Prosody is an umbrella term used to cover a variety of interconnected and interacting phenomena, namely stress, rhythm, phrasing, and intonation. The phonetic expression of prosody relies on a number of parameters, including duration, amplitude, and fundamental frequency (F0). The same parameters are also used to encode lexical contrasts (such as tone),

Subcategorical phonetic mismatches slow phonetic judgments [PDF]
When an [s] or an [s] fricative noise is combined with vocalic formant transitions appropriate to a different fricative, the resulting consonantal percept is usually that of the noise. To see if the mismatch affects processing time, five experiments were run.

Speech Recognition with Cochlea‐Inspired In‐Sensor Computing
Traditional speech recognition methods rely on software‐based feature extraction that introduces latency and high energy costs, making them unsuitable for low‐power devices. A proof‐of‐concept demonstration is provided of a bioinspired tonotopic sensor for speech recognition that mimics the human cochlea, using a spiral‐shaped elastic metamaterial. The
