A growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to rhythmic auditory patterns can modulate the processing of subsequently heard speech, at various levels of processing. In the current study, we aimed to test whether this effect, known as rhythmic …
In this contribution, we present the results of a pilot study on the impact of rhythmic priming, i.e. listening to rhythmic auditory stimuli, on speech production in Parkinson’s disease. We were interested in prosody, which is one of the aspects often reported to be strongly impaired in Parkinson’s disease.
Research on the impact of gestures as corrective feedback on the pronunciation of learners of French as a foreign language, as per the verbotonal method.
This thesis is a study of the prosodic interlanguage of students of English as a foreign language whose native language is French or Spanish. It is organized in two main parts. The first part is a study of the methods of conception and representation …
Nous avons appliqué l’algorithme Momel (Hirst & Espesser, 1993) et l’étiquetage automatique Intsint à un corpus d’énoncés produits par des natifs anglophones déjà transcrit en ToBI (Beckman & Ayers, 1997) afin d’observer les équivalences entre les …
We propose a conversion method between the ToBI system of transcription for Spanish (Sp_ToBI) and French (F_ToBI), and the INTSINT system. The aim of this proposal is to serve as a framework for the analysis of the interlanguage prosody of learners …
Exploratory phonetic analysis of the interlanguage (IL) prosody of learners of English whose native language (L1) is Chilean Spanish or metropolitan French. Regularities and differences are described concerning the realization of focus by learners …
