Mandarin vowel pronunciation quality evaluation by using formant pattern recognition
In this paper we propose to apply formant pattern recognition to Mandarin vowel pronunciation assessment. We devise a novel pitch cycle detection method and suggest estimating formant frequencies from observations of the frequency domain by using pitch-synchronous analysis. Statistically based classifiers are trained to discriminate formant patterns for vowel pronunciation assessment. Five conf...
متن کاملdialects based on vowel pronunciation
Among Swedish dialects vowels differ a lot in contrast to consonants, and the variation in vowel pronunciation is important for characterizing dialectal identity. In this poster presentation Swedish dialects are classified on the basis of vowel pronunciation. The data come from the project Swedia2000 (http://swedia.ling.gu.se/) where vowels were elicited with mono-or bisyllabic words with vowel...
متن کاملThe effects of the acoustic properties of second language vowel production on pronunciation evaluation
This study examines the acoustic characteristics which native speakers use as cues when judging speech samples. 17 words produced by 98 (15 native speakers and 83 Japanese learners of English) were collected and evaluated. Following this, the first three formants for each vowel produced were measured and used as independent variables in stepwise multiple regression analyses to explain variance ...
متن کاملExperimental detection of vowel pronunciation variants in Amharic
The pronunciation lexicon is a fundamental element in an automatic speech transcription system. It associates each lexical entry (usually a grapheme), with one or more phonemic or phone-like forms, the pronunciation variants. Thorough knowledge of the target language is a priori necessary to establish the pronunciation baseforms and variants. The reliance on human expertise can pose difficultie...
متن کاملFactor Analysis of Vowel Pronunciation in Swedish Dialects
In this study 91 local Swedish dialects were analysed based on vowel pronunciation. Acoustic measurements of vowel quality were made for 18 vowels of 1,014 speakers by means of principal component analysis of vowel spectra. Two principal components were extracted explaining more than 34 of the total variance in the vowel spectra. Plotting vowels in the PC1-PC2 plane showed a solution with stron...
