Vowel Spectra, Vowel Spaces, and Vowel Identification [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1970 Twelve Dutch vowels, each pronounced by 50 male speakers, were analyzed in 18 filter bands comparable in bandwidth with the ear's critical band. By considering the sound levels (in decibels) in these filter bands as dimensions, with a principal-component analysis the 18 dimensions per sound were reduced to four factors which together explain 75% of the

Comparing human and machine vowel classification [PDF]
, 2007 In this study we compare human ability to identify vowels with a machine learning approach. A perception experiment for 14 Hungarian vowels in isolation and embedded in a carrier word was accomplished, and a C4.5 decision tree was trained on the same ...

Word Categorization of Vowel Durational Changes in Speech-Modulated Bone-Conducted Ultrasound
Audiology Research, 2021 Ultrasound can deliver speech information when it is amplitude-modulated with speech and presented via bone conduction. This speech-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (SM-BCU) can also transmit prosodic information.

Asymmetric Influence of Vocalic Context on Mandarin Sibilants: Evidence From ERP Studies
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 In the present study, we examine the interactive effect of vowels on Mandarin fricative sibilants using a passive oddball paradigm to determine whether the HEIGHT features of vowels can spread on the surface and influence preceding consonants with ...

Vowel Vibrations and Vowel Production [PDF]
Nature, 1938 THE dark band in Fig. 1 is the reproduction of the speech track of a vowel (a in hatch) on a sound film. The serrated upper edge is the registration of the vibratory movement of the particles of air, that is, it is the curve of vibration. It is seen to consist of a series of portions—vibratory 'bits'—each of which begins strong and fades away to zero ...
