A New Approach to the Formant Measuring Problem
Proceedings, 2019 Formants are characteristic frequency components in human speech that are caused by resonances in the vocal tract during speech production. They are of primary concern in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition.

Developmental 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 ...

Autism Research, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT A recent “hierarchical” reinterpretation of the neurological basis of autism suggests that in autism with early language delay, perceptual processing may be favored over the integration of transmodal information. This model is largely based on neuroimaging findings relating to visual processing, but predicts a corresponding reorganization in ...

Modelling Speech Signals Using Formant Frequencies as an Intermediate Representation
, 2007 Multiple-level segmental hidden Markov models (M-SHMMs) in which the relationship between symbolic and acoustic representations of speech is regulated by a formant-based intermediate representation are considered.

Maximal vowel space method in analysis of vowels in prelingual speech phase [PDF]
Specijalna Edukacija i Rehabilitacija, 2014 The main problems in the analysis of vowels which occur in prelingual speech phase are centralization of utterance and unknown dimension of vocal tract.

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue
Evolutionary 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

Context-related acoustic variation in male fallow deer (Dama dama) groans.
PLoS ONE, 2011 While social and behavioural contexts are known to affect the acoustic structure of vocal signals in several mammal species, few studies have investigated context-related acoustic variation during inter-sexual advertisement and/or intra-sexual ...

Masking of tones and formant frequencies [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992 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.

Cross‐Linguistic Suffix Preference: Typological or Cognitive Bias?
Annals 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.

Sound Guides Object Size Choices in African Penguins Through Pitch–Size Association
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.African penguins use auditory pitch to guide visual size choices. When hearing high‐pitched sounds, they preferentially approach and gaze at smaller objects, and when hearing low‐pitched sounds, they preferentially approach and gaze at larger ones.
