Acoustic characteristics of clearly spoken English fricatives.
Speakers can adopt a speaking style that allows them to be understood more easily in difficult communication situations, but few studies have examined the acoustic properties of clearly produced consonants in detail. This study attempts to characterize the adaptations in the clear production of American English fricatives in a carefully controlled range of communication situations. Ten female a...
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of clearly spoken English tense and lax vowels
Clearly produced vowels exhibit longer duration and more extreme spectral properties than plain, conversational vowels. These features also characterize tense relative to lax vowels. This study explored the interaction of clear-speech and tensity effects by comparing clear and plain productions of three English tense-lax vowel pairs (/i-ɪ/, /ɑ-ʌ/, /u-ʊ/ in /kVd/ words). Both temporal and spectr...
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of English fricatives.
This study constitutes a large-scale comparative analysis of acoustic cues for classification of place of articulation in fricatives. To date, no single metric has been found to classify fricative place of articulation with a high degree of accuracy. This study presents spectral, amplitudinal, and temporal measurements that involve both static properties (spectral peak location, spectral moment...
متن کاملAcoustic correlates of intelligibility enhancements in clearly produced fricatives
Two experiments investigated whether and how clear speech production enhances intelligibility of English fricatives for normal-hearing listeners and listeners with simulated hearing impairment. Babble thresholds were measured for minimal pair distinctions. Clear speech benefited both groups overall; however, for impaired listeners, the clear speech effect held only for sibilant pairs. Correlati...
متن کاملAcoustic and perceptual properties of English fricatives
This study presents a comparative analysis of acoustic and perceptual cues to place of articulation in English fricatives. Acoustic parameters investigated include spectral peak location, spectral moments, locus equations, F2 onset, overall noise amplitude, relative amplitude, and fricative noise duration. Perception data were collected for isolated fricatives and fricativevowel syllables. The ...
