Amplitude variations in coarticulated vowels.
This paper seeks to characterize the nature, size, and range of acoustic amplitude variation in naturally produced coarticulated vowels in order to determine its potential contribution and relevance to vowel perception. The study is a partial replication and extension of the pioneering work by House and Fairbanks [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 22, 105-113 (1953)], who reported large variation in vowel am...
متن کاملContext-independent dynamic information for the perception of coarticulated vowels.
Most investigators agree that the acoustic information for American English vowels includes dynamic (time-varying) parameters as well as static "target" information contained in a single cross section of the syllable. Using the silent-center (SC) paradigm, the present experiment examined the case in which the initial and final portions of stop consonant-vowel-stop consonant (CVC) syllables cont...
متن کاملOn the nature of acoustic information in identification of coarticulated vowels
Perceptual studies involving modified syllables showed that the information necessary to identify coarticulated vowels is distributed throughout the duration of the vowels and the adjacent transitions from and to consonants. Different hypotheses were formulated to explain the nature of this dynamic spectral information. This paper presents an analysis of average spectral trajectories of nine vo...
متن کاملDistinctive Names for Speech Sounds and Letters Obtained with Hyper-coarticulated Vowels
The names used in most languages for the letters of the Latin alphabet and for the sounds these represent are marked by a striking lack of distinctiveness that often makes them fail their purpose. When this is likely to happen, speakers tend to use one of various auxiliary “spelling alphabets” instead. Such a need does not arise with the longer and more distinctive letter names of Semitic desce...
متن کاملOn the Distribution of Information and Intrinsic Variability for Classification of Coarticulated Vowels
It is known that the information necessary for the identification of coarticulated vowels is distributed throughout the duration of the vowels and the adjacent phonemes. This information is embedded in the speech signal in various acoustic patterns: static, dynamic, and temporal. A recent study identified seven types of acoustic patterns that might be exploited by listeners in the identificatio...
