Geometric Constraints on Human Speech Sound Inventories
We investigate the idea that the languages of the world have developed coherent sound systems in which having one sound increases or decreases the chances of having certain other sounds, depending on shared properties of those sounds. We investigate the geometries of sound systems that are defined by the inherent properties of sounds. We document three typological tendencies in sound system geo...
متن کاملSELF-ORGANIZATION OF SPEECH SOUND INVENTORIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF COMPLEX NETWORKS Animesh Mukherjee SELF-ORGANIZATION OF SPEECH SOUND INVENTORIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF COMPLEX NETWORKS
The sound inventories of the world’s languages show a considerable extent of symmetry. It has been postulated that this symmetry is a reflection of the human physiological, cognitive and societal factors. There have been a large number of linguistically motivated studies in order to explain the selforganization of these inventories that arguably leads to the emergence of this symmetry. A few co...
متن کاملPerceptual and Computational Constraints on Vowel Inventories
Common vowel inventories of languages tend to be better dispersed in the space of possible vowels than less common or unattested inventories. The present research explored the hypothesis that functional factors underlie this preference. Connectionist models were trained on different inventories of spoken vowels, taken from a naturalistic corpus. The first experiment showed that networks trained...
متن کاملA speech model of acoustic inventories based on asynchronous interpolation
We propose a speech model that describes acoustic inventories of concatenative synthesizers. The model has the following characteristics: (i) very compact representations and thus high compression ratios are possible, (ii) re-synthezised speech is free of concatenation errors, (iii) the degree of articulation can be controlled explicitly, and (iv) voice transformation is feasible with relativel...
متن کاملConstraints on Theories of Human vs. Machine Recognition of Speech
The central issues in the study of speech recognition by human listeners (HSR) and of automatic speech recognition (ASR) are clearly comparable; nevertheless the research communities that concern themselves with ASR and HSR are largely distinct. This paper compares the research objectives of the two fields, and attempts to draw informative lessons from one to the other.
