Consonance


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Consonancy

Example Sentences:

  • (20) Acoustic information about the place of articulation of a prevocalic nasal consonant is distributed over two distinct signal portions, the nasal murmur and the onset of the following vowel.

Repetition


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of repeating; a doing or saying again; iteration.
  • (n.) Recital from memory; rehearsal.
  • (n.) The act of repeating, singing, or playing, the same piece or part a second time; reiteration of a note.

  • (2) This modulation results from repetitive, alternating bursts of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, which are caused at least in part by synaptic feedback to the command neurons from identified classes of neurons in the feeding network.
  • (3) This promotion of repetitive activity by the introduction of additional potassium channels occurred up to an "optimal" value beyond which a further increase in paranodal potassium permeability narrowed the range of currents with a repetitive response.
  • (4) This condition may be caused by the prolonged, repetitive elevations of gonadal steroids and other hormones known to suppress gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion that are elicited by their daily exercise.
