Formant transitions in varied utterance positions.
AIM Acoustic characteristics associated with varied utterance positions were examined to understand the acoustic consequences of potential articulatory changes near utterance boundaries. METHODS Second formant transition characteristics, including transition duration (ms), transition extent (Hz), and derived slope of transition (Hz/ms), of 12 healthy speakers of American English were examined...
متن کاملVocal Tract Normalization Based on Formant Positions
This paper presents our initial results in a new approach to vocal tract normalization (VTN). In experiments based on continuous automatic speech recognition (ASR) the VTN procedure is in general carried out in both training and test phase. In the training phase it is used to obtain speaker independent acoustic models of phones. In the test phase it is used to convert input observations into ob...
متن کاملModeling the masking of formant transitions in noise
Formant transitions are critical for identifying the place of articulation for consonants. If these transitions are masked by background noise, perceptual confusions can occur. To better understand the masking of formant transitions, masking thresholds were measured for tone glides and single-formant trajectories of varying frequency extent (0-3 ERBs), duration (10, 30 and 100 ms), and center f...
متن کاملRelease bursts vs. formant transitions in Polish stop place perception
A perception study with acoustically manipulated tokens sought to establish the relative weight of noise vs. formant transition cues in the perception of stop place of articulation by Polish listeners, and to replicate previous findings from a crowdsourced experiment. Results suggest that noise cues are primary for Poles in stop place identification. It is argued that this finding is compatible...
متن کاملThresholds for second formant transitions in front vowels.
Formant dynamics in vowel nuclei contribute to vowel classification in English. This study examined listeners' ability to discriminate dynamic second formant transitions in synthetic high front vowels. Acoustic measurements were made from the nuclei (steady state and 20% and 80% of vowel duration) for the vowels /i, I, e, epsilon, ae/ spoken by a female in /bVd/ context. Three synthesis paramet...
