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. Verdi’s Desdemona then appears as a fully matured character whose emotional power is fuelled by her vocal prowess.…”

Comparaison entre espèces chez le primate et évolution du langage by Anne Reboul

“…The existence of semantic compositionality strictly speaking in the natural communication of nonhuman primates is still controversial, but on the other hand, the existence of statistical laws that had been considered as specific to language has been evidenced in the gestural and vocal communication of nonhuman primates. The investigation of nonhuman primates’ communication is a fast-developing research area, that should bring interesting perspectives on language evolution and that would benefit from targeting multimodal (gestures and vocalizations) communication in nonhuman primates.…”

Awareness of glottal settings for the production of /h/-initial and vowel-initial words in French learners of L2 English by Christelle Exare

“…‘Glottal awareness’ corresponds to speakers’ ability to produce and recognise three glottal settings: aspiration (e.g. the glottis is wide open for the realisation of the first phoneme of ‘hat’), continuous voicing (e.g. the vocal folds vibrate with no interruption at word boundary for glide linking in ‘two wapples’) and glottalisation (e.g. the vocal folds close abruptly and / or vibrate irregularly for ‘my ˀaunt’). …”
