Dialectal Variation of Voice Quality in Taiwan Min: An EGG and Acoustical Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study explored the voice quality of Taiwan Min checked tones 5 and 3 produced by speakers of varying ages from northern, central and southern Taiwan with Zhanzhou, Quanzhou and mixed accents. Comparison between spectral tilt (difference between H1*-H2* amplitudes) and closed quotients of the glottal wave form showed that checked tones with creaky / tense voice quality were distinguished from unchecked tones produced by middle aged speakers from central and southern Taiwan but not by young speakers.

Voice quality of falling tones in taiwan min
This study compared the voice quality of high and low falling unchecked and checked tones. Spectral tilt measured as H0A2 was taken from the syllable midpoint of second, third and four syllables in SVO sentences. Results showed that the voice quality of checked tones was not always creakier than unchecked tones. The voice quality of a syllable at the end of an utterance was not creakier than a ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Min on Dialectal Variations of Mandarin Tonal Realization
This paper investigated the effect of Min on dialectal variations of Mandarin tonal realization. Experiment 1 recruited 12 females, 7 from China and 5 from Taiwan. Results showed that tones in Taiwan had lower pitch register than those in China. Experiment 2 tested 20 subjects, half from Taipei and half from Taichung. Results showed that Taichung had lower pitch register than Taipei. It is surm...
متن کاملInvestigating the formal effect of rear wall structure on acoustic parameters of speech halls (Research Article)
Referring to the rear wall in a hall is the furthest element rather than the voice source, therefor the reflections of this structural member play important role in music and speech intelligibly, especially for one-third behind audiences. Hence the form of these structures can be very effective in the acoustical quality of speech halls and auditoria. In this study, four formic structures are ex...
متن کاملVoice Production Mechanisms of Vibrato in Noh
Vibrato used in Noh play was investigated using electroglottographic and acoustical analyses. Laryngeal movements were successfully obtained from the EGG signal and its derivative in order to study how the peculiar and expressive voice qualities were produced during vibrato. The slow wide vibrato of Noh was achieved not only by the F0 modulation but also by changing the degree of constriction a...
متن کاملVocal quality factors: analysis, synthesis, and perception.
The purpose of this study was to examine several factors of vocal quality that might be affected by changes in vocal fold vibratory patterns. Four voice types were examined: modal, vocal fry, falsetto, and breathy. Three categories of analysis techniques were developed to extract source-related features from speech and electroglottographic (EGG) signals. Four factors were found to be important ...
