Formant estimation for speech recognition [PDF]
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
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
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.

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.
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
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
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?
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.
