This study addresses a key question in developmental cognitive neuroscience by identifying early neural correlates of variability in language learning and showing how syllable tracking and word ...

It has been long held that languages of the world are divided into rhythm classes so that they are either stress-timed, syllable-timed or mora-timed. It is also known for a long time that duration ...

Syllables are important building blocks of speech. They occur at a rate between 4 and 8 Hz, corresponding to the theta frequency range of neural activity in the cerebral cortex. When listening to ...

Abstract: The definition, characteristics, categories, curve of the evolution of buzzwords and three methods of extracting buzzwords are discussed in the DCC dynamic circulation corpus. The buzzword ...

It seems trivial to identify sound sequences as music or speech, particularly when the sequences come from different sound sources, such as an orchestra and a human voice. Can we also easily ...

Pinyin is a phonological encoding system used to spell modern Chinese Mandarin due to the phonological opacity of Chinese characters. The present study examined the role of Pinyin spelling in the ...

Abstract: Word segmentation is the very first task for Vietnamese language processing. Word-segmented text is the input of almost other NLP tasks. This task faces some challenges due to specific ...

Neural sequences are a fundamental feature of brain dynamics underlying diverse behaviours, but the mechanisms by which they develop during learning remain unknown. Songbirds learn vocalizations ...
