Am. (19791] a vowel effect on the identification of voiceless Spanish fricatives [f, s, ∫] in transitionless syllables was observed. The present experiment was conducted to determine whether the lexical-semantic value of words neutralized the vowel effect just described. The test material consisted of two sets of six words each recorded by a male Spanish-speaker. The initial syllables which were one of the following: [so, su, fi, fe, ∫o, ∫u;], were gated out and replaced by the transitionless syllables previously mentioned by tape-splicing technique. Words in the first set allowed two alternatives: e.g. “suma” [suma] ‘he sums’/ “fuma” [fuma] ‘he smokes,’ words in the second set allowed no choice: e.g., “lluvia” [∫uβia] ‘rain.’ The results showed that the vowel effect is apparent when the phonetic percept evoked by this effect follows a lexical possibility, while it disappears when the phonetic percept competes with word identification. These data gives evidence of the level interaction in the speech perception process.

Desde los 90, en el medio de una de las más dramáticas crisis económicas, los excluidos luchan por encontrar nuevas identidades, y así el discurso político Sordo (DPS) emerge. El discurso de las ciencias sociales y sus prácticas llevan a la legitimación de la Lengua de Señas Argentina (LSA) y los lingüistas funcionamos como investigadores orgánicos. Las personas Sordas empiezan a convertirse en letrados a través del uso de las nuevas tecnologías y fuera de la escuela formal. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la jerarquización de la información desde la Lingüística Funcional y el Análisis del Discurso en un corpus recolectado en el 2007. El análisis de los temas y los remas mostrará los objetivos y los contenidos que el DPS tira en la arena de la lucha sociopolítica.

It was observed that [s] spectrally peaks around 5000 and 8000 Hx, [formula: see text] around 2500 and 5000 Hz, [f] around 1500 and 8500 Hz, [x] around 1000 and 4000 Hz and [ç] around 2000 and 4000 Hz. The perceptual importance of each of these spectral peaks was determined by filtering and synthesis experiments. With regard to the voice fricatives: [beta, ŏ, Y, Y, 3] the analysis showed periodic components with an F1 of similar frequency and a variable F2. Noise components with an F1 of similar frequency and a variable F2. Noise components were principally observed in [3]. Voiced fricatives proved to be shorter than voiceless ones. The analysis of fricatives in consonant-vowel syllables suggested that both the friction and vocalic portions may provide relevant acoustic cues. Tape-splicing experiments, designed to test this observation, showed that except for [x] and [Y], all Spanish fricatives were accurately identified by the friction portion alone. However, it was also observed that in transitionless syllables the vocalic portion affected the phonetic identification of the friction portion. This phenomenon pointed to the perceptual relevance of the transition in some combinations of fricatives and vowels.

Four right-handed monolingual Spanish-speaking patients who developed a foreign accent syndrome (... more Four right-handed monolingual Spanish-speaking patients who developed a foreign accent syndrome (FAS) during the recovery period from a non-fluent aphasia or an aphemia are reported. The FAS resolved rapidly (within 2 months) in two patients, both with small stroke lesions in the posterior margin of the left middle frontal gyrus. In the other two patients, who had lesions involving the

Aun aquellas investigaciones que trataron aspectos de la macroestructura del discurso (Baker, 1976, 1977; Baker y Padden, 1978; Wilbur y Pettito, 1983; etc.) focalizaron su atencion en aspectos como toma de turnos, funciones linguisticas de los rasgos no manuales y limites oracionales.
