The Relationship Between Head Movements and Speech Dysfluencies

摘要: In four subjects, the correlations between dysfluencies in spontaneous speech and head movements, monitored by polarized-light goniometry, were studied order to establish accurately their relative timing interaction linguistic physical properties. Speech categorized according grammatical properties, while movements classed as previously kinematic Distinct movement occurred after most dysfluencies, especially association with large increases loudness, showing significant classes dysfluency categories. For instance, wide, linear ("postural shifts" or PS) tended occur "grammatical" pauses (between clauses sentences); narrow, rapid (RM) inside boundaries, short pauses. Findings interpreted consistent previous speculations, assigning a role speec...
