Relation of formants and subglottal resonances in Hungarian vowels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relation between vowel formants and subglottal resonances (SGRs) has previously been explored in English, German, and Korean. Results from these studies indicate that vowel classes are categorically separated by SGRs. We extended this work to Hungarian vowels, which have not been related to SGRs before. The Hungarian vowel system contains paired long and short vowels as well as a series of front rounded vowels, similar to German but more complex than English and Korean. Results indicate that SGRs separate vowel classes in Hungarian as in English, German, and Korean, and uncover additional patterns of vowel formants relative to the third subglottal resonance (Sg3). These results have implications for understanding phonological distinctive features, and applications in automatic speech technologies.

Context and Speaker Dependency in the Relation of Vowel Formants and Subglottal Resonances - Evidence from Hungarian
Subglottal resonances are claimed to divide front/back vowels and low/high vowels in several languages, including Hungarian. However, some ‘recalcitrant’ vowels appear to resist this mould. We therefore performed a careful analysis of the role coarticulation and speaker-dependent effects might play in the recalcitrance of these vowels in Hungarian. The present analyzis focused on various stop c...
متن کاملComparison of manual and automated estimates of subglottal resonances
This study compares manual measurements of the first two subglottal resonances to the results of an automated measurement procedure for the same quantities. We also briefly sketch the sensor prototype that is used for the measurements. The subglottal resonances are presented in the space spanned by the vowels’ first two formants. A three axis acceleration sensor is gently pressed at the neck of...
متن کاملAcceleration Sensor Based Estimates of Subglottal Resonances: Short vs. Long Vowels
The current version ACCV4 of our acceleration sensor device is presented and used to study the influence of vowel duration to the estimates of resonances of the subglottal system of 7 female and 9 male speakers. The sensor records movements in all three spatial directions below 5 kHz. It is gently pressed to the neck of the speaker in front of the cricothyroid ligament, a soft tissue in the low...
متن کاملAnalysis and Automatic Estimation of Children's Subglottal Resonances
Models and measurements of subglottal resonances are generally made from adult data, but there are several applications in which it would be useful to know about subglottal resonances in children. We therefore conducted an analysis of both new and old recordings of children’s subglottal acoustics in order 1) to produce a fuller picture of the variability of children’s subglottal resonances, and...
متن کاملResonances and wave propagation velocity in the subglottal airways.
Previous studies of subglottal resonances have reported findings based on relatively few subjects, and the relations between these resonances, subglottal anatomy, and models of subglottal acoustics are not well understood. In this study, accelerometer signals of subglottal acoustics recorded during sustained [a:] vowels of 50 adult native speakers (25 males, 25 females) of American English were...
