Automatic Estimation of Intelligibility Measure for Consonants in Speech [PDF]
, 2020 In this article, we provide a model to estimate a real-valued measure of the intelligibility of individual speech segments. We trained regression models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for stop consonants \textipa{/p,t,k,b,d,g/} associated with vowel \textipa{/A/}, to estimate the corresponding Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) at which the ...

The Development of Labial Clusters in the Aśokan Rock Edicts [PDF]
Studia Orientalia Electronica, 2021 The original range of consonant clusters in Indo-Aryan reduced significantly over time, developing into geminates, homorganic nasal-stop clusters, and sonorant-h clusters in Middle Indo-Aryan.

Transients at stop-consonant releases [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994 The acoustic properties and perceptual significance of transients at the release of stop consonants and affricates was studied. The theory of transient production is based on a model in which pressure is built up in a closed tube and the radiated sound is calculated following an abrupt release of the pressure.

Influence of preceding liquids on stop-consonant perception [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1980 When a syllable-final liquid precedes a syllable-initial stop, it may influence the perceived place of stop-consonant production. To demonstrate this phenomenon, the CV portions of natural tokens of /al da/, /al ga/, /at da/, and /at ga/ were excised and replaced with closely matched synthetic stimuli forming a /da/-/ga/ continuum. The resulting hybrid

Effects of Expanding Envelope Fluctuations on Consonant Perception in Hearing-Impaired Listeners [PDF]
Trends in Hearing, 2018 This study examined the perceptual consequences of three speech enhancement schemes based on multiband nonlinear expansion of temporal envelope fluctuations between 10 and 20 Hz: (a) “idealized” envelope expansion of the speech before the addition of ...

Acoustic invariance for stop consonants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974 Acoustic invariance for the six stop consonants occurring with /i/, /a/, and /u/ in naturally spoken CV syllables was investigated. Each syllable was divided into consonant and vowel fragments that were identified in isolation in Experiment I. Consonant fragments that were long enough to be identified as consonants, rather than noise, yet short enough ...

Tape Cutting Experiments with Stop Consonants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972 In Danish words with /p,t,k,b,d,g/+/i,a,u/, stop bursts, aspirations, and formant transitions have been removed and exchanged. [Danish /p,t,k/ are strongly aspirated (/t/ affricated), /b,d,g/ are voiceless.] 500 stimuli were presented to 21 listeners, who had to identify the words. Main results were: For the distinction between /p,t,k/ and /b,d,g/, the

Modeling stop-consonant releases for synthesis [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2000 This study is part of a project leading to rule-based speech synthesis using the HLsyn synthesizer. In HLsyn, stop-consonant releases are generated by controlling the time variation of a constriction that is formed by the lips, the tongue blade, or the tongue body.

Classification of stop consonant place of articulation [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004 In this study we develop an experimental procedure for examining the relative importance of knowledge-based cues for identifying place of articulation for stop consonants. A set of acoustic attributes is selected for place classification of stops: amplitude and energy of burst, formant movement of adjacent vowels, spectrum of noise after the release ...
