Brain Responses to Letters and Speech Sounds and Their Correlations With Cognitive Skills Related to Reading in Children
2018
Letter-speech sound (LSS) integration is crucial for initial stages of reading acquisition. However, the relationship between cortical organization for supporting LSS integration, including unimodal and multimodal processes, and reading skills in early readers remains unclear. In the present study, we measured brain responses to Finnish letters and speech sounds from 29 typically developing Finnish children in a child-friendly audiovisual integration experiment using magnetoencephalography. Brain source activations in response to auditory, visual and audiovisual stimuli as well as audiovisual integration response were correlated with reading skills and cognitive skills predictive of reading…
Spoken Language Development and the Challenge of Skill Integration
2019
The development of phonological awareness, the knowledge of the structural combinatoriality of a language, has been widely investigated in relation to reading (dis)ability across languages. However, the extent to which knowledge of phonemic units may interact with spoken language organization in (transparent) alphabetical languages has hardly been investigated. The present study examined whether phonemic awareness correlates with coarticulation degree, commonly used as a metric for estimating the size of children’s production units. A speech production task was designed to test for developmental differences in intra-syllabic coarticulation degree in 41 German children from 4 to 7 years of a…
Przebieg rozwoju mowy u dzieci z SLI-PE i LB – analiza porównawcza
2017
W niniejszym artykule prezentujemy fragment szeroko zakrojonych badań poświęconych problematyce dzieci z poważnym opóźnieniem w rozwoju mowy; opóźnieniem, którego nie można wiązać z żadnym uchwytnym czynnikiem etiologicznym (jak w wypadku dzieci z późnym rozkwitem mowy LB – ang. late bloomers, czy dzieci ze specyficznym zaburzeniem językowym – SLI, ang. specific language impairment). Postawienie trafnej diagnozy przed ukończeniem 3. r.ż. dziecka, tj odróżnienie zjawiska late bloomers od late talkers, czyli dzieci później rozkwitających pod względem językowym od później mówiących jest obecnie niemożliwe ze względu na brak doniesień z badań poświęconych dzieciom z LB i analiz porównawczych.

Implizite Sprachmischung in Kontaktidiomen zweisprachiger Oberschlesier
2020
Early language contact research often focused on the so-called explicit language mix-ing, where the elements of one language were clearly present in the second language. This article is devoted to the less frequent manifestations of the so-called implicit lan-guage mixing, where only structures of one language are used, whereas the means of expression are taken from the other language. The research corpus is made up of state-ments by bilingual Upper Silesians, who were interviewed as part of a project on time witnesses accounts. The informants live in an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous region, whose inhabitants have different language repertoires depending on factors such as place o…
Use of Antihypertensive Drugs During Preeclampsia
2018
Treatment of pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders, such as preeclampsia (PE), remain a challenging problem in obstetrics. Typically, aggressive antihypertensive drug treatment options are avoided to prevent pharmacological-induced hypotension. Another major concern of administering antihypertensive drugs during pregnancy is possible adverse fetal outcome. In addition, management of hypertension during pregnancy in chronic hypertensive patients or in patients with prior kidney problems are carefully considered. Recent studies suggest that PE patients are at increased cardiovascular risk postpartum. Therefore, these patients need to be monitored postpartum for the subsequent development o…
Libertad de expresión y el caso del lenguaje del odio. Una aproximación desde la perspectiva norteamericana y la perspectiva alemana
2010
Resumen Este artículo analiza las concepciones sobre la libertad de expresión en el caso del lenguaje del odio, centrándose en algunos aspectos de la perspectiva norteamericana y en algunos aspectos de la perspectiva alemana. El primer modelo está basado en la libertad negativa y se corresponde con la visión del mercado de las ideas que ha elaborado la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema norteamericana. Este Tribunal ha otorgado una papel prioritario a la libertad de expresión, que debería limitarse sólo en casos de un peligro claro y presente o amenaza de desordenes públicos. El segundo modelo, centrado en la libertad positiva, otorga un papel prioritario a la dignidad humana frente a la l…

Voz cantada y Electromiografía de Superficie: Un estudio comparativo de la actividad muscular en cantantes formados y no formados
2018
En los últimos años ha habido un incremento del uso de la Electromiografía de Superficie en logopedia, lo que se evidencia en el número creciente de publicaciones en este área en revistas científicas. Este instrumento permite presentar de forma objetiva y precisa la actividad mioeléctrica en tiempo real, es no invasiva y se percibe de fácil aplicación. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar la actividad mioeléctrica de los músculos maseteros, suprahioideos y esternoicleidomastoideos de cantantes con y sin entrenamiento vocal reglado a través de la Electromiografía de Superficie durante la realización de un fonetograma. La muestra estuvo conformada por 12 sopranos con edades entre 19 y 29 a…
Arte da Linguagem na Era da Panofonia
2018
This article calls attention to the hybrid genre of voice-based performances and its blending of the supposed binaries of human and machinic speech. Using the concept of panophonia, the author refers to the animatronic sculptures of speaking figures created by Ken Feingold and to Mark Böhlen’s talking robots. Through their comparative analysis, the author explores different poetic metalanguages both artists create to deconstruct communicative structures that demarcate post-human era.
Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss in scholastic age subjects: Psychopedagogical aspects
2006
The Authors want to assess a probable significant relation between the unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and some learning difficulties and language acquisitions, often found, through our observation, in impaired children. The Authors have examined a group of subjects in their scholastic age who have this kind of hearing loss and, through several dialogues with them, they have gathered some relevant data about the difficulties that children have at school, and drawn up a questionnaire.
