This paper reports on an optimum dynamic programming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition. First, a general principle of time-normalization is given using timewarping function. Then, two time-normalized distance definitions, ded symmetric and asymmetric forms

cross-linguistic differences in effects of lexical stress

All words of the languages we know are stored in the mental lexicon. Psycholinguistic models describe in which format lexical knowledge is stored and how it is accessed when needed for language use. The present article summarizes key findings in spoken-word recognition by humans and describes how

Spoken word audio collections cover many domains, including radio and television broadcasts, oral narratives, governmental proceedings, lectures, and telephone conversations. The collection, access and preservation of such data is stimulated by political, economic, cultural and educational needs

. abstract words. We found that spoken comprehension of concrete and abstract words appears relatively preserved for healthy older individuals, including the concreteness effect. This preserved performance was supported by altered activity in left hemisphere regions including the inferior and middle frontal

The best available evidence suggests that the human brain, and in particular the human facility for language, was already well developed at least 50,000 years ago. For almost all of the time since then, the spoken word provided the only practical way of using language to share our understanding

Abstract not found

We solve an astounding array of information-processing challenges when we perceive a speaker’s intended message. Apparently effortlessly, we accommodate variability in talker characteristics, dialect, speaking rate, and acoustic environment, all of which per-turb the mapping between speech and linguistic categories. Without the aid of invariant

• Just like with speech, differently or incorrectly spelled words can interfere with comprehension The Importance of Spelling • Spelling is related to (word-level) reading – Children read spellings, spell spellings, and read the spellings of words they have spelled – The two skills are highly
