Developmental Aspects of Greek Vowel Reduction in Different Prosodic Positions

open access: yesLanguages
This study investigates the development of Greek vowel reduction across different prosodic positions (stressed, pre-stressed, post-stressed), examining normative data from 72 participants aged 3 years to adulthood and balanced for gender.

Systematic F1 increase in Korean aegyo speech may signal childlike qualities [PDF]

open access: yesJASA Express Letters
Korean aegyo is a socially recognized childlike speaking style used predominantly in romantic interactions among adults. This study examined vowel space modification in aegyo by analyzing formant frequencies from twelve Seoul Korean speakers who produced

Neuromorphic Detection of Vowel Representation Spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper a layered architecture to spot and characterize vowel segments in running speech is presented. The detection process is based on neuromorphic principles, as is the use of Hebbian units in layers to implement lateral inhibition, band probability estimation and mutual exclusion.

Vowel Space as a Tool to Evaluate Articulation Problems [PDF]

open access: yesInterspeech 2018, 2018
Treatment for oral tumors can lead to long term changes in the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract and result in problems with articulation. There are currently no readily available automatic methods to evaluate changes in articulation. We developed a Praat script which plots and measures vowel space coverage.

Subglottal coupling and vowel space [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
A model of acoustic coupling between the oral and subglottal cavities predicts discontinuities in vowel formant prominences near resonances of the subglottal system. One discontinuity occurs near 1300–1500 Hz, suggesting the hypothesis that this is a quantal effect [K. N. Stevens, J.

Photonic‐Enabled Energy‐Efficient Transparent Neuromorphic Computing Devices: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Transparent photonic neuromorphic computing devices merge optics and brain‐inspired computing to overcome von Neumann bottlenecks with ultrafast, low‐energy processing. By exploiting transparent oxides, 2D materials, phase‐change materials, and hybrid heterostructures, these platforms enable photonic synapses, memory, and logic for see‐through edge ...

Prosody and melody in vowel disorder [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The paper explores the syllabic and segmental dimensions of phonological vowel disorder. The independence of the two dimensions is illustrated by the case study of an English-speaking child presenting with an impairment which can be shown to have a ...

Woven Words: Women and Classic Maya Hieroglyphic Writing

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract What survives of Classic Maya (250–925 CE) scribal tradition suggests that production and use of hieroglyphs were dominated by elite men. Ancient texts and imagery, as well as ethnohistorical sources, overwhelmingly position males as agents of writing.

Vowel duration issue in Civili [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The main goal of this article is to define the problem of vowel duration in Civili (H12a). It shows that the so-called Civili vowel-length desperately needs to be re-examined, because previous works on the sound system of this language hardly explain a ...
