Variations étymologiques sur l'étymon sino-tibétain 'étau, pinces'

Voice assessment practices of speech and language therapists in Ireland
(2019)Evidence supports the need for a multiparametric voice assessment incorporating objective and subjective assessment types. European guidelines and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association recommend a comprehensive ... -
Voice parameter dynamics in portrayed emotions
(Firenze University Press, 2009)This paper is concerned with voice source variation associated with different emotional portrayals of an utterance: bored, sad, happy, surprised, angry and neutral. The source analyses involved pulse-by-pulse inverse ... -
The voice prominence hypothesis: the interplay of F0 and voice source features in accentuation
(2013)This paper explores the interplay of source correlates of accentuation, examining a hypothesis (the Voice Prominence Hypothesis) that different source parameters are involved and may serve as equivalent. It predicts that ... -
Voice quality and f0 cues for affect expression: implications for synthesis
(2005)Synthesised stimuli were used to investigate how two notionally separable dimensions of tone-of-voice ? voice quality and fundamental frequency ? are involved in the expression of affect. Listeners were presented with ... -
Voice quality and f0 in prosody: towards a holistic account
(2004)This paper presents a discussion of the role of voice quality in prosody. Illustrations from past production and perception data by the authors indicate that source parameters other than f0 are an inherent part of ... -
Voice quality and loudness in affect perception
(2008)Different voice qualities tend to vary in terms of their intrinsic loudness. Perceptual experiments have shown that voice quality variation can be strongly associated with the affective colouring of an utterance. The ... -
Voice quality in affect cueing: does loudness matter?
(2013)In emotional speech research, it has been suggested that loudness, along with other prosodic features, may be an important cue in communicating high activation affects. In earlier studies, we found different voice quality ... -
Voice Quality Variation and the Perception of Affect: Continuous or Categorical?
(2003)This paper explores the mapping of voice quality to affect, for a synthesised tense ? lax voice continuum. Two questions are of interest. Firstly, over such a continuum, do listeners? attributions of affect change in a ... -
Voice source dynamics in intonation
(2011)A qualitative analysis of voice source dynamics is presented for utterances varying in focal place- ment, with falling (F) and rising (R) pitch. Source parameters, F0, EE, UP, RG, OQ and RD were obtained by manual ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
(2017)Modulations of the voice convey affect, and the precise mapping of voice-to-affect may vary for different languages. However, affect-related modulations occur relative to the baseline affect-neutral voice, which tends to ... -
Who decides? Language education policies for Deaf children - Selected findings from a comparative analysis of Finnish and Irish policies on signed languages.
(2015)This chapter offers a comparative analysis of language education policies (LEP) for Deaf children in Finland and Ireland. In order to discuss the topic we touch on six main components. These six components are selected on ... -
Word families, allofams, and the comparative method
(2019)Linguists researching the Trans-Himalayan family do not have a self-perception as working outside the mainstream of historical linguistics, but ‘word families’ and ‘allofams’ are important elements in their thinking despite ... -
Wug-testing phonetic prominence in Munster Irish
(2021)8 speakers of Munster Irish were presented with a series of disyllabic nonwords and directed to read them aloud in a carrier phrase. Each nonword corresponded to a different pairing of syllable weights (e.g. light-heavy, ...
