1. 1. Examining the Influence of Disfluencies on Reaction Time : An Exploratory Study Investigating the Impact of Entropy in Language

   Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Författare :Alexander Jansson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Linguistics; Disfluency; Cognitive Science; Reaction Time; Hyponomy; Attention; Entropy;

   Sammanfattning : The current study aimed to investigate the effects of disfluencies, specifically filled pauses (FP) and unfilled pauses (UP), on reaction time (RT) to target words and hyponyms of target hypernyms(targets = target words + hyponyms of target hypernyms). Two experiments were conducted, withthe first experiment examining the impact of disfluencies on RTs to target words in utterances, whilethe second experiment explored their effect on hyponyms of target hypernyms.

3. 2. Speech Fluency and Ageing

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för lingvistik och kognitiv semiotik; Lunds universitet/Allmän språkvetenskap

   Författare :Harry Polfeldt; [2022]
   Nyckelord :fluency; age; ageing; aging; linguistics; language; disfluencies; disfluency; dysfluency; dysfluencies; speech; error; errors; psycholinguistics; pause; pauses; repetition; repetitions; lengthening; lengthenings; prolongation; prolongations; swedish; interruption; interruptions; filled; unfilled; unfilled pause; unfilled pauses; filled pause; filled pauses; speech error; speech errors; speech fluency; Languages and Literatures;

   Sammanfattning : Several physiological changes in the speech production process in old age have been documented, yet studies of cognitive changes are few and inconclusive. The current study investigates changes in rates of disfluencies, rates of speech errors and speech rate to examine if speech fluency changes throughout the adult lifespan, as well as whether the influence of task complexity on fluency remains constant regardless of the age of the speaker.

4. 3. HVAÐ ER LETI? A PHONETIC ANALYSIS OF LENITION IN MODERN, COLLOQUIAL ICELANDIC

   Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

   Författare :Caroline Brekkan; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Lenition; Icelandic; colloquial speech; Optimality Theory OT ; voiced fricatives;

5. 4. Kan stamningsbeteenden hos förskolebarn predicera om stamning blir bestående eller övergående? : En explorativ studie

   Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Blom Johansson: Logopedi

   Författare :Rebecca Wik; Ellen Forsgren; [2021]
   Nyckelord :stamning; prediktion; förskolebarn; icke-flyt; övergående; bestående;

   Sammanfattning : Stamning debuterar vanligtvis i förskoleåldern. En majoritet av barnen slutar spontant att stamma medan andra barn får bestående stamning. Forskare har länge försökt identifiera faktorer som kan predicera om stamning blir bestående eller övergående, bland annat genom att undersöka stamningsbeteenden nära stamningsdebuten. LÄS MER

7. 5. Screaming yellow: An exploratory study of how speakers gesture and speak about colour and colour theory

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap

   Författare :Thit Leonora Amsen; [2019]
   Nyckelord :gesture; colour; abstract content; metaphor; Languages and Literatures;

   Sammanfattning : The abstract subject of colour is a widely studied subject in spoken languages. However, very little is known about colour in relation to gesture. A substantial part of the literature on gesture and abstract content is concerned with referential gestures and especially metaphorical mapping. LÄS MER
