摘要:

To objectify the vocal fold functioning we opted for a method of processing the electroglottographic (EGG) signal. This study with 7 normal and 12 pathological voices presents the results of measurements over the chest register as a function of voice intensity and frequency. Reproduction measurements show that at least 5 measurements per intensity/frequency pair are needed to get a reasonable estimation of the EGG parameters. The averaged results over about 20 measurements in the chest register showed differences for some parameters for subjects in the most different categories. To get more consistent results we recommend to improve the measurement protocol and adjust the parameters.

摘要:

In classic generative grammar a distinction is drawn between linguistic ‘competence’ and linguistic ‘performance’, the former referring to linguistic knowledge, the latter to how linguistic knowledge is used. However, this controversial differentiation obscures the additional dichotomy between linguistic knowledge for production and linguistic knowledge for recognition. In this article it is shown that production and recognition differ, that recognition is not simply the inverse of production, and that the derivation of production from recognition and recognition from production require a small set of generalizable ‘transitional determinacies’. Secondly, it is shown that transitional determinacies explain the difference between ‘overt’ and ‘covert’ recognition recently observed in prosopagnosics, patients unable to recognize familiar faces. Prosopagnosics and normals are found to differ in their transitional determinacies, such that prosopagnosics require more binders (precisors) for covert recognition than normals. In general, it is concluded that transitional determinacies are as necessary to the theory of grammar as deter

摘要:

The averaged sound spectra produced by cleft patients with a Sanvenero-Rosselli (SR, n = 4) and modified Honig (MH, n = 4) velopharyngeal flap were compared with each other and with the spectra produced by 4 healthy controls. Each subject produced 16 sound spectra; the total number of spectra was 432. The results indicated that the averaged sound spectra produced by MH patients resembled more closely the spectra produced by healthy controls, while the spectra by SR patients differed from those of MH patients and controls. It was concluded that the differences in the averaged spectra of SR and MH patients reflected differences in the region of the oral cavity, particularly the oropharynx rather than the region of the nasopharynx. The results of this preliminary study indicate that this topic is worth further studies.

摘要:

The sex, normality, intelligibility, rate, rhythm and intonation of 44 neoglottal, oesophageal and normal speakers have been judged by a panel of 10 trained listeners. It was found that the sex of the alaryngeal speakers was perceived correctly much less reliably than that of the normal speakers. Neoglottal speakers were rated more normal and intelligible than oesophageal speakers. The speaking rate of neoglottal speakers was judged not to be significantly different from that of normal speakers. Neoglottal speakers were considered more fluent and to have better intonation than the other alaryngeal speakers. Thus neoglottal speakers were found, on average, to be as good as or better than good oesophageal speakers in each of the respects of which judgements were made.
