Liu, Xiaoluan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
How could individual differences in processing non-speech acoustic signals influence their cue weighting strategies for L2 speech contrasts? The present study investigated this question by testing forty L1 Chinese-L2 English listeners with two tasks: one for testing the listeners' sensitivity to pitch and temporal information of non-speech…

Hapsari, Audrey Ayu; Inayati, Dian; Wardani, Sri – Journal of English Teaching, 2022
The COVID-19 outbreak has forced our education process into online learning. Unfortunately, the suddenness has left both teachers and students unprepared, causing students to experience some degree of anxiety, particularly in foreign language speaking skills. This study aims to investigate students' perception of voice notes to reduce students'…

Gilden, David L.; Mezaraups, Taylor M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
It is shown that a particular class of pauses taken in both read and composed speech obey allometric laws such that mean pause length predicts body size. The pauses in this class have durations that roughly span 250 ms to 1,000 ms and are taken to mark grammatical and prosodic boundaries. A theory of pause allometry is developed based on the…

Döring, Anna-Lisa; Abdel Rahman, Rasha; Zwitserlood, Pienie; Lorenz, Antje – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The lexical representation of compound words in speech production is still under debate. While most studies with healthy adult speakers suggest that a single lemma representation is active during compound production, data from neuropsychological studies point toward multiple representations, with activation of the compound's constituent lemmas in…

Hyland, Ken; Zou, Hang – Applied Linguistics, 2022
Academic communication crucially involves readers, or hearers, buying into an argument. The audience has to be hooked, involved and led to a desired conclusion, and this is perhaps no more urgent than in a Three Minute Thesis presentation (3MT). In this competitive environment, doctoral students present their research using only one static slide…

Fournet, Maryll; Chiuvé, Sabina Catalano; Laganaro, Marina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: While the involvement of attention in utterance planning is well established at the conceptual and lexical levels, the attentional demands of postlexical processes are still debated. This study investigates the involvement of attentional resources on motor speech encoding during utterance production in the context of Parkinson's disease…

Chen, Mei-Rong Alice; Hwang, Gwo-Jen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
English speaking is a challenging learning objective for EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners owing to the lack of practicing environments. In this study, Interactive Spherical Video-based Virtual Reality (ISVVR) was adopted as the learning mode to provide realistic sociocultural contexts for English speaking. In addition, an experiment was…

Piazza, Giorgio; Martin, Clara D.; Kalashnikova, Marina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This scoping review considers the acoustic features of a clear speech register directed to nonnative listeners known as foreigner-directed speech (FDS). We identify vowel hyperarticulation and low speech rate as the most representative acoustic features of FDS; other features, including wide pitch range and high intensity, are still under…

Schmidt-Rinehart, Barbara C.; LeLoup, Jean W. – NECTFL Review, 2022
An accurate portrayal of contemporary Spanish in Costa Rica necessitates the inclusion of a discussion of forms of address. Costa Rica is commonly listed among the countries that include "voseo" as part of its pronominal paradigm. The present descriptive study elucidates the sociolinguistic reality of "voseo" in Costa Rica and…

Meng, Yaru; Chen, Fei; Feng, Yan; Peng, Gang; Zheng, Wei – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study investigated the categorical perception of Mandarin tones and consonant aspiration contrasts in babble noise among adults and adolescents aged 12-14 years, and explored the association between working memory and categorical perception. Method: Twenty-four adults and 20 adolescents with Mandarin as their native language were…

McKee, Cecile; McDaniel, Dana; Garrett, Merrill F. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Certain structures are particularly challenging for children. Explanations of such challenges reference both grammatical development and processing capacities. This study concerns production-specific considerations. Sixteen adults and 72 children from ages 3;01 to 8;11 participated in an experiment designed to elicit imitation of one-, two-, and…

Baker, Elisabeth – Journal of Child Language, 2022
The current study investigates Spanish children's variation between the standard and non-standard forms for second person singular preterit --s ("caiste" [approximately equal to] "caístes"). All second person singular preterit forms were extracted from the spontaneous speech of 78 children in Spain and analyzed for the effects…

Zhang, Man – Applied Linguistics, 2022
Until now, there has been very little unified analysis of metadiscourse across speech and writing. Drawing on a reflexive metadiscourse model, this article conducts a multidimensional analysis of metadiscourse across 10 spoken and written registers in a corpus of 626 texts. Two metadiscourse dimensions, participants' interaction and discourse…

Brosseau-Lapré, Françoise; Roepke, Elizabeth – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Children with speech sound disorders have more difficulties producing speech sounds accurately than same-age peers. In addition, they often have difficulties with speech perception, and weaker phonological awareness skills than their peers and are at risk for negative long-term academic and socio-emotional outcomes. In this tutorial, we…

Southwell, Rosy; Pugh, Samuel; Perkoff, E. Margaret; Clevenger, Charis; Bush, Jeffrey B.; Lieber, Rachel; Ward, Wayne; Foltz, Peter; D'Mello, Sidney – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has considerable potential to model aspects of classroom discourse with the goals of automated assessment, feedback, and instructional support. However, modeling student talk is besieged by numerous challenges including a lack of data for child speech, low signal to noise ratio, speech disfluencies, and…
