“…The acoustic response latencies, then, were affected by group membership, the type of stimulus and by practice. The longer acoustic reaction times of the stutterers are consistent with the data reported by Adams and Hayden (1976), Starkweather, et al (1976), Cross, Shadden and Luper (1979) and .…”

“…TECHNICAL APPROACH: Recent stuttering research (Adams and Hayden, 1976;Starkweather, Hlrschman and Tannenbaum, 1976;Luper and Cross, 1978;Cross, Shadden and Luper, 1979) has demonstrated simple reaction time differences between stutterers and nonstutterers in acoustic voice initiation following an acoustic or visual stimulus. The results indicate that stutterers have difficulty in promptly initiating phonation, The implication of this research for the treatment of stuttering is that fluency may be improved by improving the control of elaryngeal activity as it relates to respiration and articulation (Starkweather, et al, 1976).…”

Pulmonic ingressive phonation: Diachronic and synchronic characteristics, distribution and function in animal and human sound production and in human speech.This paper looks at the phenomenon of ingressive speech, i.e. speech produced on a pulmonic ingressive airstream, set in the context of human and animal ingressive phonation. The literature on ingressive speech and phonation spanning several centuries is reviewed, as well as contemporary reports of their incidence and characteristics from both functional and acoustic perspectives. Ingressive phonation has been used as a deliberate means of speech or sound production for hundreds of years in order to achieve specific effects, and it is still used for the same purposes, by e.g. shamans and ventriloquists. In normal spoken conversation -contrary to what is often claimed -present-day ingressive speech is not limited to Scandinavia or Nordic languages, but is found on all continents, in genetically unrelated languages. Where ingressive speech occurs, it serves more or less the same paralinguistic functions, such as a feedback marker in a dialog. Since pulmonic ingressive phonation is also common in the calls of monkeys and apes, thus exhibiting a biological basis, it is suggested that ingressive speech might constitute a neglected universal phenomenon, rather than being highly marked, which is how it is commonly described in the literature.If asked, 'Will you marry me?' no one would answer with an ingressive ja.research and experience show that EVERYONE does it, albeit in varying degrees. Anecdotes and general opinion aside, there is -to the best of the author's knowledge -no comprehensive overview of this phenomenon. A few years ago, having stumbled across ingressive speech while analyzing data for a different purpose (reported later in this paper), the author decided to explore in depth the phenomenon of ingressive phonation.This paper aims to describe pulmonic ingressive phonation and speech from many angles. Consequently, such widely different areas as zoology, physiology, acoustics, pathology, anthropology, ventriloquism, shamanism, musicology, general linguistics, paralinguistics, phonetics, and sociolinguistics will be covered, as will more practical aspects such as the annotation of ingressive phonation within various disciplines. This paper should be regarded as a linguistic-phonetic overview that goes back to the Pythea of Delphi (and even earlier than that) and extends to present-day automatic speech synthesis and recognition.This article is a review paper that summarizes a cornucopia of the literature. The paper's working title was based around the words what, how, where, who and why, which is reflected in its structure. Consequently, the paper starts out by describing WHAT ingressive speech is and HOW it is produced (part I), WHERE it is found and WHO uses it (part II), and WHY it is used (part III). Finally (part IV), an overv...

The simple reaction time paradigm, incorporating a variable foreperiod, was used to investigate relative contributions of the respiratory and laryngeal systems to mild and severe stutterers' prolonged acoustic laryngeal reaction time (LRT) values. Prephonatory kinematic data were analyzed in terms of frequency of initiation, timing, and organization of events executed to attain the functional physiological targets of respiratory inflation during foreperiods and phonation onset after foreperiods. Acoustic data replicated a previously observed composite stuttering severity and foreperiod effect on stutterers' acoustic LRT values. Kinematic data revealed that, in general, the mild stutterers demonstrated delayed initiation of respiratory events and appropriate organization of respiratory and laryngeal events while the severe stutterers demonstrated delayed initiation of laryngeal events and inappropriate organization of respiratory and laryngeal events. That is, kinematic data both account for group differences in acoustic LRT values as a function of foreperiod and support the notion that differential respiratory and laryngeal deficits underly mild and severe stutterers' prolonged acoustic LRT values.
