In this article we advise to adopt the adaptive technique of acoustic model in the automatic segmentation and labeling of speech corpus. Since the precision of the data segmentation only based on speaker independent model is not good enough, we should transform the speaker independent model into the speaker dependent one. The training method leading to speaker dependent model needs a large amou...

Previous research on language attrition has distinguished between internally and externally motivated change and between convergent and divergent change, with most literature focusing on speech communities that have undergone either one or the other type of change. In this paper, I argue that these types of change may coexist within the same community or even the same speaker with the result th...

Hugo Pipping was the first person to officially function as a phonetics teacher at the University of Helsinki. His most important contribution to Finnish phonetics was the introduction of scientific physiological research methods into the study of speech. Especially, he used the Phonautograph/Sprachzeichner developed by Victor Hensen in Kiel to manually analyse the spectral structure of vowel s...

The notion of acoustic distance figures into many aspects phonetics, including phonological neighborhoods. A measurement word-level useful for cognitive modeling must account two listener characteristics: sensitivity to differences and duration discrepancies between words. present work used dynamic time warping measure how accumulates words over time. results a rating task with synthesized vowe...

This is a brief outlook of experiences during more than 50 years in phonetics and speech research. I will have something to say about my own scientific carrier, the growth of our department at KTH, and I will end up with an overview of research objectives in phonetics and a summary of my present activities.
