Book Synopsis The Perception of Vowel Length and Quality in German by : Rudolf Weiss
Download or read book The Perception of Vowel Length and Quality in German written by Rudolf Weiss and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an unpublished dissertation titled Perceptual parameters of vowel length and quality in standard New High German (University of Colorado, 1970). The experiment described is regarded to be an innovative departure in the investigation of vowel perception: vowels are used in which the qualitative and durational aspects have been manipulated quite naturally. The topic has aroused considerable interest. Several articles on the significance and application of the test have already been written.

Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the language specific versus universal nature of perceptual cues. Perceptual cues to vowel quantity were investigated in a series of cross-linguistic perception experiments with native speakers of Thai, Japanese, German, and Spanish. Vowel quantity as a phonological category lends itself to such an investigation since multiple cues have been shown to influence the perception of vowel length, which is usually taken to be the primary indicator of a difference in vowel quantity. It is well known that cues other than vowel duration, such as a difference in vowel quality or a certain F0 contour may co-occur with the durational difference. Furthermore, the presence of a postvocalic consonant and the cues associated with it such as consonant-vowel (CV) and vowel-consonant (VC) transitions as well as the presence of an adjacent syllable have been shown to influence the perception of vowel length. Five perception experiments were conducted with native speakers of the four different languages to investigate the influence of duration, F0, vowel quality, a postvocalic consonant, and an adjacent syllable on the perception of vowel length. The results from 12 listeners of each Thai, Japanese, German, and Spanish show language-specific as well as universal tendencies in the perception of vowel quantity. While the cues associated with quality, a postvocalic consonant, and an adjacent syllable can be seen as universally accessible since they influenced the judgment of all listeners to some degree, F0 as perceptual cue to vowel quantity was language specific as it was only accessible to listeners with a specific language background that associates F0 with vowel quantity.
Book Synopsis Vowel Perception and Production by : B. S. Rosner
Download or read book Vowel Perception and Production written by B. S. Rosner and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1994-07-21 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 50 years have witnessed a rapid growth in the understanding of the articulation and the acoustics of vowels. Contemporary theories of speech perception have concentrated on consonant perception, and this volume is intended as a balance to such bias. The authors propose a computational theory of auditory vowel perception, accounting for vowel identification in the face of acoustic differences between speakers and speaking rate and stress. This work lays the foundation for future experimental and computational studies of vowel perception.

Book Synopsis Vowel Inherent Spectral Change by : Geoffrey Stewart Morrison
Download or read book Vowel Inherent Spectral Change written by Geoffrey Stewart Morrison and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been traditional in phonetic research to characterize monophthongs using a set of static formant frequencies, i.e., formant frequencies taken from a single time-point in the vowel or averaged over the time-course of the vowel. However, over the last twenty years a growing body of research has demonstrated that, at least for a number of dialects of North American English, vowels which are traditionally described as monophthongs often have substantial spectral change. Vowel inherent spectral change has been observed in speakers’ productions, and has also been found to have a substantial effect on listeners’ perception. In terms of acoustics, the traditional categorical distinction between monophthongs and diphthongs can be replaced by a gradient description of dynamic spectral patterns. This book includes chapters addressing various aspects of vowel inherent spectral change (VISC), including theoretical and experimental studies of the perceptually relevant aspects of VISC, the relationship between articulation (vocal-tract trajectories) and VISC, historical changes related VISC, cross-dialect, cross-language, and cross-age-group comparisons of VISC, the effects of VISC on second-language speech learning, and the use of VISC in forensic voice comparison.

Book Synopsis The Waveform Model of Vowel Perception and Production by : Michael A. Stokes
Download or read book The Waveform Model of Vowel Perception and Production written by Michael A. Stokes and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a new model of vowel perception and production derived from visual cues identified in waveform displays. In addition to describing waveform displays of vowels beyond previous descriptions, included in the book are descriptions of experimental evidence supporting near 100% vowel identification accuracy across 20 male talkers using the concepts in the model. The book content will be of interest to several academic fields including Cognitive Science, Psychology, Linguistics, Speech and Hearing, Language Acquisition, Neurolinguistics, Phonetics, and areas within Physics and Mathematics. Beyond these academic fields, the new model of vowel perception presented here could possibly be used to improve accuracy and speed within existing speech recognition systems, or it could be used to generate a new speech recognition program. Many speech recognition programs are based on simple statistical programs like Hidden Markov Models that ignore any theoretical basis to speech recognition. The Waveform Model differs from the HMM approaches since it has a theoretical basis rooted in articulation and that has potentially more promise than these simple HMM models that just take overall similarities in waveforms and try to match them to phonemes and words. Furthermore, many of the speech recognition programs use extensive training by a single user (in quiet conditions) in order to attain over 90% accuracy, which is still a relatively poor performance. The Waveform Model requires no training, can be used across talkers, and has accuracy above reported speech recognition performance (specific to vowels). In summary, the Waveform Model is innovative, and new to the literature and research communities.
Book Synopsis Dynamics of Speech Production and Perception by : P.L. Divenyi
Download or read book Dynamics of Speech Production and Perception written by P.L. Divenyi and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2006-09-20 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that speech is a dynamic process is a tautology: whether from the standpoint of the talker, the listener, or the engineer, speech is an action, a sound, or a signal continuously changing in time. Yet, because phonetics and speech science are offspring of classical phonology, speech has been viewed as a sequence of discrete events-positions of the articulatory apparatus, waveform segments, and phonemes. Although this perspective has been mockingly referred to as "beads on a string", from the time of Henry Sweet's 19th century treatise almost up to our days specialists of speech science and speech technology have continued to conceptualize the speech signal as a sequence of static states interleaved with transitional elements reflecting the quasi-continuous nature of vocal production. This book, a collection of papers of which each looks at speech as a dynamic process and highlights one of its particularities, is dedicated to the memory of Ludmilla Andreevna Chistovich. At the outset, it was planned to be a Chistovich festschrift but, sadly, she passed away a few months before the book went to press. The 24 chapters of this volume testify to the enormous influence that she and her colleagues have had over the four decades since the publication of their 1965 monograph.
