Acoustic Correlates of Voicing-frication Interaction in Fricatives
1. ABSTRACT This paper investigates the acoustic effects of source interaction in fricative speech sounds. A range of parameters has been employed, including a measure designed specifically to describe quantitatively the amplitude modulation of frication noise by voicing, a phenomenon which has mainly been qualitatively reported. The signal processing technique to extract this measure is presen...
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of English fricatives.
This study constitutes a large-scale comparative analysis of acoustic cues for classification of place of articulation in fricatives. To date, no single metric has been found to classify fricative place of articulation with a high degree of accuracy. This study presents spectral, amplitudinal, and temporal measurements that involve both static properties (spectral peak location, spectral moment...
متن کاملAmplitude modulation of turbulence noise by voicing in fricatives.
The two principal sources of sound in speech, voicing and frication, occur simultaneously in voiced fricatives as well as at the vowel-fricative boundary in phonologically voiceless fricatives. Instead of simply overlapping, the two sources interact. This paper is an acoustic study of one such interaction effect: the amplitude modulation of the frication component when voicing is present. Corpo...
متن کاملAccessibility of the voicing distinction for learning phonological rules.
In three experiments, a series of nonsense syllables ending in consonants was presented to adult subjects who had to discover or learn a rule for classifying them into two groups. The rule was based either on the voicing of the final consonants or on an arbitrary division of them. Subjects performed better with the v01clng than with the arbitrary rule only when there was a straightforward relat...
متن کاملAcoustic and perceptual properties of English fricatives
This study presents a comparative analysis of acoustic and perceptual cues to place of articulation in English fricatives. Acoustic parameters investigated include spectral peak location, spectral moments, locus equations, F2 onset, overall noise amplitude, relative amplitude, and fricative noise duration. Perception data were collected for isolated fricatives and fricativevowel syllables. The ...
