1. 11. Nasals and Nasalisation in Speech Production with Special Emphasis on Methodology and Osaka Japanese

   Författare :Mechtild Tronnier; Fonetik; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Mora Nasal; Osaka Japanese; Nasalisation; Nasals; Phonetics; Speech Production; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

   Sammanfattning : Nasal speech sounds occur in most of the languages of the world. Two goals concerning nasalisation in speech were pursued in the studies presented in this volume. LÄS MER

3. 12. Mother tongue - Phonetic Aspects of Infant-Directed Speech

   Författare :Ulla Sundberg; Anne Fernald; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; infant-directed speech; language acquisition; mother-infant interaction; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

   Sammanfattning : Phonetic aspects of mother-infant interaction are discussed in light of a functionalist Mother-infant phonetic interaction (MIPhI) model. Adults addressing infants typically use a speech style (infant-directed speech, IDS) characterized by, for instance, extensive suprasegmental (prosodic) modulations. LÄS MER

4. 13. Articulatory-Acoustic Relationships in Swedish Vowel Sounds

   Författare :Christine Ericsdotter; Olle Engstrand; Björn Lindblom; Peter Ladefoged; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Swedish vowels; articulatory modelling; MRI; Phonetics; Fonetik;

   Sammanfattning : The goal of this work was to evaluate the performance of a classical method for predicting vocal tract cross-sectional areas from cross-distances, to be implemented in speaker-specific articulatory modelling. The data forming the basis of the evaluation were magnetic resonance images from the vocal tract combined with simultaneous audio and video recordings. LÄS MER

5. 14. Computational Modeling of the Vocal Tract : Applications to Speech Production

   Författare :Saeed Dabbaghchian; Olov Engwall; Sidney Fels; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vocal tract; upper airway; speech production; biomechanical model; acoustic model; vocal tract reconstruction; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Sammanfattning : Human speech production is a complex process, involving neuromuscular control signals, the effects of articulators' biomechanical properties and acoustic wave propagation in a vocal tract tube of intricate shape. Modeling these phenomena may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the involved mechanisms, and may also have future medical applications, e. LÄS MER

7. 15. Babble, grunts, and words : a study of phonetic shape and functional use in the beginnings of language

   Författare :Liselotte Roug-Hellichius; Florien J. Koopmansvan Beinum; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

   Sammanfattning : The present study follows in the tradition of those seeking to understand linguistic behavior from a cognitive and socio-biological perspective (Bates, Benigni, Bretherton, Camaioni and Volterra 1979, Lindblom 1992, Hauser 1996) by tracing the development of a non-linguistic vocal behavior in relation to communicative and early lexical advances. More specifically the study focuses on the occurrence of what are termed ìcommunicative gruntsî and their functional relationship to adult based word use in one Swedish boy from 11 to 19 months of age.
