Speech was recorded from six mothers addressing their 2 year olds, and, in another session, addressing an adult, under comparable conditions. Open and closed‐class words were excised from both types of speech and were presented, in isolation, to adult listeners for identification. Children may ...

Phonetics, the study of how speech is produced and perceived, generally distinguishes between two classes of phonemes, consonants and vowels. One basis for this distinction is related to differences in how these sounds are produced. Vowels are produced with a relatively open and unobstructed vocal ...
For speech stimuli, MMRs show different age-related trajectories for different linguistic features, such as native versus non-native phonemic contrasts [41], word versus non-words, or even distinctions between different word classes [42]. MMRs to non-native phonemic contrasts have been reported ...
It’s smart to get the harder classes out of the way first. Taking summer classes will help students get ahead of schedule. See this page for a full list ofPersuasive Speech Topics for College Students. 10 Teens Persuasive Speech Topics ...
Drama classes and LAMDA exam tuition for 4-18+ Year olds: empowering voices bodies and minds to expand life’s horizons and future possibilities for every student.
Observation of events must provide the semantic content (see Fisher, 2000, for a review). Experimental results suggest that 2-year-olds are appropriately open-minded about the possible meanings of transitive verbs: when children are presented with a novel verb in a transitive sentence, they can ...
1 Grammatical category acquisition, thus, provides a significant test case for the evaluation of any acquisition theory, and in particular for beginning an inquiry into the importance of distributional analysis in language learning. Two classes of theories have suggested that distributional analyses might...
The aim of this study is to explore vocabulary used by representatives of different social classes. This objective involves the following tasks: consideration of the concepts of norm and social class; consideration functions of various layers of language used in different situations; identification the...
Although researchers have measured many speech signal properties, they have failed to identify reliable acoustic characteristics for language classes. This paper presents instrumental measurements based on a consonant/vowel segmentation for eight languages. The measurements suggest that intuitive rhythm types ...
