THE IMPACT OF LEXICAL STRESS TYPE AND POSITION OF A VOWEL WITHIN A PHRASE ON VOWEL FORMANT BANDWIDTHS

open access: yes, 2020
The article sets out to explore the impact of different types of lexical stress and word position within a phrase as well as the interaction of these factors on formant bandwidths.

Formant estimation for speech recognition [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing, 1998
This paper presents a new method for estimating formant frequencies. The formant model is based on a digital resonator. Each resonator represents a segment of the short-time power spectrum. The complete spectrum is modeled by a set of digital resonators connected in parallel.

An acoustic study on monophthongs in Central Australian Aboriginal English

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract We present an acoustic analysis of monophthongal vowel production in Central Australian Aboriginal English (CAAE), providing one of the first systematic examinations of this variety spoken by English‐as‐a‐first‐language (L1) speakers in Mparntwe/Alice Springs, Australia.

Formant frequency estimations of whispered speech in Chinese

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2009
Formant frequencies are important cues for characterizing whispered speech. However, it is difficult to exactly estimate its formant by the conventional linear prediction coding algorithm.

Newborns' Language Discrimination May Not Reflect Sensitivity to Speech Rhythm: Evidence From Computational Modeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Neural Resolution of Formant Frequencies in the Primary Auditory Cortex of Rats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Pulse-resonance sounds play an important role in animal communication and auditory object recognition, yet very little is known about the cortical representation of this class of sounds.

Hybrid Autoregressive Resonance Estimation and Density Mixture Formant Tracking Model

open access: yesIEEE 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.

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle

Cross‐Linguistic Suffix Preference: Typological or Cognitive Bias?

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.
Languages can be shaped by pre‐existing cognitive machinery that makes certain properties more processable. Such properties are more frequent across world languages. Most languages prefer suffixes to prefixes for grammatical meanings. Whether such typological bias is shaped by cognitive bias is debated.
