(15) The effects of consonantal context on formant overlap are also considered.
(16) These durational changes result in an apparent enhancement of the final consonantal portion of the misperceived word.
(17) Much recent research on acoustic cues for consonants' places of articulation has focused upon the nature of the rapid spectral changes that take place between signal portions corresponding to consonantal closure and adjacent vowels.
(18) This, in combination with high recognition of vowels and the consonantal feature place of articulation through visual receptors, leads to recognition performance in the combined condition (visual plus tactual) which far exceeds either reception condition in isolation.
(19) Consonantal substitution errors were submitted to INDSCAL analysis.
(20) Speech samples of 15 syllables (three vowels in five prevocalic consonantal contexts) were collected from men and women at two times of the day (early morning and late afternoon).

(7) Using a special electromyographic hypodermic needle, we injected botulinum A toxin into one of the vocal folds of two patients with severe spasmodic dysphonia.
(8) It is hypothesized that the first group contains predominantly or exclusively "primary" vocalization substrates; the second group is thought to be composed mainly of structures whose stimulation yields vocalization secondarily due to stimulus induced motivational changes.
(9) The system has been validated for monitoring ultrasonic vocalizations in the mouse.
(10) In addition to vocal cord paralysis on the laryngoscopy, videofluoroscopy confirmed diminished mobility of the soft palate.
(11) However, there is no reported study which compares the long-term outcome of patients with vocal cord nodules treated surgically with those treated with a combination of surgery and speech therapy, and those treated only with speech therapy.
