Are there sustained psychological impacts in women diagnosed with in-situ or early invasive breast cancers? Open

Bettina Braun, Joke Tio, Barbara Krause-Bergmann, Hans‐Werner Hense · 2023

Purpose The detection of a ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) or an early invasive breast cancer (EIBC), particularly by population-wide mammography-screening-programs, is controversial as an unknown proportion of these cases may be due to ov…

Katharina Zahner-Ritter, Yiya Chen, Nicole Dehé, Bettina Braun · 2022

The present study investigates the prosody of information-seeking (ISQs) and rhetorical questions (RQs) in Standard Chinese, in polar and wh-questions. Like in other languages, ISQs and RQs in Standard Chinese can have the same surface str…

How experience with tone in the native language affects the L2 acquisition of pitch accents Open

Katharina Zahner-Ritter, Tianyi Zhao, Marieke Einfeldt, Bettina Braun · 2022

This paper tested the ability of Mandarin learners of German, whose native language has lexical tone, to imitate pitch accent contrasts in German, an intonation language. In intonation languages, pitch accents do not convey lexical informa…

Three Kinds of Rising-Falling Contours in German wh-Questions: Evidence From Form and Function Open

Katharina Zahner-Ritter, Marieke Einfeldt, Daniela Wochner, Angela D. James, Nicole Dehé , et al. · 2022

The intonational realization of utterances is generally characterized by regional as well as inter- and intra-speaker variability in f0. Category boundaries thus remain “fuzzy” and it is non-trivial how the (continuous) acoustic space maps…

Prosody is adding what?: Echo questions are not a thing Open

María Biezma, Bettina Braun, Angela D. James · 2022

While echo questions (EcQs) are often said to be identified by their prosodic properties, there is no empirical study actually supporting such claim. Focusing on wh-utterances we provide results from a production study, a classifier, and a…

Remote Testing of the Familiar Word Effect With Non-dialectal and Dialectal German-Learning 1–2-Year-Olds Open

Bettina Braun, Nathalie Czeke, Jasmin Rimpler, Bettina Braun, Jonas Probst , et al. · 2021

Variability is pervasive in spoken language, in particular if one is exposed to two varieties of the same language (e.g., the standard variety and a dialect). Unlike in bilingual settings, standard and dialectal forms are often phonologica…

Prosodic differences between rhetorical and information-seeking questions in Standard Chinese Open

Katharina Zahner, Yiya Chen, Nicole Dehé, Bettina Braun · 2021

The present study compares the prosody of string-identical information-seeking (ISQs) and rhetorical questions (RQs) in Standard Chinese, in polar and wh-questions. Standard Chinese has four lexical tones and is hence a prime candidate for…

Michael C. Frank, Katie Alcock, Natalia Arias‐Trejo, Gisa Aschersleben, Dare A. Baldwin , et al. · 2020

Psychological scientists have become increasingly concerned with issues related to methodology and replicability, and infancy researchers in particular face specific challenges related to replicability: For example, high-powered studies ar…

The Mode of Detection Is Not Associated with Quality of Life in Women with Breast Cancer Open

Bettina Braun, Marc-André Kurosinski, Laura Khil, Joke Tio, Barbara Krause-Bergmann , et al. · 2019

Introduction: Apart from saving lives, mammography screening programs (MSP) are expected to reduce negative side effects of treatment by detecting cancer earlier, when it is more responsive to less aggressive treatment. This …

Data for: How intonational contours, exposure, and variety affect lexical stress judgements (Submitted to LabPhon, Nov. 2019) Open

Katharina Zahner, Sophie Kutscheid, Adrian Leemann, Bettina Braun · 2019

Materials for the stress-judgement task and exposure phases as described in "How intonational contours, exposure, and variety affect lexical stress judgements" (Submitted to LabPhon, Nov. 2019)

Prenuclear L∗+H Activates Alternatives for the Accented Word Open

Bettina Braun, María Victoria Biezma Moraleda · 2019

Previous processing studies have shown that constituents that are prosodically marked as focus lead to an activation of alternatives. We investigate the processing of constituents that are prosodically marked as contrastive topics. …

Alignment of f0 peak in different pitch accent types affects perception of metrical stress Open

Katharina Zahner, Sophie Kutscheid, Bettina Braun · 2019

In intonation languages, pitch accents are associated with stressed syllables, therefore accentuation is a sufficient cue to the position of metrical stress in perception. This paper investigates how stress perception in German is affected…

Herpes zoster incidence in Germany - an indirect validation study for self-reported disease data from pretest studies of the population-based German National Cohort Open

Mahrrouz Caputo, Johannes Horn, Andrè Karch, Manas K. Akmatov, Heiko Becher , et al. · 2019

As age- and sex-specific patterns were comparable with that in health insurance data, self-reported diagnosis of HZ seems to be a valid instrument for overall disease trends. Possible reasons for observed differences in incidence rates are…

Differences in Breast Cancer Characteristics by Mammography Screening Participation or Non-Participation Open

Bettina Braun, Laura Khil, Joke Tio, Barbara Krause-Bergmann, Andrea Fuhs , et al. · 2018

MSP participants with invasive breast cancer can generally be treated with less intensive surgical and systemic therapy than non-participants, even if interval cancers are also taken into account. Future studies should also investigate qua…

Production and Perception of Prosodic Cues in Narrow & Corrective Focus in Urdu/Hindi Open

The Distribution and Prosodic Realization of Verb Forms in German Infant-Directed Speech Open

Bettina Braun, Katharina Zahner · 2018

Infant-directed speech is often seen as a predictor for infants' speech processing abilities, for instance speech segmentation or word learning. In this paper, we examine the syntactic distribution (position), accentuation and prosodic phr…

The purpose shapes the vocative: Prosodic realisation of Colombian Spanish vocatives Open

Clara Huttenlauch, Ingo Feldhausen, Bettina Braun · 2018

The question of whether intonation contours directly signal meaning is an old one. We revisit this question using vocatives in Colombian Spanish (Bogotá). We recorded speakers' productions in three pragmatic conditions – greeting, confirma…

Similar Prosodic Structure Perceived Differently in German and English Open

Heather Kember, Ann-Kathrin Grohe, Katharina Zahner, Bettina Braun, Andréa Weber , et al. · 2017

English and German have similar prosody, but their speakers realize some pitch falls (not rises) in subtly different ways. We here test for asymmetry in perception. An ABX discrimination task requiring F0 slope or duration judgements on is…
