Adaptation strategies in perturbed /s/

Adaptation strategies in perturbed /s/.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the role of three articulatory parameters (tongue position, jaw position and tongue grooving) in the production of /s/. Six normal speakers' speech was perturbed by a palatal prosthesis. The fricative was recorded acoustically and through electromagnetic articulography in four conditions: (1) unperturbed, (2) perturbed with auditory feedback masked, (3...

Temporal development of compensation strategies for perturbed palate shape in German /S/-production

The palate shape of four speakers was changed by a prosthesis which either lowered the palate or retracted the alveoles. Subjects wore the prosthesis for two weeks and were recorded several times via EMA. Results of articulatory measurements show that speakers use different compensation methods at different stages of the adaptation. They lower the tongue immediately after the insertion of the p...

Adaptation Strategies in Componentware

In the context of componentware, there are several different strategies to adapt a given gen̄erīc component. They differ in the necessary prerequisites and the achieved quality of the resulting specific component with respect to reliability, efficiency and reusability. In this paper, we discuss a number of conceivable adaptation strategies for components, like wrapping, composition, or inheritan...

Update strategies for perturbed nonsmooth equations

Nonsmooth operator equations in function spaces are considered, which depend on perturbation parameters. The nonsmoothness arises from a projection onto an admissible interval. Lipschitz stability in L∞ and Bouligand differentiability in L of the parameter-to-solution map are derived. An adjoint problem is introduced for which Lipschitz stability and Bouligand differentiability in L∞ are obtain...
