Motor equivalence evidenced by articulatory modelling

چکیده
We present a method for the analysis of motor equivalence on two French corpuses, evidenced by articulatory modelling. This processing enables us to make out the individual actions of each degree of freedom of the vocal tract. We intend to define the phonetic types we are studying with a combination of degrees of freedom recruited. Such a characterisation makes it possible to account for coarticulatory processes in a coherent way. This method brings to light compensatory strategies, striking strategies of preservation of vocalic configurations in some consonants by one speaker only, and a large divergence in the strategies used by the two speakers.

AN ARTICULATORY PROSODY STUDY OF /u/: MOTOR EQUIVALENCE
Acoustic and articulatory data are presented for the vowel /u/ at 5 different prosodic boundaries in French. It is shown that although the 3 speakers studied produce similar acoustic output with lower F1 and F2 at stronger prosodic boundaries – they adopt different articulatory strategies to achieve these acoustic targets. Two of the speakers use a combination of tongue backing/raising and lip ...
متن کاملThe influence of the palate shape on articulatory token-to-token variability
Articulatory token-to-token variability not only depends on linguistic aspects like the phoneme inventory of a given language but also on speaker specific morphological and motor constraints. As has been noted previously (Perkell (1997), Mooshammer et al. (2004)) , speakers with coronally high ”domeshaped” palates exhibit more articulatory variability than speakers with coronally low ”flat” pal...
متن کاملFundamental Frequency Modelling: An Articulatory Perspective with Target Approximation and Deep Learning
Current statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS) approaches typically aim at state/frame-level acoustic modelling, which leads to a problem of frame-by-frame independence. Besides that, whichever learning technique is used, hidden Markov model (HMM), deep neural network (DNN) or recurrent neural network (RNN), the fundamental idea is to set up a direct mapping from linguistic to acoustic ...
متن کاملA Neural Network Model Of Speech Acquisition And Motor Equivalent Speech Production Running title: Speech acquisition and motor equivalence
This article describes a neural network model that addresses the acquisition of speaking skills by infants and subsequent motor equivalent production of speech sounds. The model learns two mappings during a babbling phase. A phonetic-to-orosensory mapping specifies a vocal tract target for each speech sound; these targets take the form of convex regions in orosensory coordinates defining the sh...
متن کاملON THE COMPATIBILITY OF A CRISP RELATION WITH A FUZZY EQUIVALENCE RELATION
In a recent paper, De Baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. In this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. The reasoninglargely ...
