Spell new sounds with new letters : A study of how Swedish L2 learners’ spelling is affected by their L1

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The current study examines whether there is a connection between Swedish L2 students' L1 and their spelling in Swedish.The data were collected through a spelling test conducted at SFI course levels C and D. The experiment was conducted in an urban area in Småland in three groups consisting of 37 course participants with 12 different L1s. People with Arabic as their L1 are the focus of the study due to the selection. The results show that the spelling mistakes could to some extent be explained by the Arabic phoneme set. For example, consonant pairs were confused to a greater extent when one of the consonants was not in Arabic (i.e. p/b, k/g, v/f) than when both consonants in the pair are in Arabic (i.e. t/d, r/l). A comparison was also made between the total number of spelling errors among the participants with an L1 written in the Latin alphabet (i.e. the same as Swedish) and those with an L1written in a different writing system. The results showed that more vowel errors were made among those who used a written language other than the Latin alphabet. However, the two groups made an equal proportion of consonant errors.

Creaky voice in South Swedish accent 1
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of Fonetik 2022 : Fonetik 2022 - the XXXIIIrd Swedish Phonetics Conference - Fonetik 2022 - the XXXIIIrd Swedish Phonetics Conference. - 0282-6690. ; :XXXIII

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Pitch and voice quality are increasingly understood as closelyintertwined. While Swedish and Norwegian word accents have traditionally been understood in terms of pitch, Danish stød, which is systematically related when it comes to distribution and function, has been described as a type of creaky voice. According to the Laryngeal Articulator Model (LAM), both pitch lowering and creaky or harsh voice can be the acoustic outcomes of tightening the laryngeal constrictor mechanism. Laryngeal constriction has been proposed as the articulatory gesture behind word accents and stød. The present study investigated creaky voice in South Swedish word accents. Harmonics-to-noise ratio was significantly lower and jitter significantly higher in accent 1 compared to accent 2 stressed vowels. Further, jitter and shimmer was higher and spectral tilt was lower in sonorant consonants following stressed vowels. The results suggest that prototypical creaky voice is another cue to accent 1 in South Swedish and is in line with proposals that pitch falls in word accents correspond to laryngeal constriction.

Prosodic boundaries and discourse structure in Kammu
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Proceedings from FONETIK 2014 Stockholm, June 9-11, 2014 (Perilus 24). - 0282-6690. - 9789163756627 - 9789163756634 ; , s. 71-76

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The main function of sentence intonation in Kammu is to mark prosodic boundaries. There is no additional tonal marking of focus. It is of particular in- terest that the underlying intonation system is the same for both tonal (Northern Kammu) and non-tonal (Eastern Kammu) dialects. Prosodic boundaries in Kammu have three func- tions: they mark prosodic phrases, focus and speaker engagement. In this study we show that relationships between boundaries in terms of upstepping or its absence interact with information and discourse structure. This relationship has the same pattern in both tonal and non-tonal Kammu.

Phonetic and Phonological Variation in Vowel Discrimination Performance : Effect of Swedish Vowel Categories and Dialects
- 2022

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Acoustic discrimination of speech sounds is affected by various factors, ranging from more universal acoustic properties of categories to the phoneme systems of the native language and dialect, and even influences from languages learned later in life. A discrimination experiment containing East Central Swedish vowels was carried out with 30 native Swedish listeners in order to explore the variation in vowel discrimination performance. Both phonetic and phonological variables have been found to have an effect on discrimination performance. Peripheral location of vowels in the F1/F2 vowel space was found to increase the discrimination performance. South Swedish dialectal area was associated with a decreased discrimination performance. Continuous exposure to foreign languages otherthan English was not a significant factor.

Money Talks: The Power of Voice : A critical review of Mayew and Ventachalam’s The Power of Voice: Managerial Affective States and Future Firm Performance
- 2012
-
Ingår i: PERILUS. - Stockholm : Stockholm University. - 0282-6690. ; , s. 1-10

Recension (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This paper argues that the results presented by Mayew and Venkatachalam in “The Power of Voice: Managerial Affective States and Future Firm Performance” (Mayew & Venkatachalam, 2011) are void because the authors used an irrelevant technology (LVA technology, Nemesysco) that cannot measure emotions conveyed by voice and therefore does not produce valid results. The paper explains why LVA technology cannot work for this problem and suggests that subscribing to this methodology damages the reputation of finance and banking research. The authors are encouraged to reanalyze their speech materials using appropriate scientific methods to measure meaningful acoustic correlates of emotions conveyed by speakers’ voices.

The time course of onset CV coarticulation

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study investigates the center of gravity in onset fricatives as a main acoustic feature to assess the relation between vowel pronunciation and coarticulatory spectral characteristics of the onset consonant. /s/- and /f/-initial CV sequences were analyzed with backness, roundedness and height of the vowel as predictors of fricative center of gravity. Results showed that the first 15 ms of an onset fricative could carry predictive cues to the upcoming vowel.

Analysis of text-reading speech produced by Japanese primary school children (age 6-12): Focus on Topic-Comment structure
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Japanese primary school children (ages 6-12) text-reading speech is analyzed. The reading time indicates that reading aloud fluency develops in two steps: between grades 1-2 and 3-4. Most children insert a pause after the topic particle wa, regardless of punctuation, which agrees with previously reported adult performance. In contrast, the intonation captured as F0 peak relation between Topic and Comment changes constantly along with the primary school years and is still far from those produced by adults.
