Effect of High Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Voice Training on Voice Function of Patients with Parkinson's Disease by WANG Xiaowen, ZHU Qingqing, CHEN Yan, QIAN Hong, YUAN Haixin, ZHAO Gang, LIU Jie, ZHANG Fengjiao

“…Compared with the control group at the same time, MPT, cMCA, F₀t, Ec, F₂/i/ of the observation group after treatment and follow-up were significantly increased, and the scores of CQP, NNE and VHI score were significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionHigh frequency rTMS combined voice training can improve the respiratory support ability, the coordination ability of breathing and vocalization, the regularity of vocal cord closure, the forward movement ability of tongue in PD patients; reduce vocal cord tremor, attenuation of harmonic energy during vocal cord vibration,breath sound and self subjective feeling of voice disorder, and its long-term effect is also good, which is worthy of clinical promotion.…”

La modulation sociale de la voix ne compromet pas le mécanisme de phenotype matching chez le mandrill by Florence Levréro, Greta Carrete-Vega, Anais Herbert, Ismaël Lawabi † 2015, Alexandre Courtiol, Eric Willaume, Peter M. Kappeler, Marie J.E. Charpentier

“…In particular, no study has yet unambiguously disentangled mechanisms based on learned familiarity from true phenotype matching in kin discrimination based on vocal signals. Here we show that in addition to genetic background, social accommodation also shapes individual voices in an Old World monkey (Mandrillus sphinx), even though primate vocalizations were thought to be innate and little flexible. …”

Palatal assibilation before [w]? The case of Armenian, Saka, and Luwian by Hans Henrich Hock

“… Three branches of Indo-European ­—Luwian, Armenian, and East Iranian (Khotanese) Saka— seem have undergone asssibilation of PIE palatal-prevelar stops before [w], a development contrasting with the general outcome of these stops in Armenian and Saka, and with their apparent outcome before [- front] vocalic segments in Luwian. So far, no principled phonetic or phonological explanations for this behavior have been proposed. …”

Desdemona’s changing voices: from the “Willow Song” to the “Canzona del Salice” by Chantal Schütz

“…With the result that the scene, which had purely and simply been excised from the English stage-world, was gradually reintroduced under the influence of the operatic version, thus restoring an adult voice to a character that had long been reduced to a child-bride almost devoid of vocal identity.
