Intelligibility: From Phoneme to Process
… the impact of phonological processes on speech intelligibility. The influence of traditional articulation theory and phonological theory on the assessment of unintelligible speech is reviewed. Traditionally based articulation assessment of speech intelligibility is discussed and the validity of …

Factors influencing sentence intelligibility in noise
… accuracy, and diagnostical benefit of sentence intelligibility tests within one language and to give suggestions for realizing comparable sentence intelligibility tests across languages. Sentence intelligibility tests are either composed of meaningful or syntactically fixed, but semantically …

On the Intelligibility of Grounding Autonomy
Metaphysical grounding has received a great deal of attention in the metaphysics literature within the last decade, offering what many see as an attractive theoretical alternative to other attempts to analyze the nature of fundamentality, e.g., dependence, supervenience, identity, conceptual …

Predicting confusions and intelligibility of noisy speech
Current predictors of speech intelligibility are inadequate for making predictions of speech confusions caused by acoustic interference. This thesis is inspired by the need for a capability to understand and predict speech confusions caused by acoustic interference. The goal of this thesis is to …

Improving speech intelligibility in fluctuating background interference
The masking release (MR; i.e., better speech recognition in fluctuating compared to continuous noise backgrounds) that is evident for normal-hearing (NH) listeners is generally reduced or absent in hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. In this study, a signal-processing technique was developed to …

Ways, Proofs, and the Intelligibility of God: Thomas Aquinas’s Five Ways as Leading into the Intelligibility of an Existing God
<p>There is some question about how to understand Thomas Aquinas’s five ways of demonstrating that God exists. Often philosophers and theologians portray Thomas as a strict Aristotelian rationalist with a strong emphasis on syllogistic epistemology. Against this view a competing existential, …

Speech filtering for improving intelligibility in noisy transients
… is an important factor in the overall speech intelligibility of the implant system. This thesis work improves on an existing ultra-low-power cochlear implant system by utilizing an improved noise and power efficient bandpass filter bank to implement a novel frequency-selective gain control …

Speech intelligibility: a study of Iraqi EFL learners’ accented English
Intelligibility refers to a targeted pronunciation level in English which enables non-native English speakers to produce and understand English speech uttered by both native and non-native English speakers (Abercrombie, 1949; Gimson, 2001; Cruttenden, 2014; Munro and Derwing, 2006; Levis, 2016). …

Intelligibility and *Context in Reader Responses to Contact Literary Text
… by Halliday and Hasan (1985) as well as an intelligibility model developed by Smith (1992), the reading of these two samples of contact literary text are examined for their linguistic, critical, and pedagogical implications in the broader use of contact literary texts.

Speech Intelligibility and Bilingualism: The Effects of Age of Acquisition
One of the central questions of second language acquisition research has been what affect age of acquisition has on the language learner's eventual proficiency in a second language. Researchers have tried to determine whether there is a strong correlation between age of onset and fluency in the …

Models of Human Phone Transcription in Noise Based on Intelligibility Predictors
The key findings of the experiments are the following: (1) the Articulation Index model recognition accuracy works very well in some phonetic contexts and fails in others, (2) the Articulation Index model is the average of a number of more specific models with their own parameters, (3) audibility …
