Summary: The paper analyzes questions asked by a spontaneous,
simultaneous, and balanced English-Croatian bilingual child from
age 3;1 to 3;3. In comparison to the monolingual children his
questions encompass a smaller scope of syntactically and
sementically possible questions in bouth languages. He uses the
same set or personal rules in both languages, and therefore, the
mistakes are somewhat different from the ones made by monolingual
children.

Title: Acoustic optimization of speech signal in learning
pronunciation

Number: 1-2
ISSN: 0353-2704
Volume: 5

Pages: from 71 to 75
Number of references: 6
Language: hrvatski
Summary: The basic theoretical assumption of verbotonal theory is
that the result of speech perception depends on the structure of listening
based on the mother tongue. Learning foreign language pronunciation
requires restructuring of listening patterns. This is aided by a system of
filters (SUVAG apparatus) which eliminate redundant acoustic information
and emphasize the optimal acoustic parameters of sounds, intonation and
rhythm.

Summary: Nondistinctive features of speech sounds conveyed from one
language into another with transfer of unvoluntary and spontaneous
information about the speaker, essentially influence the acquiring of
distinctive features. So their neglect, instead of shortening the way to
the new phonetic system, in fact makes impossible its complete acquirement.

tendency towards greater intra-language variability for non-dominant

with lower level of language proficiency is found.

Summary: From the point of view of pedagogical practice the final
system of errors could be the most interesting one because it constitutes
the ultimate 'foreign accent' of speakers of a community who have mastered
a foreign language fluently and have acquired the system of phonological
oppositions to the point that they do not substitute foreign phonemes with
the ones belonging to their mother tongue, still, their realization of
speech sounds originates from a different articulatory base.

Summary: Formant-defined English vowel space of native speakers are
compared with that of 1st and 4th year Croatian students of English. The
results suggest that (1) native speakers' vowel space is broader than the
students' vowels space and (2) 4th year students show a tendency to broaden
their vowel space and thus approach the native speakers with respect to
formant pattern.

Summary: The main purpose of abstracting is to construct a
representation of published items in a form suitable for inclusion in some
type of database. For this purpose, abstracts should be formally well
organized, topically relevant, and linguistically adequately verbalized. In
this respect, language should be viewed less from the linguistic
perspective, in the sense of grammar, and more as a complex mental activity
verbally realized by a text.

- Authors:
- Desnica-Žerjavić, Nataša (9406)
Language: francuski
Summary: In the first the basic principles and notions of general
phonetics are presented. The deviations from the standard speech and
comparative analysis of many different languages follow. In the second part
the French phonetic system is presented along with the definition and the
distrubution of phonemes, the specificities of French prosody and the
anomalies of the system due to the incoherence of graphic symbols and
etymological characteristics of the lexis. In the third part a system of
phonetic correction is expounded, based on the principles of the verbotonal
system and the knowledge of proprioceptive sensations experienced during
the emission of the speech sounds.
