research papers on spoken language

The creation of speech databases for spoken language research and development, especially for less-resourced languages, is a time-consuming and largely manual task. ... In this paper, a detailed review of the spoken language identification has been given which can help in understanding various aspects, features and challenges of these systems ...

Using a global analysis of 6,511 spoken languages with 51 predictor variables spanning aspects of population, documentation, legal recognition, education policy, socioeconomic indicators and ...

Yet, even for a journal far ahead of its time in terms of diversity in topics and authorship, Best and Everett (2010) reported that within the early part of the current century, the majority of papers appearing in JCCP came from U.S. based researchers and/or from English-speaking countries. Although the IACCP has certainly done a lot to advance cross-cultural psychology through "exclusively ...

Abstract. Drawing on research studies in (socio)linguistics, discourse analysis, and literacy, this paper provides a synthesis of findings about lexical and syntactico-semantic differences between spokken and written language, focusing on empirical research on the English language since the 1920s. The major theoretical and methodological ...

Teachers use spoken language to assess learning (Petersen et al., ... Only English language papers were included, thereby potentially narrowing its scope. The age-related selection criteria potentially created issues with the interpretation of review findings as distinctions between early-years and more formal education vary in different ...

Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) aims to extract the semantics frame of user queries, which is a core component in a task-oriented dialog system. With the burst of deep neural networks and the evolution of pre-trained language models, the research of SLU has obtained significant breakthroughs. However, there remains a lack of a comprehensive survey summarizing existing approaches and recent ...

1 Language Testing Research Centre, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia; 2 Department of Linguistics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, United States; This paper provides a narrative review of empirical research on the assessment of speaking proficiency published in selected journals in the field of language assessment.

Spoken language learning is the process of acquiring the ability to communicate verbally in a new language. It involves developing skills such as listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and discourse [].Spoken language learning can be accomplished through diverse methods, including formal instruction, self-study, immersion, interaction, and technology.

Abstract. This paper traces the changing perceptions of language in sociolinguistics. These perceptions of language are reviewed in terms of language in its verbal forms, and language in vis-à ...

To coordinate spoken language with a robot's physical gestures and motion, synthesizers must need to be able to output sync points and to support fine-grained timing control. Recommendation 14. Develop speech generators that support multimodal interaction. Robots are embodied and multimodal.

However, a small body of research suggests that both adults and children may have difficulty using dialect features that are present in one dialect but not the other as cues in spoken language comprehension (Bühler, Reference Bühler 2017; Beyer et al., Reference Beyer, Edwards and Fuller 2015; De Villiers & Johnson, Reference De Villiers and ...

2013. TLDR. The Production-Distribution-Comprehension account links work in the fields of language production, typology, and comprehension so that key aspects of comprehension behavior are tied to lexico-syntactic statistics in the language, which derive from utterance planning biases promoting production of comparatively easy utterance forms ...

The six branches of Afro-Asiatic are Semitic, Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Omotic, and Egyptian. The Semitic branch has 78 languages, including Arabic, the first language of up to 300 million throughout North Africa and widely spoken in the Middle East. Among the world's languages, Arabic ranks fourth in the number of speakers.

Differences in speech prosody are a widely observed feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, it is unclear how prosodic differences in ASD manifest across different languages that demonstrate cross-linguistic variability in prosody. Using a supervised machine-learning analytic approach, we examined acoustic features relevant to rhythmic and intonational aspects of prosody derived ...

Abstract and Figures. The process of detecting language from an audio clip by an unknown speaker, regardless of gender, manner of speaking, and distinct age speaker, is defined as spoken language ...

There are various projects like SignAloud, Kinect Sign Language Translator, SignAll, and MotionSavvy, translating the signed words or sentences to spoken language. However, in this paper, we will review only the research papers which deal with text/Voice to sign language translation. 1.1 Motivation for work

Research on the exploitation of prosodic information in the comprehension of spoken language is reviewed. The research falls into three main areas: the use of prosody in the recognition of spoken words, in which most attention has been paid to the question of whether the prosodic structure of a word plays a role in initial activation of stored lexical representations; the use of prosody in the ...

A persistent and serious delay in the acquisition of language skills in the absence of other developmental, health, or mental health conditions goes by many names: spoken language disorder, primary, or specific language impairment (SLI). SLI indicates that though the language disorder is the most relevant finding, associated conditions, may ...

As the core part of man-machine dialogue system, oral comprehension model is the focus and difficulty of research. This paper proposes an spoken language understanding method based on deep learning. The test results show that this method can significantly improve the accuracy and F1 value and has high practical value.

This work focuses on improving the Spoken Language Identification (LangId) system for a challenge that focuses on developing robust language identification systems that are reliable for non-standard, accented (Singaporean accent), spontaneous code-switched, and child-directed speech collected via Zoom. 1. Paper.

Spoken Language Identification (SLID) aims at assigning language labels to speech in an audio file. This paper proposes an approach based on Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) for the automatic identification of four Indian languages, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil and Telugu. The classifier is trained on audio data of 5 hours duration, from each of the four languages. The CNN operates on MFCC ...

In two papers looking at LLM use in scientific publishings, Zou and his team* found that 17.5% of computer science papers and 16.9% of peer review text had at least some content drafted by AI. The paper on LLM usage in peer reviews will be presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning.

The body of literature on English Language Teaching (ELT) research is increasing, but there is a paucity of bibliometric studies in this field. ... received 123 citations, which was reported to be 13.67 citations/per year.
