1. 1. Nativelike Performance : A Corpus Study of Pragmatic Markers, Repair and Repetition in Native and Non-native English Speech

   Författare :Annika Denke; Britt Erman; Anna-Brita Stenström; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; fluency; oral presentations; Swedish and native speakers of English; pragmatic markers; repair; repetition; nativelike communicative performance; English language; Engelska språket;

   Sammanfattning : This is a corpus study of native (N) and non-native (NN) communicative performance in speech as realised through pragmatic markers, repair and repetition. The concept of fluency and what it encompasses is discussed in the section dealing with the theoretical background of the study. LÄS MER

3. 2. Semantic Framing of Speech : Emotional and Topical Cues in Perception of Poorly Specified Speech

   Författare :Björn Lidestam; Björn Lyxell; Staffan Hygge; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Speech perception; speechreading; facial expressions; priming; phonemes; semantics; lipreading; auditory perception; cognition; paralinguistics; emotional content; Läppavläsning; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to test the effects of paralinguistic (emotional) and prior contextual (topical) cues on perception of poorly specified visual, auditory, and audiovisual speech. The specific purposes were to (1) examine if facially displayed emotions can facilitate speechreading performance; (2) to study the mechanism for such facilitation; (3) to map information-processing factors that are involved in processing of poorly specified speech; and (4) to present a comprehensive conceptual framework for speech perception, with specification of the signal being considered.

4. 3. Entropy and Speech

   Författare :Mattias Nilsson; Bastian Kleijn; Sören Holdt Jensen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; speech representation; energy concentration; entropy estimation; manifolds; Acoustics; Akustik;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we study the representation of speech signals and the estimation of information-theoretical measures from observations containing features of the speech signal. The main body of the thesis consists of four research papers. Paper A presents a compact representation of the speech signal that facilitates perfect reconstruction. LÄS MER

5. 4. Speech masking speech in everyday communication : The role of inhibitory control and working memory capacity

   Författare :Victoria Stenbäck; Birgitta Larsby; Björn Lyxell; Mathias Hällgren; Jonas Brännström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hearing impairment; normal hearing; age; speech-in-noise; working memory; inhibitory control; listening effort; Hörselnedsättning; normal hörsel; ålder; tal-i-brus; arbetsminne; inhibitionskontroll; lyssningansträngning;

   Sammanfattning : Age affects hearing and cognitive abilities. Older people, with and without hearing impairment (HI), exhibit difficulties in hearing speech in noise. LÄS MER

7. 5. Found speech and humans in the loop : Ways to gain insight into large quantities of speech

   Författare :Per Fallgren; Jens Edlund; Fred Cummins; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Found data; found speech; human-in-the-loop; sound browsing; dimensionality reduction; visualization; crowdsourcing; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Sammanfattning : Found data - data used for something other than the purpose for which it was originally collected - holds great value in many regards. It typically reflects high ecological validity, a strong cultural worth, and there are significant quantities at hand. However, it is noisy, hard to search through, and its contents are often largely unknown. LÄS MER
