Mapping from acoustic signals to lexical representations is a complex process mediated by a number of different levels of representation. This paper reviews properties of the phonetic and phonological levels, and hypotheses about how category structure is represented at each of these levels, and evaluates these hypotheses in light of relevant electrophysiological studies of phonetics and phonol...

The aim of the present paper is to give an overview of the investigation of the phonic articulatory systems of Polish on the basis of the detailed articulatory descriptions existent in phonetic literature and with the use computational tools. First the theoretical foundations of the phonetic grammar are briefly introduced, then the main problem of the choice of an appropriate repertory of phone...

kurdish language is one of the iranian languages and the historical study of the phonetic system of khorasan kormanji dialect, can clearly show that this language has been under the influence of iranian languages, especially persian language. the author of the article has used prof. tsablof’s (the most famous russian orientalist) publications, to show the persian language influence on khorasan ...

Traditional acoustic-phonetic approach makes use of both spectral and phonetic information when comparing the voice speakers. While units are not equally informative, context speech plays an important role in speaker verification (SV). In this paper, we propose a neural that learns to dynamically assign differentiated weights features for SV. Such form attention mask (PAM). The framework consis...

The article is devoted to the problem of identification and systematization stylistic means journalistic film texts according their linguosemiotic status. With help a number general scientific (observation, comparison, generalization, quantitative calculations) special (descriptive, functional) methods, Ukrainian-language films A. Galimov, Romanidi, H. Kovalenko were investigated. author explai...

The paper presents a technique for parsing a speech utterance from its phonetic representation. The technique is different from a conventional spoken language parsing techniques where a speech utterance is first transcribed at word-level and a syntactic structure is produced from the transcribed words. In a word-level parsing approach, an error caused by a speech recognizer propagates through t...

In this article, we present a novel forensic speaker recognition system that provides the capability to perform comparisons using both ‘traditional’ forensic phonetic parameters and ‘automatic’ spectral features in a semior fully automatic way. We evaluate this approach with simulated and real forensic case data in German, which ranges from high quality laboratory audio data to real telephone i...

Many phonetic studies have investigated cases of incomplete neutralization, where contrasts that are seemingly neutralized phonologically nevertheless leave some phonetic distinctions. The majority of this previous work, however, focuses on the case of final devoicing in different languages. Building on this body of the literature (see Braver 2013 for an overview), this paper offers a new case ...

A perennial question in linguistics concerns the nature of the relationship between phonology and phonetics. On casual observation the synchronic evidence is conflicting: while phonetically “natural” phonological processes abound, e.g., the palatalization of coronals preceding palatal vocoids, there are also plenty of examples of phonological processes for which phonetic motivation is not readi...

We exploit the unique phonetic properties of bilingual speech to ask how processes occurring during planning affect speech articulation, and whether listeners can use the phonetic modulations that occur in anticipation of a codeswitch to help restrict their lexical search to the appropriate language. An analysis of spontaneous bilingual codeswitching in the Bangor Miami Corpus (Deuchar et al., ...
