Subphonemic and suballophonic consonant variation : the role of the phoneme inventory [PDF]
Consonants exhibit more variation in their phonetic realization than is typically acknowledged, but that variation is linguistically constrained. Acoustic analysis of both read and spontaneous speech reveals that consonants are not necessarily realized ...

Discovering Dynamical Laws for Speech Gestures
Abstract A fundamental challenge in the cognitive sciences is discovering the dynamics that govern behavior. Take the example of spoken language, which is characterized by a highly variable and complex set of physical movements that map onto the small set of cognitive units that comprise language.

Movement Epenthesis Detection for Continuous Sign Language Recognition
Automatic sign language recognition (SLR) is a current area of research as this is meant to serve as a substitute for sign language interpreters. In this paper, we present the design of a continuous SLR system that can extract out the meaningful signs ...

On parameter filtering in continuous subword-unit-based speech recognition [PDF]
Simple IIR or FIR filters have been widely used in isolated or connected word recognition tasks to filter the time sequence of speech spectral parameters, since, despite their simplicity, they significantly improve recognition performance. Those filters,

Founder effects identify languages of the earliest Americans
Abstract The known languages of the Americas comprise nearly half of the world's language families and a wide range of structural types, a level of diversity that required considerable time to develop. This paper proposes a model of settlement and expansion designed to integrate current linguistic analysis with other prehistoric research on the ...

Terminology of the growing bone: A historical study
Abstract Division of the growing long bone into individual basic parts, that is, diaphysis, metaphysis, physes and epiphyses, has become generally accepted and used. However, the origin of these terms is almost unknown. Therefore, we have analyzed the literature in order to identify their sources.
