lierde – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Adults presenting with unrepaired cleft palate are not a rare occurrence in middle-income countries. However, many surgeons are hesitant to operate on these individuals because of the challenges in repairing the wide adult cleft palate, as well as concerns regarding any improvement in speech in older patients. Unfortunately, the…

SebastiĆ£o Quintas; Mathieu Balaguer; Julie Mauclair; Virginie Woisard; Julien Pinquier – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Perceptual measures such as speech intelligibility are known to be biased, variant and subjective, to which an automatic approach has been seen as a more reliable alternative. On the other hand, automatic approaches tend to lack explainability, an aspect that can prevent the widespread usage of these technologies clinically. Aims: In…

Sand, Anders; Hagberg, Emilie; Lohmander, Anette – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) is a common birth defect, and after reconstructive surgery, about 50% of children at 5 years of age have speech deviations and are referred to speech-language therapy (SLT). The peer-reviewed evidence for the benefit of SLT has been uncertain. Our objective was to systematically review and meta-analytically…

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate a novel communication system designed to translate surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals from articulatory muscles into speech using a personalized, digital voice. The system was evaluated for word recognition, prosodic classification, and listener perception of synthesized speech. Method: sEMG signals were…

Sato, Koji; Genda, Junji; Minabe, Ryoya; Taniguchi, Takumi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of electrolaryngeal (EL) speech among untrained speakers to aid in its effective introduction and to identify syllables and words that are easy or difficult to pronounce. Method: A total of 21 healthy individuals who had never used an EL were included. The participants were…

Sinagra, Chloe; Wiener, Seth – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Face masks affect the transmission of speech and obscure facial cues. Here, we examine how this reduction in acoustic and facial information affects a listener's understanding of speech prosody. English sentence pairs that differed in their intonational (statement/question) and emotional (happy/sad) prosody were created. These pairs were recorded…

Hong, Szu-Wei; Chan, Roger W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study examined the acoustic properties of Taiwanese (Southern Min) lexical tones produced in esophageal speech (ES) and pneumatic artificial laryngeal speech (PAL), including onset fundamental frequency (F0), slope of F0 contour, duration, and amplitude (intensity) of the vowel portion of syllables carrying seven Taiwanese tones.…

Kutlu, Ethan; Tiv, Mehrgol; Wulff, Stefanie; Titone, Debra – Applied Linguistics, 2022
"Standard" varieties are often perceived as morally superior compared with "nonstandard" varieties (Hill 2008). Consequently, these differences lead to ideologies that racialize "nonstandard" varieties (Rosa 2016), and increase the negative stereotypes towards "nonstandard" varieties (Giles and Watson 2013).…

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'…
