Durational Variability of Vowel Quantity Boundary for Japanese, Finnish and Czech Speakers in Perception
The discrimination tests were conducted at the word level to study the durational variability of vowel quantity boundary in perception, utilising disyllabic synthetic nonsense words. Four kinds of word structures and five kinds of pitch and intensity variance patterns were used. The number of the tests became 60. 21 Japanese, Finnish and Czech speakers participated in these tests as the subject...
متن کاملAn acoustic comparison of vowel length contrasts in Arabic, Japanese and Thai: Durational and spectral data
In our earlier perception study, we observed that familiarity with first language (L1) phonemic length contrasts in Japanese does not transfer optimally into an unknown language, Arabic. We hypothesized that this finding is related to cross-language differences in how vowel length contrasts are phonetically realized. The present study compares acoustic characteristics (i.e., vowel duration, fir...
متن کاملFactors affecting utterance-final vowel devoicing in spontaneous Japanese
Investigation of spontaneous speech corpora has shown that vowel devoicing in Japanese is a statistical phenomena. However, factors behind vowel devoicing have not been fully studied. In addition, there have been no studies that specifically examined pre-pausal vowel devoicing. In this paper, we investigate vowel devoicing in the pre-pausal position, in particular, vowel devoicing occurring at ...
متن کاملRecognition of continuous utterances of Japanese vowel sequences based on structural representation of speech
Non-linguistic features such as vocal tract shapes and acoustic devices are inevitably involved in speech. Recently, a new representation of speech without any dimensions indicating the non-linguistic features was proposed. It discards the absolute properties of speech events and captures only the interrelations among them. In this paper, recognition experiments of continuous utterances of Japa...
متن کاملInteraction of Intrinsic Vowel and Consonant Durational Correlates with Foreigner Directed Speech
Foreigner-directed and Lombard speech are two examples of speech modes that have increased intelligibility compared to normal speech. Investigating the interactions between altered speech modes and phonological contrasts may throw light on the question of which details are vital in intelligibility enhancement. The present study compares the production of vowel shortening in English, a duration-...
