British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract We report evidence of sound symbolism for the abstract concept of time across seven experiments (total N = 825). Participants associated the future and past with distinct phonemes (Experiment 1). In particular, using nearly 8000 pseudowords, we found associations between the future and high front vowels and voiced fricatives/affricatives, and ...

Structural Analysis of Hindi Phonetics and A Method for Extraction of Phonetically Rich Sentences from a Very Large Hindi Text Corpus [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Automatic speech recognition (ASR) and Text to speech (TTS) are two prominent area of research in human computer interaction nowadays. A set of phonetically rich sentences is in a matter of importance in order to develop these two interactive modules of HCI.

Speech rhythm: a metaphor? [PDF]
, 2014 Is speech rhythmic? In the absence of evidence for a traditional view that languages strive to coordinate either syllables or stress-feet with regular time intervals, we consider the alternative that languages exhibit contrastive rhythm subsisting merely

Cognitive Phonetics: The Transduction of Distinctive Features at the Phonology-Phonetics Interface
Biolinguistics, 2018 We propose that the interface between phonology and phonetics is mediated by a transduction process that converts elementary units of phonological computation, features, into temporally coordinated neuromuscular patterns, called ‘True Phonetic ...

Phonetic-and-Semantic Embedding of Spoken Words with Applications in Spoken Content Retrieval [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Word embedding or Word2Vec has been successful in offering semantics for text words learned from the context of words. Audio Word2Vec was shown to offer phonetic structures for spoken words (signal segments for words) learned from signals within spoken words. This paper proposes a two-stage framework to perform phonetic-and-semantic embedding on spoken

Phonetic-attention scoring for deep speaker features in speaker verification [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Recent studies have shown that frame-level deep speaker features can be derived from a deep neural network with the training target set to discriminate speakers by a short speech segment. By pooling the frame-level features, utterance-level representations, called d-vectors, can be derived and used in the automatic speaker verification (ASV) task. This

Language barriers and mental health problems of preschool children born very preterm in Germany
Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.Immigrant children born very preterm face systemic inequalities such as language barriers. Language barriers can be operationalized as a continuous linguistic distance score. Linguistic distance is associated with mental health of children born very preterm.
