Example Sentences:
(1) With regard to the daily mean M, controls performed better than children with language disorders for the word (syllabic) repetition test (P less than 0.0004) but this was reversed for both computing and colouring skill tests (P less than 0.04 and less than 0.002).
(2) Also, syllabic stress of stimulus and response words was identical 88 percent of the time in the TV condition.
(3) Retarded readers were poorer than both control groups in consonant deletion, while there was no difference between the groups on a rhyme-judgement task and a syllabic-vowel-reproduction task.
(4) Our goal was to illuminate the role of canonical (well-formed syllabic) babbling in the development of speech by mentally retarded children.
(5) It has been found that proper interpretation of incoherent words depends at large on their rhythmic, or syllabic structure.
(6) The results indicated that conduction aphasics were superior to Wernicke's and anomic asphasics in their ability to identify both the first letter and the syllabic length of the words they could not name.
(7) Measures obtained from the communication samples included rates of intentional communication and proportions of communicative functions, discourse structure, communicative means, and syllabic shape.
(8) The aid applies slow-acting automatic gain control (AGC) to the whole signal, and then splits the signal into two bands, with separate fast-acting (syllabic) AGC in each band.
(9) One account of this well-replicated result invokes a cancellation explanation: with the place-of-articulation stimuli used, the pattern of formant transitions switches according to syllabic position, allowing putative phonetic-level effects to be opposed by putative acoustic-level effects.
(10) Am., 1985, 77, 678-685) that sensitivity to audio-visual desynchrony is significant only at a syllabic level in connected speech.
(11) Experiment 1 demonstrated that contrary to previous theorizing, the effect is not mediated by the disruption of syllabic units.
(12) Results are discussed with reference to previous studies of syllabic pitch perception.
(13) Syllabic compression did not, therefore, appear to have a significant influence on AV perception for these children.
(14) Experiment 1 showed that targets were named faster when prime and target shared phonemes but only when these occupied the same word or syllabic positions.

(16) The common pattern displayed by the children with specific language impairments was a deviation in syllabic shape.
(17) The results suggest that the naming of multisyllabic words draws on some of the same knowledge representations and processes as monosyllabic words; however, naming does not require syllabic decomposition.

(19) Suprasegmental tasks included the recognition of syllable number, syllabic stress, and intonation.
(20) French has relatively clear syllable boundaries and syllable-based timing patterns, whereas English has relatively unclear syllable boundaries and stress-based timing; thus syllabic segmentation would work more efficiently in the comprehension of French than in the comprehension of English.
