We investigate the grapheme–phoneme relation in Ukrainian and some properties of the Ukrainian version of the Cyrillic alphabet.

The processes through which readers evoke mental representations of phonological forms from print constitute a hotly debated and controversial issue in current psycholinguistics. In this paper we present a computational analysis of the grapho-phonological system of written French, and an empirical validation of some of the obtained descriptive statistics. The results provide direct evidence dem...

This study examines the role of four regions of the parietal lobe in grapheme-colour synaesthesia. TMS applied over a right parieto-occipital region disrupts performance on a synaesthetic priming task. TMS over the left parietal or a more anterior right parietal site did not have a reliable effect on synaesthesia even though one of the sites had been implicated in synaesthesia by previous fMRI ...

We describe an approach to grapheme-to-phoneme conversion which is both language-independent and data-oriented. Given a set of examples (spelling words with their associated phonetic representation) in a language, a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion system is automatically produced for that language which takes as its input the spelling of words, and produces as its output the phonetic transcripti...

Cultural, social, economic and other various environmental factors affect our language, and different words and terminology are used and coined for different contexts, which triggers quantitative change of vocabulary of a language. This paper presents a Korean grapheme-to-phoneme conversion system using a selection procedure for exceptions from added text corpus, which reflects such dynamic nat...

Being an essential part of a Korean speech recognition system and a Text-To-Speech (TTS) system, a Korean Grapheme-toPhoneme conversion system is generally composed of a set of regular rules and an exceptions dictionary [1, 2, 3]. The exceptions have been recorded in the dictionary in a simple and random manner, whereas the researches on the regular rules have been actively progressed. This pap...

The present study discusses a possible theoretical model for grapheme frequencies of Slavic alphabets. Based on previous research on Slovene, Russian, and Slovak grapheme frequencies, the negative hypergeometric distribution is presented as a model, adequate for various Slavic languages. Additionally, arguments are provided in favor of the assumption that the parameters of this model can be int...

Natural and intelligible Text to Speech (TTS) systems exist for a number of languages in the world today. However, there are many languages of the world, for which building TTS systems is still prohibitive, due to the lack of linguistic resources and data. Some of these languages are spoken by a large population of the world. Others are primarily spoken languages, or languages with large non-li...

Little is known about how the properties of our private mental world relate to the physical and functional properties of our brain. Studying synesthesia, where a particular experience evokes a separate additional sensory experience, offers the unique opportunity to study phenomenological experiences as a stable trait in healthy subjects. A common form of synesthesia is grapheme-color synesthesi...

Both dictionary-based and rule-based methods on grapheme-to-phoneme conversion have their own advantages and limitations. For example, a large sized phonetic dictionary and complex morphophonemic rules are required for the dictionary-based method and the LTS(letter to sound) rule-based method itself cannot model the complete morphophonemic constraints. This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme...
