  2. 1. Speech and language dysfunction in childhood epilepsy and epileptiform EEG activity

    Author : Gunilla Rejnö-Habte Selassie; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : auditory ability; cognition; co-morbidity; epilepsy; epileptiform activity; follow-up; Landau Kleffner syndrome; language disorder; neurodevelopmental dysfunction; speech disorder;

    Abstract : In severe childhood language disorder, concomitant dysfunction in other areas may be present. There are indications that epileptiform EEG activity and epilepsy may influence speech and language development, but this relationship is poorly understood. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Growth of Phrases. User-centred Design for Activity-based Voice Output Communication Aids

    Author : Bitte Rydeman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : AAC; Activity; Assistive Technology; Communication; Conversation Analysis; Corpus Linguistics; Cultural-Historical Activity Theory; Pragmatics; User-centred design; AKK; Aktivitet; Användarcentrerad design; Kommunikation; Kommunikationsanalys; Korpuslingvistik; Kulturhistorisk aktivitetsteori; Pragmatik; Samtalshjälpmedel;

    Abstract : An activity-based vocabulary for Voice Output Communication Aids (VOCAs) was designed and evaluated through a user-centred, iterative design process, using expressions from the Gothenburg Spoken Language Corpus as well as other recorded, natural conversations. The growth and development of the vocabulary, called Phrases, was closely linked to its evaluation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prosody and Prediction in Neural Speech Processing

    Author : Pelle Söderström; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Linguistics; ERP; fMRI; Prediction; Prosody; Syntax; speech processing; PrAN;

    Abstract : The present thesis investigated how listeners use prosody to rapidly predict upcoming lexical and syntactic structures. In the first three studies, it was shown that listeners take advantage of Swedish word-level tones to pre- activate upcoming word endings. READ MORE

    Abstract : Understanding speech in the presence of noise can be difficult, especially when suffering from a hearing loss. This thesis examined behavioural and electrophysiological measures of speech processing with the aim of establishing how they were influenced by hearing loss (internal degradation) and listening condition (external degradation).
