(1) The speech recognition threshold was evaluated in both groups by numbers of second order, and the speech recognition score was evaluated using monosyllables.
(2) The effects of noise on speech perception depend on the parameters of the noise (long term spectrum, fluctuations of the intensity in time and average intensity relative to the intensity of speech) and on the speech material (sentences, monosyllables, CV-, CVC-, VC-syllables).
(3) In answers that ranged from terse monosyllables to rambling monologues, Cayne said he wished the Securities and Exchange Commission had looked into the way rumours about Bear were spread: "Regardless of whether there was a conspiracy or not, the bottom line is the firm came under attack."
(4) The results have been evaluated on the basis of answers from the patients entered on questionnaires, and speech audiometry in open field, monosyllable, with 60 dB wide-band background noise.
(5) The Auditec recordings of the CID W-22 monosyllables were used to generate test and retest intelligibility functions on normally hearing listeners and subjects with mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss.
(6) With changes in frequency response of the stimulus delivery system, SRT shifted differentially for spondees and monosyllables.
(7) After months of trying to survive alone, attempting nightly to smuggle themselves into lorries to try to join an uncle in Britain, they are entirely crushed by their experiences and now mainly speak in reluctant monosyllables, occasionally offering a full sentence.
(8) On EMG, breakdown of the rhythmical patterns in the articulatory muscles was quite obvious in the repetition of a monosyllable.
(9) Patients had speech discrimination scores of at least 60% for phonetically balanced monosyllables (CID lists) at 40 dB above threshold, and a pure tone bone conduction average of 45 dB hearing loss or better.
(10) Two experiments involving deletion of selected segments of syllables were undertaken to investigate the distribution of perceptual cues and the role of right-to-left coarticulation in fricative vowel monosyllables.
(11) Tape recordings of time-compressed (40 and 60%) monosyllables were administered to 11 patients with diffuse unilateral temporal lobe lesion, 4 hemispherectomy patients, and 16 patients with discrete unilateral temporal lobe lesion.
(12) The speech recognition score for monosyllables was worse in both groups, and there was a significantly greater loss of speech recognition in the NIPHL group than in the elderly persons with normal hearing.
(13) Two prelingually deaf and two hearing speakers produced two different strings of alternating heterogeneous monosyllables as though speaking in time with a metronome (the so-called P-center task).
(14) It is concluded that: 1. perception of nonsense monosyllables could be, though need not be, affected in patients with brain stem lesions; 2. eighth nerve lesions severely disrupt auditory comprehension as well as perception of nonsense monosyllables.
(15) The five Thai tones (mid, low, falling, high, rising) were produced in isolated monosyllables, presented for tonal identification judgments, and measured for fundamental frequency (Fo) and duration.
(16) Various testing and training materials (Chinese version of the monosyllable-trochee-spondee [MTS] test) as well as modified candidate evaluation procedures and criteria were applied.
(17) The patients were studied using nonsense monosyllables to test for speech discrimination, a lip reading test, the Token Test for auditory comprehension, and the Aphasia test.
(18) A nonsense monosyllable audiometric test was administered to 15 patients with eighth nerve or brain stem disorders caused by tumor, hemorrhage, encephalitis, and degenerative disease.
(19) A pattern of recognition (discrimination) function is required for every monosyllable at every intensity level of the test.
(20) P300 event related potentials were recorded by three different pairs of stimuli: pure tone (1 KHz vs. 2 KHz), words (Aka vs. Kuro), and monosyllable (PA vs. BA).
Polysyllable
Definition:
(n.) A word of many syllables, or consisting of more syllables than three; -- words of less than four syllables being called monosyllables, dissyllables, and trisyllables.
Example Sentences:
(1) Just like Rees-Mogg, Johnson developed his public “Bojo” persona alongside a befuddled-looking Paul Merton, where he learned that looking dim but cranking out the polysyllables was a winning combination.
