  4. 3. Speech Fluency and Ageing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för lingvistik och kognitiv semiotik; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

    Author : Harry Polfeldt; [2022]
    Keywords : fluency; age; ageing; aging; linguistics; language; disfluencies; disfluency; dysfluency; dysfluencies; speech; error; errors; psycholinguistics; pause; pauses; repetition; repetitions; lengthening; lengthenings; prolongation; prolongations; swedish; interruption; interruptions; filled; unfilled; unfilled pause; unfilled pauses; filled pause; filled pauses; speech error; speech errors; speech fluency; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : Several physiological changes in the speech production process in old age have been documented, yet studies of cognitive changes are few and inconclusive. The current study investigates changes in rates of disfluencies, rates of speech errors and speech rate to examine if speech fluency changes throughout the adult lifespan, as well as whether the influence of task complexity on fluency remains constant regardless of the age of the speaker.

  5. 4. Cross-linguistic influence in the description of dimensional adjectives : Measuring the linguistic performance of l2 spanish in high-school students

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Sophie Charlotte Ugarte Bern; [2022]
    Keywords : Cross-linguistic influence; grammatical accuracy; placement of adjectives; semantic markers; dimensional adjectives; learner language; second language acquisition; experimental elicitation; performance analysis.;

    Abstract : In the present study, the linguistic performance of 11 Swedish high-school students of Spanish as second language (L2)/foreign language (FL) of 3 different levels, between 16-18 years old, has been measured through analysis of experimental elicited speech samples from a picture description task, designed to elicit placement of adjectives and dimensional adjectives in Spanish. The task provided 3 images with phrases in the source language and the participants were asked to translate it into the target language (TL). READ MORE

  6. 5. Cross-lingual and Multilingual Automatic Speech Recognition for Scandinavian Languages

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Rafal Černiavski; [2022]
    Keywords : cross-lingual; multilingual; automatic speech recognition; ASR;

    Abstract : Research into Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), the task of transforming speech into text, remains highly relevant due to its countless applications in industry and academia. State-of-the-art ASR models are able to produce nearly perfect, sometimes referred to as human-like transcriptions; however, accurate ASR models are most often available only in high-resource languages.
