Phonetic Temporal Neural Model for Language Identification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Deep neural models, particularly the LSTM-RNN model, have shown great potential for language identification (LID). However, the use of phonetic information has been largely overlooked by most existing neural LID methods, although this information has been used very successfully in conventional phonetic LID systems. We present a phonetic temporal neural

Genus Alternans in the Early History of Ibero‐Romance: Textual Evidence from Early Medieval Iberian Peninsula

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This study revisits the diachrony of the Latin neuter gender in early Ibero‐Romance. The fate of the Latin neuter is counted among the most long‐standing and yet the most controversial questions in Romance historical morphosyntax. While there has been a long‐held belief that neuter nouns merged into the masculine gender in late Latin after ...

Towards a Fregean psycholinguistics

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This paper is partly exegetical, partly systematic. I argue that Frege's account of what he called “colouring” contains some important insights on how communication is related to mental states such as mental images or emotions. I also show that the Fregean perspective is supported by current research in psycholinguistics and that a full ...

Study of Indian English Pronunciation Variabilities relative to Received Pronunciation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Analysis of Indian English (IE) pronunciation variabilities are useful in building systems for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis in the Indian context. Typically, these pronunciation variabilities have been explored by comparing IE pronunciation with Received Pronunciation (RP).

Forming New Vowel Categories in Second Language Speech: The Case of Polish Learners' Production of English /I/ and /e/ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The paper concentrates on formation of L2 English vowel categories in the speech of Polish learners. More specifically, it compares distribution of two English categories - /I/ and /e/ relative to neighbouring Polish vowels.

Introduction: phonetics in phonology [PDF]

open access: yesPhonology, 2001
If there is such a person as the average phonologist, he might have a conception of the relation between phonetics and phonology that comes close to the relation between social perceptions of crimes and a Code of Criminal Law. The Code's definition of various types of crimes and the penalty each type carries ultimately reflect, to put it crudely ...

Raising educational outcomes for individuals with Down syndrome: Findings from a larger systematic review of targeted interventions for individuals with SEND

open access: yesJournal of Research in Special Educational Needs, EarlyView.
Abstract No previous systematic reviews have focused on which targeted interventions successfully raise educational outcomes (i.e. reading, writing, mathematics, science and general attainment outcomes) for students with Down syndrome. This study reports on the findings from a larger pre‐registered systematic review of targeted interventions for ...

Romanian diphthongs /ea/ and /oa/: an articulatory comparison with /ja/ - /wa/ and with hiatus sequences

open access: yesRevista de Filología Románica, 2016
One notable feature in Romanian phonetics and phonology is the presence in its inventory of typologically rare diphthongs /ea/ and /oa/ («mid diphthongs»), which happen to contrast phono-logically with both corresponding hiatus sequences /e.a/ - /o.a ...

Can phonation types be reliably measured from sound spectra? Some data from Wa and Burmese [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This paper assesses the value of measuring aspects of an unmodified acoustic recordings of speech in the two language Burmese (Tibeto-Burman) and Wa (Mon_Khmer) in relation to the glottal source, or phonation type. This method faces the problem of how
