Power-Weighted LPC Formant Estimation [PDF]

, 2020
A power-weighted formant frequency estimation procedure based on Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) is presented. It works by pre-emphasizing the dominant spectral components of an input signal, which allows a subsequent estimation step to extract formant ...

Auditory Emotional Prosody Perception Using Pseudo‐Speech Stimuli in Native and Non‐Native Listeners

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Anger and neutral appear to be universally recognized, whereas happiness, surprise, and panic depend more on linguistic familiarity. Pseudo‐sentences can be a valuable tool for assessing universal emotional perception, but recognition performance varies depending on the emotion type.

Exploring Inter‐Brain Coherence Between Fathers and Infants During Maternal Storytelling: An fNIRS Hyperscanning Study

Infant and Child Development, Volume 34, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT The current study examined the inter‐brain coherence (IBC) between 34 dyads of fathers and infants 7–9 months of age using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). We specifically focused on father–infant IBC to broaden the empirical base beyond the mother–infant connections, as the former has received limited attention. There were three

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Vocal fundamental and formant frequencies are honest signals of threat potential in peripubertal males.

Behavioral Ecology, 2014
Fundamental and formant frequencies influence perceived pitch and are sexually dimorphic in humans. The information content of these acoustic parameters can illuminate the forces of sexual selection shaping vocal sex differences as well as the mechanisms

Large-Scale Acoustic Characterization of Singaporean Children's English Pronunciation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this work, we investigate pronunciation differences in English spoken by Singaporean children in relation to their American and British counterparts by conducting Kmeans clustering and Archetypal analysis on selected vowel pairs and approximants. Given that Singapore adopts British English as the institutional standard due to historical reasons, one

Psychology of Language and Communication, 2018
Stimuli produced by a female speaker with four different voice qualities - modal, girlish, breathy and creaky - were manipulated to have more or less formant dispersion and were rated on four scales (dominance, attractiveness, sexiness and youthfulness ...

The Development of Indo‐Iranian Voiced Fricatives

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 97-115, March 2025.
Abstract The development of voiced sibilants is a long‐standing puzzle in Indo‐Iranian historical phonology. In Vedic, all voiced sibilants are lost from the system, but the details of this loss are complex and subject to debate. The most intriguing development concerns the word‐final ‐aḥ to ‐o in sandhi.
