Archives of Acoustics, 2014 The problem of perceptual boundaries between the male, female and child's voices was considered. The experimental material included 730 synthetic realisations of the six Polish oral vowels: /i/, /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/ and /u/. "Target" male, female and child'

Acoustic-phonetic analysis of Japanese [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984 How difficult would it be to convert a synthesis by rule program for English (DECtalk) to speak Japanese? What is the ideal, hopefully minimal, corpus of recorded materials that would have to be spectrally analyzed in order to derive sufficient information for a first order approximation to Japanese?

Assimilation of Voicing in Czech Speakers of English: The Effect of the Degree of Accentedness [PDF]
, 2014 Czech and English are languages which differ with respect to the implementation of voicing. Unlike in English, there is a considerable agreement between phonological (systemic) and phonetic (actual) voicing in Czech, and, more importantly, the two ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech. We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...

Acoustic-phonetic variability of Polish vowels
Archives of Acoustics, 2014 Since the early 1960's speech sounds have been described at three levels of abstraction: intrinsic-allophonic, extrinsic-allophonic and phonemic. The acoustic features of Polish vowels have been investigated at the first and the last of these levels by ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

Clicks, stop bursts, vocoids and the timing of articulatory gestures in Kinyarwanda
Studies in African Linguistics, 2016 This paper shows that differences in timing and coordination of articulatory gestures in Kinyarwanda’s complex consonants trigger the emergence of epiphenomenal clicks.

Perception of Polish accent in a re-synthesized speech signal
Archives of Acoustics, 2014 The utterance /vidzitceteras/ was spoken, in three versions, with the accent (I) on the first, (II) on the second and (IV) on the fourth syllable. Using a package of computer programs for speech processing which executes analysis and synthesis by linear ...
