orthognathic surgery to address issues with mastication, esthetics, and speech. Speech …

In contemporary spoken English,/s/can resemble a post-alveolar fricative when it occurs
in/str/clusters eg street./s/-retraction in/str/is known to be widespread in North American …

Means of characterizing acoustic signals of fricatives with a few parameters have long been
sought. When Forrest, Weismer, Milenkovic, and Dougall [(1988) J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 84, 115 …

Previous research has extensively investigated the spectral properties of sibilant fricatives
with little consideration to how these properties vary over time. To investigate such spectro …

The study explored whether an asymmetric phonetic overlap between speech sounds could
be turned into sound change through propagation around a community of speakers. The …

Purpose This study examines whether there are differences in the speech of speakers with
dysarthria, speakers with apraxia and healthy speakers in spectral acoustic measures …

The present study investigates patterns of covariation among acoustic properties of stop
consonants in a large multi-talker corpus of American English connected speech. Relations …

In line with a growing body of literature suggesting that mergers are reversible given the
adequate dialect contact and social context, the present study examines the phonetic split of …

This study investigates the effect of age and gender on the internal structure, cross-category
distance, and discriminability of phonemic categories for two contrasts varying in fricative …

A major hurdle in data-driven research on typology is having sufficient data in many
languages to draw meaningful conclusions. We present VoxClamantis v1. 0, the first large …
