Hindi Stop Consonants: an Acoustic and Fiberscopic Study

Phonetica, 1980
Abstract Fiberscopic films and audio recordings were made of two native speakers of Hindi, producing # Ci, iCi, iC# utterances where C was one of the four types of stops and affricates. The voiced unaspirated type showed voicing through the whole consonant and no ab-/adduction gesture. The other three types, in the intervocalic case, all

Factors in classification of stop consonant place of articulation

Interspeech 2005, 2005
The goal of this study is to uncover significant factors in the classification of English stop consonant place of articulation, and determine their relative importance to the classification. Factor analysis arranges a set of acoustic attributes used for the classification into factors that can be interpreted in terms of articulatory attributes.

Spectral tilt change in stop consonant perception

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
There exists no clear understanding of the importance of spectral tilt for perception of stop consonants. It is hypothesized that spectral tilt may be particularly salient when formant patterns are ambiguous or degraded. Here, it is demonstrated that relative change in spectral tilt over time, not absolute tilt, significantly influences perception of ...

On the classification of stop consonants (1939)

Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 2010
The reprinted text entitled ‘On the classification of stop consonants’ was written by J. C. Catford, in original phonetic transcription, for the 1939 January–March issue (vol. 65) of Le Maître Phonétique and is an example of the article de fond type of contribution. J. C.

Stop consonant discrimination based on human audition

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1979
A system for discrimination of stop consonants has been designed on the basis of studies of auditory physiology and psychophysics. The system consists of a one-third octave filter bank as an approximation to auditory tuning curves, a bank of high speed, wide dynamic range envelope detectors, a logarithmic amplifier, and a digital computer for analysis ...

Glottal Stops and Double Consonants

Abstract This chapter discusses select aspects of Polish speech for the stage. The authors familiarize readers with the rules of pronouncing double consonants in Polish—one of the many questions that arise when performing in a new language.

Noncategorical perception of stop consonants differing in VOT

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1977
The discriminability of bilabial stop consonants differing in VOT (the Abramson–Lisker bilabial series) was measured in a same–different task, an oddity task, and a dual response, discrimination–identification task. Subjects showed excellent within-category discrimination in all three tasks after a moderate amount of training in a same–different task ...

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 ...

Classification of stop consonant place of articulation.

2004
One of the approaches to automatic speech recognition is a distinctive feature-based speech recognition system, in which each of the underlying word segments is represented with a set of distinctive features. This thesis presents a study concerning acoustic attributes used for identifying the place of articulation features for stop consonant segments ...
