A Phonemic and Acoustic Analysis of Hindko Fricatives

Acta Linguistica Asiatica, 2015
The Hindko language is mainly spoken in the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhaw, Pakistan. It relates to the Indo-Aryan family of languages. This paper focusses on the phonemic and acoustic analysis of Hindko fricatives.

Effects of Two Linguistically Proximal Varieties on the Spectral and Coarticulatory Properties of Fricatives: Evidence from Athenian Greek and Cypriot Greek

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Several studies have explored the acoustic structure of fricatives, yet there has been very little acoustic research on the effects of dialects on the production of fricatives.

The explicit instruction and its effects in production and perception of Brazilian Portuguese anterior fricatives by Latin-American Spanish speakers

Matraga, 2018
In Portuguese, voiceless and voiced anterior fricatives constitute phonemes and can contrast (CAMARA JR, 1977). In Spanish, whi­le voiceless fricatives form phonemes, voiced fricatives only appe­ar in this language or as positional allophones or in cases

Resyllabification Reconsidered: On the Durational Properties of Word-Final /s/ in Spanish

Laboratory Phonology, 2016
Word-final consonants in Spanish are commonly assumed to undergo resyllabification across a word boundary before a following vowel, e.g., /los#otros/ 'the others' is realised as [lo.so.tros].

Asymmetries in vowel-fricative and fricative-vowel information [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990
Vocalic formant transitions have been shown to affect identification of both initial and final fricatives. However, Soli and Mann [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 1 73, S53 (1983)] found that transitions did not contribute as much to final as to initial fricative identification.

On some features of consonants in Indian English [PDF]

Bucharest Working Papers in Linguistics, 2011
The paper aims to show that although the inventory of consonantal phonemes in Indian English does not differ markedly from that of RP, there are some aspects related mainly to different articulations of the sounds discussed which make it sound very ...

Comparative Study of different types of RNN in Speech Classification [PDF]

The Egyptian Journal of Language Engineering, 2021
This paper introduces different models for pre-processing classification and their performance in Automatic Speech Recognition system. Different Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures have been tested for this problem, such as RNN cells (RNN ...

Optimality account of the decomposition of fricatives [PDF]

SHS Web of Conferences, 2022
This paper analyzes various cases of consonantal decomposition in interlanguage mapping within the framework of Optimality Theory. During the analyses, we argue that the preservation of the (major) place property takes the most crucial role in the ...

F0 perturbation effect in Initial Fricatives of Serbian – An Acoustic Analysis [PDF]

Filolog, 2017
The present paper explores the phenomenon of perturbation of fundamental frequency in fricative obstruents in Serbian. The recordings include two reading conditions of target tokens with initial fricative and all vowels from the Serbian phonetic ...
