Analysis of Hyper-articulated speech found that the syllable duration of the glide more than doubled and the upward transitional feature of \/w\/ was significantly expanded. Also, pitch was found to significantly increase at syllable offset in clear speech, suggesting\u0026nbsp;an additional enhancement strategy related to pitch at the final area of the syllable.\u0026nbsp;Data supports that heritage learners\u0026rsquo; enhancement strategies are consistent with that of native speakers in exaggerated acoustic features, but their acoustic value ranges are not comparable.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWeiss-Cowie and Chang will be travelling to New Orleans for the LSA Conference taking place January 2-5, 2020 representing the School of Modern Languages\u0026rsquo; Korean program.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"School of Modern Languages student wins award for his research on Hyper-articulation in Korean glides by heritage language learners.
