Articulation Rate and Speech Rhythm in Child-Directed Speech and Adult-Directed Speech
Journal of Indian Speech Language & Hearing Association, 2022Introduction Studies have demonstrated that mothers exaggerate linguistic, segmental and supra-segmental properties of Child-Directed Speech. However, these studies have majorly focused on acoustic characteristics of pitch and its related measures. There has been relatively little research on speech rhythm.

ICASSP '84. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1984
The speech direction finder described here is a relatively simple device based on an off the shelf microcomputer. It can provide the direction to a talker to within 3 degrees of azimuth angle on a single spoken syllable, will only respond to speech, and when used with Wallace linear array microphones can provide this at distances of 50 feet or more ...

Can We Achieve High-quality Direct Speech-to-Speech Translation without Parallel Speech Data?
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational LinguisticsRecently proposed two-pass direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) models decompose the task into speech-to-text translation (S2TT) and text-to-speech (TTS) within an end-to-end model, yielding promising results.

Constructing the Corpus of Infant-Directed Speech and Infant-Like Robot-Directed Speech
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction, 2015The characteristics of the spoken language used to address infants have been eagerly studied as a part of the language acquisition research. Because of the uncontrollability factor with regard to the infants, the features and roles of infant- directed speech were tried to be revealed by the comparison of speech directed toward infants and that toward ...

Keeping Count: Direct Speech in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel
Narrative, 2019:In this paper, I employ large-scale data analysis to highlight trends in the use of direct speech across a corpus of 898 novels published in Britain between 1789 and 1901. The paper begins with a brief description of my quantitative method.

Function of infant-directed speech
Human Nature, 1999The relationship between a biological process and a behavioral trait indicates a proximate mechanism by which natural selection can act. In that context, examining an aspect of infant health is one method of investigating the adaptive significance of infant-directed speech (ID speech), and it could help to explain the widespread use of this ...

Emacspeak---direct speech access
Proceedings of the second annual ACM conference on Assistive technologies - Assets '96, 1996Emacspeak is a full-fledged speech output inter- face to Emacs, and is being used to provide direct speech access to a UNIX workstation. The kind of speech access provided by Emacspeak is qual- itatively different from what conventional screen- readers provide -emacspeak makes applications speak- as opposed to ...

Direct Speech in Beowulf and Other Old English Narrative Poems
English Studies, 2018Can Old English poetry be interpreted by modern readers as if it were no more alien than literary works composed a decade or a century ago? Can we assume that the ironies, unities, ambiguities, and fine subtleties valued in modern literary culture were ...

AT&T Technical Journal, 1986
This paper presents an overview of the current activities in speech research. We will discuss the state of the art in speech coding, text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition, and speaker recognition. In the speech coding area, current algorithms perform well at bit rates down to 9.6 kb/s, and the research is directed at bringing the rate for high ...
