Researchers find that stretching facial skin during speech affects perceived sound, linking production and perception. The study contributes to understanding the relationship between speech perception and production.
Studies reveal that word order affects language production, with French speakers using a different syntax than English speakers. Additionally, researchers find commonalities in naming patterns for locomotion across languages, suggesting universal rules and constraints.
Researchers at Duke University found that music tones correspond to the same numerical ratios as human speech frequencies. The study suggests that our ears favor these relationships due to exposure through everyday speech. This discovery may explain why certain tuning schemes sound more natural, like just intonation.
The study reveals that the brain uses non-auditory sensory cues to control speech, with subjects learning to compensate for robotic interference even when speech sounds normal.
Researchers discovered that jaw stiffness significantly impacts speech production, causing variability in motion as sounds are made. The study measured jaw stiffness and its effect on kinematic variability during speech production, revealing a relationship between the two.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute developed a theory to explain lexical selection and form encoding in spoken word production. The theory proposes two major processing components: lexical selection and form encoding, which can be completed within two-thirds of a second.
Digital speech analysis tests can quantify signs of intoxication, such as jumpy pitch and energy changes. The test, developed by Georgia Tech researcher Kathleen E. Cummings, analyzes vocal cord movements during speech production.
