Neural correlates of intonation and lexical tone in tonal and non‐tonal language speakers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24916
Abstract: Intonation, the modulation of pitch in speech, is a crucial aspect of language that is processed in right‐hemispheric regions, beyond the classical left‐hemispheric language system. Whether or not this notion generalises across languages remains, however,… read more here.

Differential contributions of inferior frontal gyrus subregions to sentence processing guided by intonation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26086
Abstract: Auditory sentence comprehension involves processing content (semantics), grammar (syntax), and intonation (prosody). The left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) is involved in sentence comprehension guided by these different cues, with neuroimaging studies preferentially locating syntactic and… read more here.

Movement and vocal intonation together evoke social referencing in companion dogs when confronted with a suspicious stranger

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-020-01401-3
Abstract: Dogs have been claimed to engage in social referencing by responding in a way that corresponded with their owners' reaction in some contexts. We aimed to assess how owners’ actions affect family dogs’ behaviour in… read more here.

The encoding of epistemic operations in two Romance languages: The interplay between intonation and discourse markers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Pragmatics"
DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2020.11.008
Abstract: Abstract For years, linguists have noted that intonation patterns and discourse markers encode similar pragmatic meanings across languages. The present study investigates whether a functional compensatory distribution can be documented across languages by focusing on… read more here.

A CROSSLINGUISTIC STUDY OF THE PERCEPTION OF EMOTIONAL INTONATION

DOI: 10.1017/s0272263120000674
Abstract: Abstract Pitch perception plays a more important role in emotional communication in English than in Korean. Interpreting the semantic aspects of pitch levels therefore presents a challenge for Korean learners of English. This study investigated… read more here.

A Note by Any Other Name: Intonation Context Rapidly Changes Absolute Note Judgments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance"
DOI: 10.1037/xhp0000536
Abstract: Absolute pitch (AP) judgments, by definition, do not require a reference note, and thus might be viewed as context independent. Here, we specifically test whether short-term exposure to particular intonation contexts influences AP categorization on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17549507.2016.1216601
Abstract: Abstract Purpose: This paper examined the production of intonation patterns in children with developmental dysarthria associated with cerebral palsy (CP) prior to and after speech intervention focussing on respiration and phonation. The study further sought… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.4988075
Abstract: The nature of edge intonational contours as well as acoustics of fricatives have generally been independently discussed in the literature (Hughes & Halle 1956; Ladd 1996; Gussenhoven 2004 inter alia). Voiceless consonants were traditionally conceived… read more here.

Abstract: The aim of this study is describe the intonation pattern Simulacrum of Neutral Intonation (SNI), defined as the monotone speech produced by the speakers with a prevalence of rhythm and a flat speech melody. As… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.5014763
Abstract: In a study of intonation in Appalachian English (AE), Greene (2006) suggested that relative frequency and phonetic realization of pitch accents might reflect a stronger regional identity. The present study tests these observations, using rootedness—defined… read more here.

Frequency-following responses elicited by a consonant-vowel with intonation

DOI: 10.1121/1.5068098
Abstract: To date, two major types of acoustic stimuli have been used to evoke frequency-following responses (FFRs) – either by using a consonant-vowel or by using a vowel with intonation, but not both. The goals of… read more here.
