Adam J. Royer – ProQuest LLC, 2021
When a subject NP has a singular head noun and a plural noun in some lower syntactic phrase (i.e. local noun), occasionally a plural verb will be produced in a sentence (i.e., agreement attraction) (Bock 1991,Bock et al. 2001). Evidence from production (Eberhard 2005) and comprehension (Badecker 2007, Wagers 2009) studies have conflicting accounts…

Romøren, Anna Sara H.; Chen, Aoju – Journal of Child Language, 2022
We investigated how Central Swedish-speaking four to eleven-year-old children acquire the prosodic marking of narrow focus, compared to adult controls. Three measurements were analysed: placement of the prominence-marking high tone (prominence H), pitch range effects of the prominence H, and word duration. Subject-verb-object sentences were…

Wade-Woolley, Lesly; Wood, Clare; Chan, Jessica; Weidman, Sarah – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Referring to the "vital parts" of speech that do not appear in print, E. B. Huey (1908/1968) described prosody in reading as "the rise and fall of pitch and inflection, the hurrying here and slowing there, what we have called the melody of speech." In this paper, we discuss the role prosody plays in reading, contextualized in…

Springer, D. Gregory; Schlegel, Amanda L.; Lewis, Andrew J. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of timbral instructions on pitch and timbre production. High school (n = 28) and collegiate (n = 28) trumpeters played sustained tones at two octave levels (written C4 and C5) following three types of timbral instructions (dark-timbre, bright-timbre, or neutral instructions). Presentation orders…

Gallena, Sally K.; Pinto, James A. – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2021
Purpose: Vocal fry (VF), a low-pitched, grating voice quality, appears to be trending among young women. Current research lacks consensus of listeners' perceptions associated with VF. This study investigated practicing speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) perceptions of graduate speech-language pathology students who speak with VF. Method:…

Murray, Elizabeth S. Heller; Lupiani, Ashling A.; Kolin, Katharine R.; Segina, Roxanne K.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study details the intended and unintended consequences of pitch shifting with the commercially available Eventide Eclipse. Method: Ten vocally healthy participants (M = 22.0 years; 6 cisgender females, 4 cisgender males) produced a sustained /?/, creating an input signal. This input signal was processed in near real time by the…

Nápoles, Jessica; Springer, D. Gregory; Silvey, Brian A.; Adams, Kari – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2019
In this study, we examined the effects of multiple reference pitch sources on collegiate singers' accuracy in pitch-matching and intonation tasks. We also investigated which reference pitch source participants preferred and for what reasons. Participants (N = 99) sang a two-measure excerpt of "Joseph Dearest, Joseph Mine" after listening…

Emily Rodgers; Jerome V. D'Agostino; Joel R. Levin; Timothy Rasinski – Journal of Research in Reading, 2025
Background: We examine effects on oral reading fluency (defined as automatic word recognition and prosody) when phrase-cued text (defined as marking the phrase boundaries in text) is layered on to readers theatre, an evidence-based instructional format that includes multiple readings over a period of about 5 days as students practice and prepare…

Wolters, Alissa P.; Kim, Young-Suk Grace; Szura, John William – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
We examined the relation between reading prosody and reading comprehension, using a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the strength of the relation and to understand whether the strength of the relation varies by prosody feature (adult-like contour, F0 sentence-final declination, grammatical pauses, ungrammatical pauses, prosody…

Xu Rattanasone, Nan; Yuen, Ivan; Holt, Rebecca; Demuth, Katherine – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Learning to use word versus phrase level prosody to identify compounds from lists is thought to be a protracted process, only acquired by 11 years (Vogel & Raimy, 2002). However, a recent study has shown that 5-year-olds can use prosodic cues other than stress for these two structures in production, at least for early-acquired noun-noun…

Shao, Jing; Bakhtiar, Mehdi; Zhang, Caicai – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Evidence increasingly indicates that people with developmental stuttering have auditory perception deficits. Our previous research has indicated similar but slower performance in categorical perception of the speech sounds under the quiet condition in children who stutter and adults who stutter (AWS) compared with their typically fluent…
