Consonant gemination in Italian: the affricate and fricative case [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Consonant gemination in Italian affricates and fricatives was investigated, completing the overall study of gemination of Italian consonants. Results of the analysis of other consonant categories, i.e. stops, nasals, and liquids, showed that closure duration for stops and consonant duration for nasals and liquids, form the most salient acoustic cues to

Automatic Estimation of Intelligibility Measure for Consonants in Speech [PDF]
, 2020 In this article, we provide a model to estimate a real-valued measure of the intelligibility of individual speech segments. We trained regression models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for stop consonants \textipa{/p,t,k,b,d,g/} associated with vowel \textipa{/A/}, to estimate the corresponding Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) at which the ...

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1956 Short-time energy vs frequency spectra of stop bursts, and formant transitions in the adjacent vowel have been studied. Sound segments consisting of burst or transition alone were submitted to listeners for identification. Results are discussed with the aim of developing possible identifying criteria utilizing cues in the burst spectra and in the ...

Identification of deleted consonants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978 VC transitions have often been found to be better cues for the identification of deleted consonants than CV transitions. The lower score for CV transitions could very well be due to an interfering ’’click sensation’’ caused by the abrupt begining of these transitions. In the present investigation the abrubt onset was eliminated by replacing the deleted

Effects of Expansion on Consonant Recognition and Consonant Audibility [PDF]
Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2009 Background: Hearing aid expansion is intended to reduce the gain for low-level noise. However, expansion can also degrade low-intensity speech. Although it has been suggested that the poorer performance with expansion is due to reduced audibility, this has not been measured directly.

Lexical and syntactic gemination in Italian consonants -- Does a geminate Italian consonant consist of a repeated or a strengthened consonant? [PDF]
, 2021 Two types of consonant gemination characterize Italian: lexical and syntactic. Italian lexical gemination is contrastive, so that two words may differ by only one geminated consonant. In contrast, syntactic gemination occurs across word boundaries, and affects the initial consonant of a word in specific contexts, such as the presence of a monosyllabic ...
