the smallest structure of a language which makes words, sentences and verses and is the basic element of the quranic miracle is a phoneme. the phonemes are studied in two aspects: 1. each phoneme itself that is concentrated on the qualities and the vent which its sounds out; 2. the combination of the phonemes which is concentrated on the segments, spaces and … the interpreters of the quran have...

One of the important tasks at any stage teaching a foreign language, including French, is to maintain and improve pronunciation skills. The phonetic process that facilitates formation such skills rhyme.

The aim of this study is to answer two questions regarding the use of phonetic information for speaker modelling. We formulate answers for (1) what are the discriminative powers of broad phonetic classes for the task of speaker identification? (2) Are the phonetic speaker models more suitable for speaker recognition than standard models?

I will propose that a model of phonetic change which adequately captures these effects, describes it as a change in language specific phonetic implementation of phonological objects. Phonetic change, then, can be localized to the implementation of particular phonological features, or bundle of features. I will conclude with some remarks about the consequences of this model for the nature of pho...

considering the importance of of muallaqat in arabic literature, as well as its importance in the various sciences of language and literature, grammatical and contain many of the jahelliah words so many of commentators paid attention to them. one of those topics that attract attention and its worthy of research and investigation are etymology and phonetic issues. in the present study, it is int...

In this paper, we describe the work on Chinese multi-dialect speech processing. Based on the phonetic analysis of ten Chinese dialects, we have created a Chinese super phonetic system for the Chinese speech recognition. To exam this phonetic system and develop Chinese dialect speech technology, we are building a multi-dialect speech corpus, which includes 10 dialect areas and 2000 speakers.

The main goal of this work is to develop an alternative methodology for acoustic{ phonetic modelling of speech sounds. The approach utilizes a segment{based framework to capture the dynamical behavior and statistical dependencies of the acoustic attributes used to represent the speech waveform. Temporal behavior is modelled explicitly by creating dynamic tracks of the acoustic attributes used t...

This study investigated whether specific auditory or cognitive skills were linked to initial sensitivity to a novel phonetic contrast (Korean lenis-aspirated contrast) or to the degree of learning following computer-based phonetic training. Correlations between auditory or cognitive skills and phonetic perception were generally fairly weak, with measures of frequency acuity and attentional swit...

The quality of corpus-based text-to-speech (TTS) systems depends strongly on the consistency of boundary placements during phonetic alignments. Expert human transcribers use visually represented acoustic cues in order to consistently place boundaries at phonetic transitions according to a set of conventions. We present some features commonly (and informally) used as aid when performing manual s...

This paper presents a phonetic conversion system with phonological knowledge for Galician. The system allows us to evaluate several phonological processes, like syllabification or phonological derivation, as well as to transcript lexicons with phonetic annotation of different linguistic varieties automatically. The system consists of the following modules: (i) phonological conversion, which gen...
