Laryngealization and Breathiness in Persian
نویسنده
چکیده
Persian has sequences of two vowels separated by an intervening glottal consonant (/h/ or //). The VG(lottal)V sequence becomes reduced in certain occurrences, with the perceptual effect of the loss of the glottal consonant. The purpose of this study is to provide an acoustic description of VGV sequences in reduced forms. A production study examined three acoustic measurements of phonation types: H1-H2, H1-F1, and F0. The measurements were made at 15 ms time intervals throughout the second vowel to determine the time course of phonation effect. The issue of interest is what properties of VGV remain where G is lost. It is shown that // will be preserved as vowel laryngealization and /h/ as breathiness.

Compensatory lengthening in Persian: the timing of non-modal phonation
Persian has CVGC (or CVCG) sequences (G, a glottal consonant; /h/ or /?/) which become reduced in certain occurrences, with the perceptual effect of the loss of the glottal consonant.

متن کاملLaryngealization and features for Chinese tonal recognition
It is well known that the lowest tone in Mandarin, a language without contrastive phonation, often co-occurs with laryngealization/creaky voice quality, and we provide evidence that this is also the case for the lowest tone in Cantonese. However, the effects of laryngealization on f0 feature extraction for tonal recognition, as well as the potential of laryngealization as a feature for improvin...
متن کاملThe benefits of vowel laryngealization on the perception of coda stops in English
It has been previously noted that voiceless coda stops in English may undergo optional glottalization, i.e. they are produced with simultaneous glottal closure. The glottal closure usually produces laryngeal coarticulation on the previous vowel in the form of laryngealization (creaky voice). In this paper, the effects of vowel laryngealization on coda stop perception were investigated. Eighteen...
متن کاملLexical Effects on English Vowel Laryngealization
It is known that lexical statistics can influence coarticulation. For example, more confusable words (i.e. those with a low frequency relative to their phonological neighbors) have been shown to exhibit more nasal and vowel-to-vowel coarticulation than less confusable words in English and French. In this paper, we give evidence that another type of coarticulation, laryngealized phonation on vow...
متن کاملAnalysis of glottal stops in speech signals
During production of glottal stops the glottal vibration has unequal cycles and is caused by laryngealization. While one can perceive the features of laryngealization in the speech, it is difficult to analyse the signal to detect these source features from the standard spectrum-based analysis methods. In this paper we propose methods to extract the voice source vibration characteristics, and sh...
