Prosodic features of second language fluency

Fluency has often been ignored in speech prosody research, including in research on prosody of a second language (L2). However, a broader view on L2 sentence prosody would be beneficial to the construction of theories concerning the acquisition of L2 prosody and applications such as assessments in teaching, exercis...

Automated Assessment of L2 Speech Rhythm Using Low-Frequency Amplitude Modulations

This work proposes an acoustics-based assessment approach that employs a convolutional neural network to extract rhythm features directly from the speech amplitude envelope, motivated by evidence linking low-frequency modulations to rhythm perception.

CASA: Content-Acoustic Speaking Assessment with Speech Encoder and Large Language Model

CASA, a simpler architecture combining Whisper-medium and Qwen3.5-2B that achieves state-of-the-art performance while providing a more interpretable separation between speech delivery and content, is proposed.

Accent type modulates frequency-specific neural tracking of speech

Abstract In the real world, listeners often find speech in a non-native (L2) accent harder to understand than speech in their own native (L1) accent. In ideal laboratory listening settings, these struggles can become smaller. For this reason, most research on L2 accent processing uses speech-in-noise paradigms to avoid...

Toolkit for acoustic–phonetic analysis of naturalistic speech data

This work demonstrates TAPA on the 2016 U.S. presidential debate, and suggests that TAPA can be used to increase access to naturalistic speech data and speed up the processing timeline with experts' supervision.
