Abstract:

La parole silencieuse ou murmurée est définie comme la production articulée de sons, avec très peu de vibration des cordes vocales dans le cas du chuchotement, et aucune vibration dans le cas du murmure, produite par les mouvements et les interactions des organes de la parole tels que la langue, le voile du palais, les lèvres, etc. , dans le but d'éviter d'être entendue par plusieurs personnes. La parole silencieuse ou murmurée est utilisée généralement pour la communication privée et confidentielle ou peut être employée par les personnes présentant un handicap laryngé et qui ne peuvent pas pa

Abstract:

HF communication continues to play an important role in long-distance communications throughout Australia and indeed, the world. Unfortunately, HF communication suffers from highly variable conditions and strong levels of interference noise. This thesis presents an investigation into the provision of possible solutions to the problems of HF communication. The solutions are in the form of DSP algorithms implemented on a real-time DSP system. The DSP system is employed to postprocess the speech after transmission over the HF channel and to provide a degree of quality and intelligiblity enh

Gesturing with the hands while speaking is a ubiquitous, cross-cultural human practice. Yet this practice is complex, varied, conventional, nonconventional, and above all under-theorized. In light of the theoretical and empirical treatments of language and gesture that I engage in, I argue that the hand gestures that spontaneously accompany speech are a part of l

This investigation explored the dialectic of communication competence from an historical prospective and successfully identified seven common threads in competence theory.

Skills were described in twelve categories; however, no consistent definition or treatment of communication skills was in evidence. Implications of the findings were discusse

Abstract:

<p> Over the years, local television news stations across the nation have seen a dramatic decrease in viewership. Much like newspapers, fewer people are relying on television news for several reasons. Two of the biggest culprits are the age of new technology and social media. These two factors alone have reprogrammed people's daily habits, changing the landscape of television news viewership and resulting in uncertain times at local television news stations. Few studies have been done on the future of local television news. Of the studies that have been conducted, it is clear to see that local

Abstract:

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the apparent failure of the U.S. government to "win the hearts and minds" of Muslims in the post 9/11 world. Using critical discourse analysis of counter Muslim media and audience discourses (discourses criticizing and opposing U.S. policies in the Muslim world), four factors are identified as being central to this failure. They are: (1) The United States government's lack of historical, religious, social and cultural knowledge of Muslim people, (2) its foreign policies toward Muslim people, (3) U.S. media strategies, and (4) the proliferation of

Abstract:

Speech is the most important communication modality for human interaction. Automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis have extended further the relevance of speech to man-machine interaction. Environment noise and various distortions, such as reverberation and speech processing artifacts, reduce the mutual information between the message modulated inthe clean speech and the message decoded from the observed signal. This degrades intelligibility and perceived quality, which are the two attributes associated with quality of service. An estimate of the state of these attributes provides im

Age affects hearing and cognitive abilities. Older people, with and without hearing impairment (HI), exhibit difficulties in hearing speech in noise. Elderly individuals show greater difficulty in segregating target speech from distracting background noise, especially if the noise is competing speech with meaningful contents, so called informational maskers. Working memory capacity (WMC) has proven to be a crucial factor in comprehending speech in noise, especially for people with hearing loss. In auditory scenes where speech is disrupted by competing speech, high WMC has proven to facilitate
