Vowel space in hypokinetic dysarthria [PDF]
CHIMERA: Revista de Corpus de Lenguas Romances y Estudios Lingüísticos, 2022 The paper discusses acoustic and articulatory data on the use of vowel space by speaker affected by Parkinson’s Disease who developed hypokinetic dysarthria. Two experiments involving pathological subjects and matching controls are described, whose general aim is to better understand if the vowel space in Parkinson’s Disease dysarthric subjects is ...

Automatic assessment of vowel space area [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013 Vowel space area (VSA) is an attractive metric for the study of speech production deficits and reductions in intelligibility, in addition to the traditional study of vowel distinctiveness. Traditional VSA estimates are not currently sufficiently sensitive to map to production deficits.

Acoustic analysis of vowel production in adults with autism spectrum disorder: beyond the notion of a unitary autistic voice [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionSpeech in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) carries distinctive acoustic signatures that can offer valuable insight into the nature of autistic communication and its identification. Among these, vowel production remains insufficiently understood,

Vowel space density as an indicator of speech performance [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017 The purpose of this study was to develop a method for visualizing and assessing the characteristics of vowel production by measuring the local density of normalized F1 and F2 formant frequencies. The result is a three-dimensional plot called the vowel space density (VSD) and indicates the regions in the vowel space most heavily used by a talker during ...

Vowel space change as a predictor of speech intelligibility gain in Down syndrome. [PDF]
Clin Linguist PhonReduced intelligibility is a frequent characteristic of the speech of children with Down syndrome (DS). While it is documented that compressed vowel space is often associated with low intelligibility, few studies have examined how acoustic vowel space ...

Building a statistical model of the vowel space for phoneticians [PDF]
5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998), 1998 Vowel space data (A two dimensional F1/F2 plot) is of interest to phoneticians for the purpose of comparing different accents, languages, speaker styles and individual speakers. Current automatic methods used by speech technologists do not generally produce traditional vowel space models; instead they tend to produce hyper dimensional code books ...

Subthalamic Stimulation Reduces Vowel Space at the Initiation of Sustained Production: Implications for Articulatory Motor Control in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2016 Background: Stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) is an effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease, but complaints of speech difficulties after surgery have been difficult to quantify.

Characterizing the distribution of the quadrilateral vowel space area [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014 The vowel space area (VSA) has been studied as a quantitative index of intelligibility to the extent it captures articulatory working space and reductions therein. The majority of such studies have been empirical wherein measures of VSA are correlated with perceptual measures of intelligibility.

Internal and external motivation in phonetic change: dialect levelling outcomes for an English vowel shift. [PDF]
, 2004 This article is a contribution to the debate about the primacy of internal versus external factors in language change (Farrar and Jones 2002; Thomason and Kaufman 1988).

Changes in Oral Vowel Sounds and Hyoid Bone Movement After Thyroidectomy [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2017 Objectives Voice and speech alterations after total thyroidectomy may be associated with other extralaryngeal factors, such as neck muscle dysfunction and neck scar contracture.
