In this article we present a comparative study in which analyzed teacher questions two different languages of instruction, namely, English-medium instruction (EMI) and Basque-medium (BMI) classes at university. For purpose, videotaped teachers who delivered 29 lessons forming corpus 39 h recording. The tool used for classroom observations the analysis was Communicative Orientation Language Teac...

The relations between the acoustic parameters of jitter and fundamental frequency and children’s experience with stuttering were explored. Sixty-five children belonging to four talker groups will be studied. Children were categorized as stuttering (CWS) or non-stuttering (CWNS), and were grouped based on their diagnosis of stuttering/not stuttering at two time points in a longitudinal study: pe...

An outline of the language policy of the Royal Society leads to the hypotheses that it contributed to the development of a new linguistic profile and a homogeneous linguistic structure of scientific texts in the second half of the 17th century. These hypotheses are empirically tested on a corpus of ca. 76,000 words, which consists in equal parts of texts from the first and the second half of th...

This paper describes experiments to use non-terminological information to find attitudinal expressions in written English text. The experiments are based on an analysis of text with respect to not only the vocabulary of content terms present in it (which most other approaches use as a basis for analysis) but also on structural features of the text as represented by presence of form words (in ot...

Introduction As social-distancing mandates in response to COVID-19 restricted in-person data collection methods such as participant observation and interviews, researchers turned socially distant interviewing via video-conferencing technology (Lobe et al.). These were not new tools nor methods, but the pandemic muted any bias towards face-to-face methods. Exemplified crowd-sourced documents Doi...

away from the surface realization. In order to achieve such a morphological analysis, a morphological analyzer needs to be implemented which can handle the long distance dependencies and the phonological rules that apply. Such a morphological analyzer was implemented using the Xerox finite-state technology tools xfst and lexc (Beesley & Karttunen 2003). This system has been used because it offe...

In Arvaniti and Joseph (2000) we studied the variability in the pronunciation of the Greek phones spelled mp, nt, gg/gk, which in speech are said to consist of a nasal consonant, e.g., m, and a “voiced” stop consonant, e.g., b. Our data showed that the presence of the nasal depended largely on age, with younger speakers producing many more nasalless instances of these phones than older speakers...

The present contribution is a tutorial on selected aspects of prosody, the rhythms and melodies of speech, based on a course of the same name at the Summer School on Contemporary Phonetics and Phonology at Tongji University, Shanghai, China in July 2016. The tutorial is not intended as an introduction to experimental methodology or as an overview of the literature on the topic, but as an outlin...
