Exempel på talker

• Nevertheless, the acoustic-phonetic structure of some of the vowels differed across the generations represented by the talkers.

• Because there is a relatively small extant literature on precocious talkers, we took the preliminary step of verifying parent-reported precocity.

• The younger talkers tended to produce vowels that showed the length contrast less clearly than the older talkers.

• The younger talkers do not contrast long and short vowels as clearly as the older talkers do.

• Consequently, investigators have attempted to define more clearly the factors that may identify late talkers who will present with persistent difficulties later in life.

• The six resulting scores (two editing conditions x 3 blocks) were each based on 24 forced-choice judgments (6 stops x 2 talkers x 2 repetitions).

• Moreover, these results are not due simply to the background characteristics of talkers.

• Many late talkers have age-adequate receptive language, but some have delays in both receptive and expressive language.

• The late talkers in this sample were also delayed in their ability to use propositional complements.

• Rather, the late bloomers' use of cognitive terms mirrored that of the whole late talker group.

• He found that performance was better when the talkers and listeners shared a dialect than when the talkers and listeners were from different dialect regions.

• Neither time nor the scaffolding condition enabled the late talkers to narrow the gap between their narrative skills and those of the comparison peers.

• The second phase was identical to the first, except that the listeners heard all of the talkers reading the second calibration sentence.

• In the third phase, the listeners heard each of the talkers reading a different, novel sentence.

• Because speaking rate influences the absolute durations of vowels, long to short vowel ratios were calculated for each talker.
