PURPOSE To determine the relative importance of acoustic parameters (fundamental frequency [F0], formant frequencies [FFs], aperiodicity, and spectrum level [SL]) on voice gender perception, the authors used a novel parameter-morphing approach that ...

Formant frequency estimation of high-pitched vowels using weighted linear prediction.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013All-pole modeling is a widely used formant estimation method, but its performance is known to deteriorate for high-pitched voices. In order to address this problem, several all-pole modeling methods robust to fundamental frequency have been proposed ...

It is common practice in sociophonetics to measure vowel formants at one (monophthongs) or two (diphthongs) time points. This paper compares this traditional target approach with two dynamic approaches for investigating regional patterns of variation ...

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
Formants, or vocal-tract resonances, have played a dominant role in the study of both speech production and perception, particularly with vowels. They form the basis of descriptions of speech in phonetics, speech pathology, speaker verification, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, as well as in many other fields.

Formant-Amplitude Measurements
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1963Five alternative measures of formant amplitude are defined from circuit-theory analysis of speech production. Each of these is studied analytically as a function of increasing voice fundamental frequency, assuming constant shape and size of voice-source pulses. Some of the formant-amplitude measures display periodic fluctuations with maxima each time a

Vocal tract length and formant frequency dispersion correlate with body size in rhesus macaques.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997Body weight, length, and vocal tract length were measured for 23 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) of various sizes using radiographs and computer graphic techniques.

The Formants of Fricative Consonants
Language and Speech, 1965Spectral analysis of American English, Swedish and Polish fricatives shows that these sounds may be classified according to the relations between their formant frequencies and formant levels. Three binary distinctive features at the acoustic-phonetic (not necessarily phonemic) level are postulated: spread/compressed formants (F4–F2); higher/lower ...

This paper describes analysis and synthesis methods for a digital formant synthesizer. It is shown that synthetic speech generated using excitation pulses which resemble the true glottal volume-velocity excitation waveform is preferred over speech synthesized using a two-pole glottal filter and impulse excitation.

Source–filter theory assumes that calls are generated by a vocal source and are subsequently filtered by the vocal tract. The air in the vocal tract vibrates preferentially at certain resonant frequencies, called formants.
