Pitch Strength & Percent Vocal Creak to Assess Treatment Response in Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia
Pitch Strength (PS) and Percent Vocal Creak (%VC) were measured before and after botulinum neurotoxin treatment in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD). While PS and %VC correlated with changes in disruption frequency and perceptual severity, they did not demonstrate robust group‐level treatment sensitivity.

The perceptual reality of a formant frequency [PDF]
A series of vowels similar to [ɪ] was synthesized using a different constant value of fundamental frequency (f0) for each member. As f0 ranged from 133 to 200 Hz, harmonics either fell exactly at the first formant frequency (F1) or a pair of harmonics straddled F1 with varying degrees of skew and thus differing relative amplitudes. The presumed task of

Image Coding and Decoding by Using Wavelet Transform [PDF]
Human perception of image is, in part, reliant on detection of formant frequencies and their transitions times. Subjects utilize formant transition length to categorizei looks.

Acoustic Measurements of Speech and Voice in Men with Angle Class II, Division 1, Malocclusion
Introduction The acoustic analysis of speech (measurements of the fundamental frequency and formant frequencies) of different vowels produced by speakers with the Angle class II, division 1, malocclusion can provide information about the relationship ...

Beyond Group Outcomes: Gender‐Affirming Glottoplasty and Postoperative Voice Therapy
ABSTRACT Objective(s) To describe outcomes of gender‐affirming glottoplasty with adjunctive voice therapy in trans women and explore relationships between acoustic and patient‐reported measures of voice. Method A prospective, descriptive and exploratory study included 58 trans women undergoing glottoplasty performed and followed in a single ...

An acoustic and articulatory description of the Romanian vocalic system [PDF]
This paper presents an acoustic and articulatory description of the seven standard Romanian vowels /i, ɨ, u, e, ə, o, a/. By revisiting previous instrumental studies (Avram 1963, Şuteu 1963, Teodorescu 1985, Renwick 2012), we offer a new interpretation ...

Static and dynamic formant scaling conveys body size and aggression
When producing intimidating aggressive vocalizations, humans and other animals often extend their vocal tracts to lower their voice resonance frequencies (formants) and thus sound big.

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

Masking of tones and formant frequencies [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to find out whether results of auditory masking theory, established primarily for pure tones, can be used to predict masking of vowel formant frequencies by broadband noise maskers. For this purpose, three sets of 2AFC experiments were conducted.

Identifying acoustic cues for dialect profiling: Policing in multilingual communities of India
A multilingual country such as India with numerous languages and dialects provides fertile grounds for evasive language crimes. From threat letters to ransom demands, the scope of crime is huge.
