Perception of Terminal Fall Contours in Speech Produced by Deaf Persons.

Rubin-Spitz, Judith; McGarr, Nancy S.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n1 p174-80 Mar 1990

Listeners judged whether they heard a terminal fall, rise, or a flat final intonation contour in 9 sentences produced by 8 deaf children, aged 8-18. The more slowly the contour fell, the more likely listeners were to perceive the contour as flat, regardless of the amount by which it fell. (Author/JDD)
