The phonological vowel and consonant length distinctions in languages such as Hungarian may provide a constraint on the degree to which prosodic structure can influence speech segment duration. Here we show that, like many other languages, Hungarian does mark prosodic structure with durational variation, in particular, utterance-final lengthening. There is an influence of phonological vowel len...

In this paper, we propose a speaking rate compensation method using frame period and frame length adaptation. Our method decodes an input utterance using several sets of frame period and frame length parameters for speech analysis. Then, this method selects the best set with the highest score which consists of the acoustic likelihood normalized by frame period, language likelihood and insertion...

the present study provides an analysis of the correlation between acoustic properties, duration and pitch amplitude of speech associated with three basic emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference, emotionally expressed by six persian speakers. rise/fall connection model (taylor, 1995) is used to analyze acoustic parameters and measure how an utterance is modulated when ...

Hidden Markov Model is a popular statisical method that is used in continious and discrete speech recognition. The probability density function of observation vectors in each state is estimated with discrete density or continious density modeling. The performance (in correct word recognition rate) of continious density is higher than discrete density HMM, but its computation complexity is very ...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

The purpose of this research is to investigate investigated syntactic acquisition in a child with autism aged 9 years. method used using descriptive qualitative method. main data source for the topic investigation and collected directly without intermediaries. Meanwhile, secondary sources study include books, journals, articles on children's language acquisition. results found that there were 2...
