The tone atlas of perceptual discriminability and perceptual distance: Four tone languages and five language groups
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Some prior investigations suggest that tone perception is flexible, reasonably independent of native phonology, whereas others suggest it is constrained by native phonology. We address this issue in a systematic and ...
Language specificity in cortical tracking of speech rhythm at the mora, syllable, and foot levels
(NATURE, 2022)
Recent research shows that adults’ neural oscillations track the rhythm of the speech signal. However, the extent to which this tracking is driven by the acoustics of the signal, or by language-specific processing remains ...
The Acoustic Features and Didactic Function of Foreigner-Directed Speech: A Scoping Review
(ASHA, 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 ...
Infants’ Sensitivity to Lexical Tone and Word Stress in Their First Year: A Thai and English Cross- Language Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Non-tone language infants’ native language recognition is based first on
supra-segmental then segmental cues, but this trajectory is unknown for
tone-language infants. This study investigated non-tone (English) and ...
Seeing a talking face matters: The relationship between cortical tracking of continuous auditory ‐visual speech and gaze behaviour in infants, children and adults
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
An auditory-visual speech benefit, the benefit that visual speech cues bring to auditory speech perception, is experienced from early on in infancy and continues to be experienced to an increasing degree with age. While ...
A short-form version of the Australian English Communicative Development Inventory
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Purpose: The Australian English Communicative Development Inventory (OZI) is a 558-item parent report tool for
assessing language development at 12–30 months. Here, we introduce the short form (OZI-SF), a 100-item, ...
COVID-19 first lockdown as a window into language acquisition: associations between caregiver-child activities and vocabulary gains
(2022)
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting closure of daycare centers worldwide, led to unprecedented
changes in children’s learning environments. This period of increased time at home with
caregivers, with limited access ...
Input quality and speech perception development in bilingual infants' first year of life
(WILEY, 2022)
Individual differences in infants’ native phonological development have been
linked to the quantity and quality of infant-directed
speech (IDS). The effects of
parental and infant bilingualism on this relation in 131 ...
Language development in infants with hearing loss: Benefits of infant-directed speech
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
The majority of infants with permanent congenital hearing loss fall significantly behind their
normal hearing peers in the development of receptive and expressive oral communication skills.
Independent of any prosthetic ...
