Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph reconsiders the question of speech isochrony, the regular recurrence of (stressed) syllables in time, from an empirical point of view. It proposes a methodology for discovering isochrony auditorily in speech and for verifying it instrumentally in the acoustic laboratory. In a small-scale study of an English conversational extract, the gestalt-like rhythmic structures which isochrony creates are shown to have a hierarchical organization. Then in a large-scale study of a corpus of British and American radio phone-in programs and family table conversations, the function of speech rhythm at turn transitions is investigated. It is argued that speech rhythm serves as a metric for the timing of turn transitions in casual English conversation. The articular rhythmic configuration of a transition can be said to contextualize the next turn as, generally speaking, affiliative or disaffiliative with the prior turn. The empirical investigation suggests that speech rhythm patterns at turn transitions in everyday English conversation are not random occurrences or the result of a social-psychological adaptation process but are contextualization cues which figure systematically in the creation and interpretation of linguistic meaning in communication.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stuttering is a communicative disorder that involves disruptions to fluent speech, which are characterized by frequent repetition or prolongation of syllables or words, and/or by frequent hesitations or pauses. Prior research has identified a number of hallmarks and deficits associated with stuttering, including generalized timing deficits, and reduced functional connectivity in the rhythm network previously identified to be involved in the perception of musical meter. Building on assumptions of (1) shared neurocognitive resources exist for metrical structure-building for perception and production of auditory patterns in both music and language, and (2) functional similarity exists in processes involved in predictive action-preparation from metrical structure in auditory information, it was predicted that a core deficit in stuttering involves deficiencies in integrating candidate metrical structures with sensory evidence that would support them. To test this prediction, an experiment was designed using a same/different rhythm discrimination task. Critically, half the stimuli provided greater support for the induction of a beat/meter ("simple rhythms"), whereas the other half were matched in interval types but provided less signal-based statistical support for the induction of a beat/meter ("complex rhythms"). Participants were 36 adults who do and do not stutter, and the rhythm discrimination task was done while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. For the behavioral results, statistical analyses using analysis of variance/covariance did not show any significant effects or interactions; however, a linear mixed effects model which accounted for multiple sources of variance revealed poorer performance on complex rhythm discrimination by adults who stutter compared with those that do not stutter. For the neural results, activation in the core rhythm network during the rhythm discrimination task was observed for both groups (bilateral insula, bilateral STG, bilateral SMA, and bilateral premotor area) for both simple and complex rhythms. However, adults who stutter additionally showed activation in the bilateral putamen and bilateral IFG, suggesting that one or both of these areas may perform a compensatory function in rhythm perception and predictive action-preparation. These results can be interpreted with respect to predictive coding processes in the brain supporting perception, action, and cognition, as well as recent conceptual extensions to auditory processing of music, language, and speech, which propose that linguistic perception and production are "two sides of the same coin." Specifically, it is proposed that listeners attempt to build top-down metrical representations for structured auditory sequences, and during language processing, these top-down metrical representations must be merged with representations of other structures in language to give rise to a coherent overall linguistic representation. It is proposed that a core deficit in stuttering involves deficient processes for integration of top-down metrical/prosodic structure and/or bottom-up sensory indices of dynamic sensorimotor states, toward construction of a coherent overall linguistic representation. Evidence for this proposal comes from findings that: (1) distal context rate and rhythm cues in speech influence metrical/prosodic structures heard across identical acoustic material, thereby influencing goodness-of-fit evaluations of alternative top-down candidate representations of lexico-syntax; (2) a hallmark of stuttering is anomalous white matter connectivity and reduced functional organization of rhythm networks in the brain. This study is the first to investigate non-speech rhythm perception in adults who stutter, and the findings suggest new hypotheses regarding how dynamic connections among brain structures (e.g., basal ganglia, STG) instantiate computations toward the imputation of timing and meter from acoustically variable auditory signals.

Book excerpt: What are the differences of rhythm in the production and perception of speech in speaking styles and languages? What are the physical manifestations and functions of rhythm in speech interaction? In this volume, seven papers by speech scientists from research fields and institutions across the world of phonetic science provide answers to these questions. The contributions give a survey of past experimental investigations, present data of recent analyses, and propose new directions for the future of rhythm research. The main focus lies on the entrainment of movement, the listener's active role in speech perception, as well as the guiding function in speaker-listener interchange. The new data of rhythm research include analyses of production patterns in Bulgarian, English, Estonian, German, Greek and Spanish, as well as corresponding perceptual experiments and links to physiological brain rhythms. The rhythmical structuring of speech in the languages of the world is significant for phoneticians, general linguists, philologists, psychologists, speech therapists and speech technologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to other works, the linguistic approach to rhythm presented in this book does not start from decontextualized structures but from performance data in a bottom-up fashion. Drawing on Halliday's distinction between wording, writing, and sounding, the proposed model takes account of several levels of abstraction. Important categories for data analysis are syllable rhythm and accent rhythm, which interact to establish prominence patterns (peaks and valleys) that can be observed in spontaneous and prepared speech, readings and recitals. Excluding subjective factors of analysis, the new model offers a tool to describe the rhythmic potential of prose and verse and to evaluate rhythmic performances of reading and reciting.
Download or read book Nature and Treatment of Stuttering written by Richard Frederick Curlee and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 1997 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long awaited revision was written based on the belief that clinical professionals should have specialized knowledge about a disorder, the people it affects, and how it can be managed effectively, and that such knowledge should be based on empirical scientific studies. The best and most authoritative sources for such information are the individuals who have been involved in its acquisition. Thus, this book's authors include researchers who gathered much of the data that are discussed, theorists who attempt to explain such data, and clinicians who developed and tested many of the assessment and management procedures currently employed with children and adults who stutter. This contributed text covers the epidemiology, characteristics, etiological accounts and treatment of stuttering. It provides thorough, scholarly reviews of what is known about stuttering and its clinical management. It is informative, comprehensive, current, and authoritative in its coverage. It is intended to be both a reference for professionals and a text for students in graduate research and clinical training programs.
