The Project "The dialect of Rahovec and the surrounding area" is fifteen years work dialectologists sociolinguistics issues this area. During description linguistic situation area, we have found meeting points with those whole north-east gege dialect. best matches been in Ratkoc’s areal. Whereas two other areala, Krusha, come across some differentiating points, whether phonetic, morphologic or ...

This chapter describes the broad phonemic transcription in the CGN. First a broad overview of phonetic annotations in Dutch corpora is provided and a number of crucial dimensions are discussed: the source of annotation (human or automatic), the type of material involved, the level of transcription and the symbol set and transcription conventions. These dimensions serve as a guide through a numb...

This study examines the phonetic properties of lexical stress in English produced by Persian speakers learning English as a foreign language. The four most reliable phonetic correlates of English lexical stress, namely fundamental frequency, duration, intensity, and vowel quality were measured across Persian speakers’ production of the stressed and unstressed syllables of five English disyllabi...

In this paper, we construct multi-path syllable models using phonetic knowledge for initialising the parallel paths, and a data-driven solution for their re-estimation. We hypothesise that the richer topology of multi-path syllable models would be better at accounting for pronunciation variation than context-dependent phone models that can only account for the effects of left and right neighbou...

The linguistic means of creating a language game in French advertising texts at the phonetic, lexical, word-formation, grammatical levels are investigated. Homophones and paronyms distinguished on phonetic level, stylistic tropes – figures grammatical, contamination word-formation. Cases combinations different some established.

While developing lexical resources for a particular language variety (Viennese), we experimented with a set of 5 different phonetic encodings, termed phone sets, used for unit selection speech synthesis. We started with a very rich phone set based on phonological considerations and covering as much phonetic variability as possible, which was then reduced to smaller sets by applying transformati...
