Roles and representations of systematic fine phonetic detail in speech understanding
TL;DR: It is shown that speech perception does not demand early reference to abstract linguistic units, but instead, to flexible, dynamic organization of multi-modal (and modality-specific) memories; and that models of speech perception should reflect the multi-purpose function of phonetic information, and the polysystemic nature of speech within language.

Chapter 12 – RETRACTED: PHONOLOGICAL RHYTHM: DEFINITION AND DEVELOPMENT
George D. Allen,Sarah Hawkins +1 more
TL;DR: The phonological rhythm is a form of structure that plays an organizing role in speech as discussed by the authors, and some processes play a more dominant role than others in defining what is commonly felt to be the rhythm of a phrase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formant frequencies of RP monophthongs in four age groups of speakers
Sarah Hawkins,Jonathan Midgley +1 more
TL;DR: The authors describe the frequencies of the first two formants of monophthongs produced by male RP speakers in four age groups: aged 20-25, 35-40, 50-55, and 65-73 years in 2001.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the male voice at puberty
TL;DR: Voice fundamental frequencies correlate with testis volume, but not testosterone levels, and there is a clear relation between the Tanner stages and a Cooksey musical classification during male puberty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic and perceptual correlates of the non-nasal--nasal distinction for vowels.
Sarah Hawkins,Kenneth N. Stevens +1 more
TL;DR: It is postulated that there is a basic acoustic property of nasality, independent of the vowel, to which the auditory system responds in a distinctive way regardless of language background and there are one or more additional acoustic properties that may be used to various degrees in different languages to enhance the contrast between a nasal vowel and its non-nasal congener.
