These features led to the term foreign accent syndrome (FAS), a speech disorder with perceptual features that suggest an indistinct, non-native speaking accent. Also correctly kn...
متن کاملForeign accent identification based on prosodic parameters
In this paper we propose an automatic approach for foreign accent identification. Knowledge of the speaker’s origin allows to adapt acoustic models for non-native speech recognition. In this study, we use a statistical approach based on prosodic parameters. This approach relies on the fact that prosody is different between languages, and has been done within the framework of the HIWIRE (Human I...
