Elīzijas lietošanas variācijas analīze Borisa Džonsona un Žistēna Trido runās
2022
Veidojot saistītu runu, jāņem vērā, ka bieži vien vairāk tiek uzsvērts konkrētās runas konteksts, nevis pareizas gramatikas un izrunas īpatnības. Šādās runās var novērot daudzas saistītās runas īpatnības atkarībā no runātāja emocionalitātes, attieksmes pret konkrētās runas ideju, valodas variācijām, runas tempa, intonācijas utt. Šajā pētījumā galvenā uzmanība pievērsta runas iezīmei elīzija, kas rodas, ja saistītās runas veidošanas laikā tiek izlaista kāda skaņa. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt saistītās runas pazīmes - elīzijas īpatnības, vēsturiskos un mūsdienu aspektus un analizēt šīs pazīmes sastopamības variācijas Lielbritānijas un Kanādas premjerministru runās, ņemot vērā runas formalit…
Compounds, phrases and clitics in connected speech
2017
Abstract Four language production experiments examine how English speakers plan compound words during phonological encoding. The experiments tested production latencies in both delayed and online tasks for English noun-noun compounds (e.g., daytime), adjective-noun phrases (e.g., dark time), and monomorphemic words (e.g., denim). In delayed production, speech onset latencies reflect the total number of prosodic units in the target sentence. In online production, speech latencies reflect the size of the first prosodic unit. Compounds are metrically similar to adjective-noun phrases as they contain two lexical and two prosodic words. However, in Experiments 1 and 2, native English speakers tr…
Representation and Processing of Lexical Tone and Tonal Variants: Evidence from the Mismatch Negativity
2015
Pronunciation variation is ubiquitous in the speech signal. Different models of lexical representation have been put forward to deal with speech variability, which differ in the level as well as the nature of mental representation. We present the first mismatch negativity (MMN) study investigating the effect of allophonic variation on the mental representation and neural processing of lexical tones. Native speakers of Standard Chinese (SC) participated in an oddball electroencephalography (EEG) experiment. All stimuli have the same segments (ma) but different lexical tones: level [T1], rising [T2], and dipping [T3]. In connected speech with a T3T3 sequence, the first T3 may undergo allopho…
Neural processing of nouns and verbs in spontaneous speech of patients with schizophrenia.
2021
Previous fMRI-studies investigating the production of nouns and verbs in healthy participants reported predominantly activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) for both classes of words with increased neural responses for verbs. To date, comparable imaging data for spontaneous speech in patients with schizophrenia is missing. These results are novel and may contribute to understand the neural basis of noun and verb production in a "natural" environment. Fifteen patients with schizophrenia and fifteen healthy control participants described pictures for one minute each while BOLD signal changes were measured with fMRI. In an event-related design, activations related to noun and verb …
