   Sammanfattning : The present study examines possible effects of extramural English (EE) on oral proficiency (OP) and vocabulary (VOC). The study is based on data collected from Swedish learners of ESL in grade 9 (aged 15-16; N=80; 36 boys, 44 girls) over a period of one year. LÄS MER

3. 12. Performance, Processing and Perception of Communicative Motion for Avatars and Agents

   Författare :Simon Alexanderson; Jonas Beskow; John Glauert; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Sammanfattning : Artificial agents and avatars are designed with a large variety of face and body configurations. Some of these (such as virtual characters in films) may be highly realistic and human-like, while others (such as social robots) have considerably more limited expressive means. LÄS MER

4. 13. A Quantitative Rule System for Musical Performance

   Författare :Anders Friberg; Johan Sundberg; Giovanni Di Poli; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; music performance; expression; interpretation; rules; computer music; midi; jnd; time discrimination; locomotion; motion; listening experiment; perception; timing; phrasing; intonation; Speech and Music Communication; Tal- och musikkommunikation;

   Sammanfattning : A rule system is described that translates an input score file to a musical performance. The rules model different principles of interpretation used by real musicians, such as phrasing, punctuation, harmonic and melodic structure, micro timing, accents, intonation, and final ritard.

5. 14. The sounds of radio : on radio as an auditive means of communication

   Författare :Carin Åberg; Uwe Hasebrink; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; radio; communication theory; sound-meaning; radio listening; radio programmes; programme analysis.; medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap; Media and Communication Studies;

   Sammanfattning : The primary purpose of this doctoral thesis is to present a theoretical framework for analysis of communication through radio, taking the sounding dimension of the medium as a primary characteristic. My theoretical approach is manifold, but I explicitly use writings from the field of ethnomethodology/microsociology (linguistic communication) of Alfred Schutz (sociology of everyday life) and Gerhard Maletzke (mediated communication).

7. 15. Analyses of voice and glottographic signals in singing and speech

   Författare :Andreas Selamtzis; Sten Ternström; Paavo Alku; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; voice ; singing ; electroglottography ; clustering ; dysphonia ; sample entropy ; ; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Sammanfattning : Recent advances in machine learning and time series analysis techniques have brought new perspectives to a great number of scientific fields. This thesis contributes applications of such techniques to voice analysis, in an attempt to extract information on the vibration of the vocal folds as such, as well as on the radiated acoustic signal.
