Dots and Acute Accent Shapes in the Dobrejšo Gospel [PDF]
This paper examines the distribution of three types of sporadic and infrequent diacritics in the Dobrejšo Gospel and their functions: a dot or acute-accent shape over a liquid consonant letter in OCS trъt/trьt formations, and, more rarely, over other ...

Sources of variability in consonant perception of normal-hearing listeners.
Responses obtained in consonant perception experiments typically show a large variability across stimuli of the same phonetic identity. The present study investigated the influence of different potential sources of this response variability.

IDENTITY MATCHING OF CONSONANT‐VOWEL‐CONSONANT WORDS BY PREREADERS [PDF]
Using an identity matching‐to‐sample procedure, normally developing prereaders who matched individual letters with high accuracy (e.g., m and s) did not show high accuracy in matching three‐letter printed words that differed only in the first letter (e.g., mad and sad).

Automatic Estimation of Intelligibility Measure for Consonants in Speech
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 ...

Contributions of temporal encodings of voicing, voicelessness, fundamental frequency, and amplitude variation to audiovisual and auditory speech perception [PDF]
Auditory and audio-visual speech perception was investigated using auditory signals of invariant spectral envelope that temporally encoded the presence of voiced and voiceless excitation, variations in amplitude envelope and F-0.
