the phoneme /l/ is one of the phonemes of persian, which has different origins. a few of which is unknown. this article studies the historical change of /l/ phoneme and phonemes and clusters which are the origins of /l/, from proto indo- european to indo- iranian, old iranian and middle and new persian. in adition, the historical change of other phonems such as group of consonants , which are o...

In spoken word recognition, one of the crucial point is to identify the vowel phonemes. Vowel phonemes are used to combine two or more consonant phonemes in most of the words spoken, and the meaning of the words changes with the change of vowels. Therefore, in order to recognize a word, identification of vowel phoneme is as important as the identification of constituent consonant phonemes. This...

The durations of phonemes varies for different speakers. To this end, the correlations between phonemes across different speakers are studied and a novel approach to predict unknown phoneme durations from the values of known phoneme durations for a particular speaker are presented, based on the maximum likelihood criterion. Several interesting patterns are observed. Phonemes from the same broad...

In this paper, we describe a text independent, phoneme based speaker identiication system which uses adaptive wavelets to model the phonemes. This system identiies a speaker by modeling a very short segment of phonemes and then by clustering all the phonemes belonging to the same speaker into one class. The classiication is achieved by using a two layer feed forward neural network classiier. Th...

ON A COMMON SET OF BROAD PHONEMES Kay M. Berkling ([email protected]), Etienne Barnard ([email protected]) Center for Spoken Language Understanding, Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology, 20000 N.W. Walker Road, P.O. Box 91000, Portland, OR 97291-1000, USA ABSTRACT We describe a system designed to recognize the language of an utterance spoken by any native speaker over the te...

Language identification is an important issue in many speech applications. We address this problem from the point of view of classification of sequences of phonemes, given the assumption that each language has its own phonotactic characteristics. In order to achieve this classification, we have to decode the speech utterances in terms of phonemes. The set of phonemes must be the same for all th...

In this paper, we propose a method to predict the articulatory movements of phonemes that are difficult for a speaker to pronounce correctly because those phonemes are not seen in the native language of that speaker. When one wants to predict the articulatory movements of those unseen phonemes, since he/she has difficulty to generate those sounds, the conventional acoustic-to-articulatory mappi...

We have developed a system that recognizes the facial expressions in Taiwanese Sign Language (TSL) using a phoneme-based strategy. A facial expression is decomposed into three facial phonemes, including eyebrow, eye, and mouth. A fast method is proposed for locating the areas facial phonemes. The shapes of the phonemes were then matched by the deformable template method, giving feature points r...

It is known that nasal consonants and vowels are more effective than other phonemes for human speaker recognition. However, the influence of channel transmissions on the speakerdiscriminative capabilities of phonemes has not yet been examined. Specifically, the speech bandwidth has a strong effect on the human speaker recognition performance and also on the speech intelligibility. The phonemes ...

in sacred text of the religion of yari, we are confronted with some emphasized moral principles which have been stated by the great men of this religion repeatedly. these moral principles are honesty, purity, inexistence and rada. this article attempts to study the root of the term of rada in yaresan literature. it specifies that the term rada in yaresan literature which means donation, generos...
