The HFA findings were compared to relevant findings for normal speech and showed: (a) very similar tonal patterns, (b) more expanded tonal, and (c) longer utterances.","PeriodicalId":447857,"journal":{"name":"ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117101283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to response time data, coefficient of variance (CV) for response times was used to investigate quantitative differences in lexical processing between groups.

For example, lexical access via automatic routes results in lower CVs, and lexical access via attentional routes results in higher CVs. The current study replicates findings for automatic semantic priming in non-native speakers and contributes behavioural data for the argument that priming in a non-native speaker group can be qualitatively similar to that in native speakers.","PeriodicalId":447857,"journal":{"name":"ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127483229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on the geographical localisation of about thirty speakers from seven French-speaking areas: Vendee (West of France), Languedoc (South of France), Alsace (East of France), Romand Switzerland, East, Centre and West of Belgium. Contrary to the speake bracket (older or younger than 60) and speaking style (read or spontaneous speech), listeners) have a major effect. Confusions are frequent among the Belgian areas, but taken as a whole, the Belgian accent is remarkably well identified, especially by Belgian listeners. The Southern accent remains identified best.","PeriodicalId":447857,"journal":{"name":"ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126986802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, English, a satellite-framed language, gives the manner information in the main verb and expresses the path of motion with a separate component. The present study uses this dichotomy to see whether the motion event expressions patterns of these two typologically different languages (French and English) are also reflected in their motion event categorisations or not.","PeriodicalId":447857,"journal":{"name":"ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics","volume":"48 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116470370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis concerned the inflection of nouns, adjectives and verbs. The results showed that, even though the morphological features of names and verbs were marked correctly in the majority of utterances, errors were still observed in the child’s speech.

Indeed, whereas the speaker can achieve some planning ahead while reading a written text, it is barely the case for the listener, who has to process the sequence of syllabic units perceived one by one along the time scale. It is suggested here that prosodic events are used as acoustic signals triggering partial processing and storage of the already perceived syllables, followed by a concatenation of linguistic units (normally stress groups) already stored. This paper looks in some details into the mechanism of this decoding process, focusing on the role of prosodic events in the specific case of French.","PeriodicalId":447857,"journal":{"name":"ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics","volume":"86 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126281448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Special emphasis is given to the evolution of language disorders in relation with ADHD, because both of them appear during preschool age and influence in a crucial manner the acquisition of basic learning readiness skills. The review of a considerable body of literature indicates that the co morbidity of ADHD with language difficulties worsens children’s behaviour problems at preschool age and affects their socialization and academic performance. Hence, it is concluded that a proper and valid diagnosis of ADHD and language difficulties plus combined and suitable interventions will reduce the amount and quality of ADHD symptoms.","PeriodicalId":447857,"journal":{"name":"ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Experimental Linguistics","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114493751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
