Prosody conveys information about the linguistic context of an utterance at every level of
linguistic organisation, from the word up to the discourse context. Acoustic correlates of …

Prosodic structure has been assumed to serve as a frame for articulation, so that phonetic
sha** of abstract phonological representations is fine‐tuned as a function of the prosodic …

Previous research has shown that in languages like English, the implementation of voicing
in voiced obstruents is affected by linguistic factors such as utterance position, stress, and …

This article provides an overview of the research concerning the nature of the distinct,
listener‐oriented speaking style called 'clear speech'and its effect on intelligibility for various …

This study investigates effects of three prosodic factors—prosodic boundary (Utterance-
initial vs. Utterance-medial), lexical stress (primary vs. secondary) and phrasal accent …

Despite the greatly improved understanding of tonal articulation in Standard Chinese, no
consensus has been reached on the most appropriate model of tonal implementation [Xu …

Prosodic influences on phonetic realizations of four Dutch consonants (/tdsz/) were
examined. Sentences were constructed containing these consonants in word-initial position; …

Typically, the point vowels [i, ɑ, u] are acoustically more peripheral in infant-directed speech
(IDS) compared to adult-directed speech (ADS). If caregivers seek to highlight lexically …

Infant directed speech (IDS) is a speech register characterized by simpler sentences, a
slower rate, and more variable prosody. Recent work has implicated it in more subtle …

Over the first year of life, infant perception changes radically as the child learns the
