A psychoacoustic method to find the perceptual cues of stop consonants in natural speech

A psychoacoustic method to find the perceptual cues of stop consonants in natural speech.

Synthetic speech has been widely used in the study of speech cues. A serious disadvantage of this method is that it requires prior knowledge about the cues to be identified in order to synthesize the speech. Incomplete or inaccurate hypotheses about the cues often lead to speech sounds of low quality. In this research a psychoacoustic method, named three-dimensional deep search (3DDS), is devel...

A psychoacoustic method for studying the necessary and sufficient perceptual cues of American English fricative consonants in noise.

In a previous study on plosives, the 3-Dimensional Deep Search (3DDS) method for the exploration of the necessary and sufficient cues for speech perception was introduced (Li et al., (2010). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 127(4), 2599-2610). Here, this method is used to isolate the spectral cue regions for perception of the American English fricatives /∫, 3, s, z, f, v, θ, δ in time, frequency, and intens...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Acoustic cues and psychological processes in the perception of natural stop consonants.

Invariant cues for place of articulation in stop consonants.

In a series of experiments, identification responses for place of articulation were obtained for synthetic stop consonants in consonant-vowel syllables with different vowels. The acoustic attributes of the consonants were systematically manipulated, the selection of stimulus characteristics being guided in part by theoretical considerations concerning the expected properties of the sound genera...
