Inspired by the success of English grapheme-to-phoneme research in speech synthesis, many researchers have proposed phoneme-based English-to-Chinese transliteration models. However, such approaches have severely suffered from the errors in Chinese phoneme-to-grapheme conversion. To address this issue, we propose a new English-to-Chinese transliteration model and make systematic comparisons with...

We estimated the perceptual entropy rate of the phonemes of American English and found that the upper limit of the perceptual entropy of voiced phonemes is approximately 1.4 bit/sample, whereas the perceptual entropy of unvoiced phonemes is approximately 0.9 bit/sample. Results indicate that a simple voiced/unvoiced classi cation is suboptimal when trying to minimize bit rate. We used two di er...

A speech signal contains many levels of information. Speech conveys the information about the language being spoken, the emotion, gender, and the identity of the speaker. Features parameters extracted from speech are very useful for speaker recognition as well as speech recognition. In this paper, the features LPC and MFCC are computed of Assamese vowel phonemes which will be helpful to develop...

This paper proposes a paradigm where commonly made segmental pronunciation errors are modeled as pair-wise confusions between two or more phonemes in the language that is being learnt. The method uses an ensemble of support vector machine classifiers with time varying Mel frequency cepstral features to distinguish between several pairs of phonemes. These classifiers are then applied to classify...

This article discusses so-called inaccurate rhymes in Old Norse dróttkvætt poetry and their bearing on the phoneme structure of Norse. Inaccurate between /ǫ/ /a/ do occur, but were to some extent avoided poems eleventh twelfth century. The same applies /ǫ́/ /á/ second half avoidance confirms status as a by providing, indirectly, an opposition /ǫ́/. Furthermore, diphthong /ja/ vowel used infrequen...

This paper focuses on loanword phonology in the context of Spanish words that have become part English lexicon 20th century. The background section shows attention has been paid to used from a lexical point view, but scarcely regarding phonology. Furthermore, few existing studies do not deal depth with and as an example crosslinguistic contact. Therefore, this aims at contributing explanation p...

Language occupies a very crucial role for humans in this life, especially terms of communication with other humans. One the language skills used to communicate indirectly is writing skill. In world writing, mistakes have become natural thing. Therefore, study aims improve and describe various errors Indonesian at phonological morphological levels story synopsis text by students class V SD Neger...
