		<description><![CDATA[I spoke with a prominent sound designer for animated features last night. He posed a rather intriguing problem: How do you make a talking moose sound organically like a talking moose? How do we create a voice that would represent a talking moose? How do we put the acoustic filters in place to take a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a question out to my readers: Is anyone developing a realistic system of voice synthesis, that takes into account the prosody, especially the melody and rhythm, of natural speech? On the other end, what work is being done to facilitate machine comprehension of natural speech, in particular the meaning of speech prosody?
From what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Infant Sound Environment Project (ISEP) is a longitudinal study of the sound inputs to infants and the relationship of these inputs to the sound production of these children as they emerge from infancy. Follow on research will address aspects of perceptual equivalence, to better understand this relationship. While previous studies have addressed the acquisition [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Update pending. Look for review of Kurowski, Blumstein, and Alexander (1996).]
What has been dubbed foreign accent syndrome was first described by Monrad-Krohn in 1947,1 in which he presented the case of a woman who suffered a shrapnel wound in WWII, that damaged portions of the left hemisphere of her brain. Her ability to produce and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been observed in psychological studies of lexical priming, that polysemous words (in English, &#8220;bug&#8221;, &#8220;pit&#8221;, &#8220;fall&#8221;) sometimes force a processing delay, as the mind entertains several meanings. It would be interesting to consider these polysemous words as pivots. In musical modulation, pivot chords often serve similarly ambiguous (polysemous) roles. They are valid (diatonic) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been noted that child-directed speech (CDS) is often characterized by higher pitch and wider pitch range. However, these features are not universal. In Mayan society for example it has been reported that child-directed speech is characterized by a low-whispery murmuring quality. What could explain this difference?
One factor that has been largely unconsidered is [...]]]></description>
