suprasegmental

Examples

• All

• Suprasegmental elements, such as tone and pitch, greatly affect how meaning is conveyed in spoken language.

• Understanding suprasegmental aspects of language helps learners recognize the rhythm and stress patterns in speech.

• Suprasegmental discrimination.

  Academic text (1990)

• It was expected that experience with the segmental and suprasegmental features in the read passage would be superior for perceptual learning compared to the single words, but ultimately both conditions benefited intelligibility to the same degree beyond a control condition.

  Academic text (2012)

• Conversely, limited gains in intelligibility might indicate that children do not adequately recognize the segmental and suprasegmental features of conversational speech via their sensory aids.

  Academic text (2015)

• These studies have examined the source of learning from a segmental versus suprasegmental perspective and have proposed that the perceptual benefits associated with a familiarization experience may occur with improved processing of segmental information.

  Academic text (2012)

• Bearing in mind the multiple segmental and suprasegmental distortions that characterize the dysarthric signal, improved recognition of dysarthric speech presumably involves a number of different processing levels and significant cognitive resources.

  Academic text (2012)

• Furthermore, the few studies that have sought to identify a source of learning (i.e., "what is learnable?") have approached dysarthric speech signal characteristics in terms of segmental versus suprasegmental degradation.

  Academic text (2012)

• A fourth affordance is YouGlisK's capacity to help teachers expose their learners to suprasegmental features (i.e., connected speech, rhythm, linking, prominence, phrasing, stress, intonation).

  Academic text (2018)

• These data can be used to enrich cognitive and computational models of speech production, in particular suprasegmental aspects and the maturational constraints associated with them, and inform clinical decisions when diagnosing and treating lexical stress impairment.
