Past, present and future: Computational approaches to mapping historical Irish cognate verb forms
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Linguistic Speech & Comm Sci. C.L.C.S., 2019)This thesis investigates how computational methods can be employed to enhance our understanding of the significant developments in the verbal system between Old Irish (c. 8th?9th centuries A.D.) and Modern Irish (13th ... -
Peak timing in two dialects of Connaught Irish
(2005)A comparison of the peak location in nuclear and initial prenuclear accents was carried out for two closely related dialects of Connaught Irish: Cois Fharraige and Inis Oirr. This was done across conditions where the number ... -
Perceived loudness and voice quality in affect cueing
(2009)The paper describes an auditory experiment aimed at testing whether the intrinsic loudness of a stimulus with a given voice quality influences the way in which it signals affect. Synthesised voice quality stimuli in which ... -
Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence
(2016)paper describes listening tests investigating the perceptual role of voice source parameters (other than F0) in signaling focal prominence. Synthesized stimuli were constructed on the basis of an inverse filtered utterance ... -
Phonetic feature extraction for context-sensitive glottal source processing
(2014)The effectiveness of glottal source analysis is known to be dependent on the phonetic properties of its concomitant supraglottal features. Phonetic classes like nasals and fricatives are particularly problematic. Their ... -
Pitch range declination and reset in turn-taking organisation
(2014)This paper examines how pitch range declination and reset contribute to turn-taking organisation. This is part of a broader study of voice prosody, i.e., how pitch, voice quality and temporal features combine for various ... -
Potential of the Centre for Deaf Studies (CDS): its role in enhancing social justice for the Deaf community: a personal observation
(2005)The establishment of the Centre for Deaf Studies at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, is justifiably regarded as a milestone in the history of the Deaf community. The paper briefly examines the general perception ... -
Practical challenges in polylexical metronome synchronisation: inadvertent conditioning of participant responses in two successive experiments on P-centre location
(2020)A metronome synchronisation paradigm was used to investigate possible interaction between P(erceptual)-centre location and initial mutation in Irish (Gaelic). A pilot study returned promising results in a subset of stimuli. ... -
Predicting dual-language literacy attainment in Irish-English bilinguals: language-specific and language-universal contributions
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Linguistic Speech & Comm Sci. C.L.C.S., 2021)This thesis focuses on dual-language literacy attainment and has three main aims. The first is to examine various predictors of early literacy attainment in Irish and English – phonemic awareness, rapid automatised naming ... -
Prevalence and risk factors for choking in adults with intellectual disability: Results from a national cross sectional study
(2020)Background: Choking is a serious and under-recognized condition for adults with Intellectual Disability(ID), with health, psychological and potentially fatal consequences. This study aims to determine the prevalence of ... -

The Prevalence of Oral Stage Dysphagia in adults presenting with Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2018)Objective: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are the most commonly experienced non-dental orofacial pain disorders, with pain and dysfunction potentially resulting in oral stage dysphagia (OD). However, limited research ... -
The Prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia in adults presenting with temporomandibular disorders and rheumatoid arthritis: Systematic review and meta analysis

The Prevalence of Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Adults Presenting with Temporomandibular Disorders Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2017)Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are the most frequent non-dental orofacial pain disorders and may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), resulting in oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). However, clinicians’ understanding ...
