  1. 1. Neural Asymmetry in the Perception of South Swedish Word Accents

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fonetik

    Author : Huayuan Cui; [2023]
    Keywords : speech perception; South Swedish; Swedish word accents; mismatch negativity; MMN; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. READ MORE

  3. 2. The role of word accents in semantic processing in South Swedish

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fonetik

    Author : Jinhee Kwon; [2023]
    Keywords : Word accents; spoken word recognition; prediction; ERP; N400; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : Prosodic cues can aid speech processing by adding semantic information in lexical tones or functional information in intonational tones. Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. READ MORE

  4. 3. The effect of body position on the relative contribution of the rib cage to speech breathing and voice quality

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för fonetik

    Author : Helena Engström; [2023]
    Keywords : Speech breathing; body position; voice quality; respiratory inductance plethysmography; accelerometer; Talandning; kroppsposition; röstkvalité; respiratory inductance plethysmography; accelerometer;

    Abstract : This study investigates how body position affects the relative contribution of the rib cage to speech breathing and voice quality. The frequently used upright and supine body positions are expanded with the addition of an inverted position as a condition. READ MORE

  5. 4. Lexical competition and predictive certainty in speech recognition: Modulations of pre-activation negativity amplitude by continuations, entropy and inhibition

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fonetik

    Author : Anna Hjortdal; [2022]
    Keywords : Speech perception; spoken word recognition; lexical competition; ERPs; PrAN.; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : A growing body of evidence suggests that speech recognition is facilitated by rapid activation of possible lexical candidates and subsequent competition and selection. An event-related potential (ERP) component 136-204 ms after word onset, the pre-activation negativity (PrAN), correlates with lexical competition. READ MORE

  6. 5. Anticipatory vowel-to-consonant coarticulation of Swedish voiceless fricatives [s], [ɕ] and [ɧ]

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för fonetik

    Abstract : In this thesis, anticipatory vowel-to-consonant coarticulation of Swedish fricatives [s], [ɕ], and [ɧ] was examined in isolated words and connected speech. 10 women and 10 men participated in the study, performing a production test where fricative-initial, real words were read as isolated words and in sentences.
