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.

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.

Intrinsic normalization and extrinsic denormalization of formant data of vowels [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Using a known speaker-intrinsic normalization procedure, formant data are scaled by the reciprocal of the geometric mean of the first three formant frequencies. This reduces the influence of the talker but results in a distorted vowel space. The proposed speaker-extrinsic procedure re-scales the normalized values by the mean formant values of vowels ...

Free-Ranging Male Koalas Use Size-Related Variation in Formant Frequencies to Assess Rival Males

PLoS ONE, 2013
Although the use of formant frequencies in nonhuman animal vocal communication systems has received considerable recent interest, only a few studies have examined the importance of these acoustic cues to body size during intra-sexual competition between ...

Gharial acoustic signaling: Novel underwater pops are temporally based, context‐dependent, seasonally stable, male‐specific, and individually distinctive

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 415-443, March 2025.
Male gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) produce loud underwater POPs by rapid jaw clapping 1–3×. POPs are temporally based, context‐dependent, seasonally stable, and individually distinctive. The bulbous, cartilaginous “ghara” atop the snout is a sexually dimorphic unique feature.

Frequency Tracking: LMS and RLS Applied to Speech Formant Estimation (2000) [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Introduction Several speech processing algorithms assume the signal is stationary during short intervals (approximately 20 to 30 ms). This assumption is valid for several applications, but it is too restrictive in some contexts. This work investigates the application of adaptive signal processing to the problem of estimating the formant frequencies of ...

Testing sociolinguistic theory and methods in world Englishes

World Englishes, Volume 44, Issue 1-2, Page 26-42, March-June 2025.
Abstract This article assesses mainstream sociolinguistic theory and methods in the context of world Englishes. Despite its obvious applicability, sociolinguistic theory has not always been the primary analytic model for world Englishes. The multilingual and sometimes mobile circumstances of world Englishes contexts do not always fit the usual ...

Hybrid Autoregressive Resonance Estimation and Density Mixture Formant Tracking Model

IEEE Access, 2018
A novel formant tracker is proposed using the mixture models oft densities (tMMs) for vocal tract resonance frequencies estimated with a hybrid linear prediction (HLP) method.

Ultra2Speech -- A Deep Learning Framework for Formant Frequency Estimation and Tracking from Ultrasound Tongue Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Thousands of individuals need surgical removal of their larynx due to critical diseases every year and therefore, require an alternative form of communication to articulate speech sounds after the loss of their voice box. This work addresses the articulatory-to-acoustic mapping problem based on ultrasound (US) tongue images for the development of a ...

On regression modeling in varieties research

World Englishes, Volume 44, Issue 1-2, Page 57-77, March-June 2025.
Abstract One particularly prominent methodological development in linguistics is what has been termed the “quantitative turn”: Not only are more and more studies using statistical tools to explore data and to test hypotheses, the complexity of the statistical methods employed is growing as well.
