Intrinsic-cum-extrinsic normalization of formant data of vowels

Intrinsic-cum-extrinsic normalization of formant data of vowels

Using a known speaker-intrinsic normalization procedure, formant data are scaled by the reciprocal of the geometric mean of the first three formant frequencies. This reduces the influence of the talker but results in a distorted vowel space. The proposed speaker-extrinsic procedure re-scales the normalized values by the mean formant values of vowels. When tested on the formant data of vowels pu...

Formant Frequencies of Dutch· Vowels

In the present study Dutch vowel formant characteristics of laryngectomized tracbeoesophageal speakers are investigated.. Both vowels in CV nonsense syllables (/al, Iii, and /u/), and vowels of stressed syllables in read-aloud text are studied. It appeared that in the nonsense syllables the first formants were comparable to those ·of normal speakers, but that the second formants were higher tha...

A Study of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation Iranian mysticism gravamen

Gravamen is a kind of lyrical literature in which human tries own suffering and distress to reveal the audience. There are several types of gravamen. One of them is the mystical breakthrough that comes from the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Including Intrinsic motivations can be mentioned the sadness of separation from partner, the sadness of separation from partner, sensual temptations, ...

Speaker normalization of stressed and unstressed vowels in articulatory and formant spaces

One of the goals of phonetic investigations is to find strategies for vowel production independent of speaker-specific vocal-tract anatomies and individual biomechanic properties. In this paper we apply a technique for speaker normalization to formant spaces, lingual vowel target positions and palate midlines. The general goal is to extract speaker-independent strategies for stress production i...
