Ultrasound tongue imaging is becoming popular as a tool for both phonetic research and
biofeedback for treating speech sound disorders. Despite this, it has not yet been adopted …

Until at least the end of adolescence, children articulate speech differently than adults. While
this discrepancy is often attributed to the maturation of the speech motor system, we sought …

Purpose: Sign language, like spoken language, incorporates phonological and articulatory
(or motor) processing components. Thus, the learning of novel signs, like novel spoken word …

Purpose: One of the strategies that can be used to support speech communication in deaf
children is cued speech, a visual code in which manual gestures are used as additional …

This study is the first to use kinematic data to assess lingual carryover coarticulation in
children. We investigated whether the developmental decrease previously attested in …

Purpose: Coarticulatory effects in speech vary across development, but the sources of this
variation remain unclear. This study investigated whether developmental differences in …

Ultrasound imaging of the tongue is biased by the probe movements relative to the
speaker's head. Two common remedies are restricting or algorithmically compensating for …

Rhotic sounds are some of the most challenging sounds for L2 learners to acquire. This
study investigates the production of English rhotic sounds by Mandarin–English bilinguals …

In the first years of life, children differ greatly from adults in the temporal organization of their
speech gestures in fluent language production. However, dissent remains as to the …

Rhotic sounds are well known for their considerable phonetic variation within and across
languages and their complexity in speech production. Although rhotics in many languages …
