1. Trilingual spoken word recognition : Interlingual competition from one or two non-target languages in a sentence context
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Centrum för tvåspråkighetsforskningAbstract : Persistent non-target language co-activation in spoken and visual language comprehension has been found both at the word-level and at the level of a sentence, although in the latter case, sentence bias has been observed to modulate the co-activation which can create lexical competition. In the case of trilingual speakers, both non-target languages may potentially compete with the third language (L3). READ MORE

2. The role of word accents in semantic processing in South Swedish
University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/FonetikAbstract : 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

3. 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/FonetikAbstract : 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

4. Words have power: Speech recognition in interactive jewelry : a case study with newcome LGBT+ immigrants
University essay from Södertörns högskola/MedieteknikAbstract : This paper addresses a design exploration focusing on interactive jewelry conducted with newcome LGBT+ immigrants in Sweden, leading to a necklace named PoWo that is “powered” by the spoken word through a mobile application that reacts to customizable keywords triggering LED-lights in the necklace. Interactive jewelry is in this paper viewed as a medium with a simultaneous relation to wearer and spectator thus affording use on the themes of symbolism, emotion, body and communication. READ MORE

5. Effects of Suprasegmental Features on the Processing of Spoken Words in the Human Brain: Evidence from Mismatch Negativity (MMN)
University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskapAbstract : The study reported in the present paper aimed to determine the effect of prosodic cues on automatic word processing in the brain by comparing the mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the event-related potentials (ERP) elicited by isolated words and pseudowords. More specifically, it attempted to explore the influence of changes in certain suprasegmental cues such as fundamental frequency and intensity on the perception of linguistic stress patterns by native speakers of American English.
