Cover Story: Speech evolves with age from early adulthood to old age. Age-related changes can originate from various sources (physiological, cognitive, social) and are not necessarily associated with decline. We present a multidimensional acoustic report describing variation as a function of age of the speech productions of 500 Francophones (20 to 93 y.o.a.). Results confirm that with increasing age, speakers show more voice instability, sex-dependent pitch changes, slower speech and articulation rates, and less complexity effects in maximal performance tasks. A notable finding is that some of these changes are continuous throughout adulthood, while others appear either at old age or in early adulthood. We discuss these results in relation to the notion of attrition and other possible factors at play in an attempt to better capture the multidimensional nature of the notion of "age". View this paper
