Processing of cues for stop consonant voicing by young hearing-impaired listeners.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1984
To assess whether young hearing-impaired listeners are as sensitive as normal-hearing children to the cues for stop consonant voicing, we presented stimuli from along VOT continua to young normal-hearing listeners and to listeners with mild, moderate ...

Acoustic properties and perception of stop consonant release transients.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1989
This study focuses on the initial component of the stop consonant release burst, the release transient. In theory, the transient, because of its impulselike source, should contain much information about the vocal tract configuration at release, but it is

Development of Stop Consonants in Korean

Korean Linguistics, 2008
Abstract. The purpose of this study was to examine acoustically the developmental characteristics of Korean stops. Stop productions were obtained from 30 Korean male and female children in two age ranges (5 and 10 years). Voice-Onset-Time (VOT) delay and fundamental frequency (f 0) at the onset of vowel were

Selecting acoustic features for stop consonant identification

IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1983
A series of experiments was performed in order to select a set of acoustic measurements for use as input to an expert system for stop consonant recognition.

Stop-consonant recognition for normal-hearing listeners and listeners with high-frequency hearing loss. II: Articulation index predictions.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1989
Articulation index (AI) theory was used to evaluate stop-consonant recognition of normal-hearing listeners and listeners with high-frequency hearing loss. From results reported in a companion article [Dubno et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 85, 347-354 (1989)],

A temporal analysis of auditory-nerve fiber responses to spoken stop consonant-vowel syllables.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986
Auditory-nerve fiber spike trains were recorded in response to spoken English stop consonant-vowel syllables, both voiced (/b,d,g/) and unvoiced (/p,t,k/), in the initial position of syllables with the vowels /i,a,u/.

Acoustic Properties of Stop Consonants

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1957
The two major cues for stop consonants, the burst of the stop release and the formant transitions in the adjacent vowel, were investigated. Detailed energy density spectra of the bursts were prepared. The transitions were studied by means of sonagrams. Possible criteria for identification were developed and tested.

A Study of VOT in Nepali Stop Consonants [PDF]

Phonetica, 1985
Abstract Speech samples (720 CVC words) from 10 adult male Nepali speakers are analyzed with the aid of a video spectrograph. The distributions of VOT based on group data for each of four phonemic stop categories show that only three of the categories can be differentiated by VOT alone: voice lead, short-lag and long-lag stops.

Perceptual weighting of stop consonant cues by normal and impaired listeners in reverberation versus noise.

Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2007
PURPOSE To determine if listeners with normal hearing and listeners with sensorineural hearing loss give different perceptual weightings to cues for stop consonant place of articulation in noise versus reverberation listening conditions.

Analysis of stop consonants in Devanagari alphabet

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013
The Devanagari alphabet, which is used by several Indian languages including Sanskrit and Hindi, has vowels and consonants are placed in tabular format, which are arranged according to how they originate. A part of this table is a 5 x 5 matrix and comprises of stop consonants, where different rows corresponding to velar, palatal, retro-flex, dental and
