Acoustic 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 کاملSex-related acoustic changes in voiceless English fricatives.
This investigation is a comprehensive acoustic study of 4 voiceless fricatives (/f theta s /) in English produced by adults and pre- and postpubescent children aged 6-14 years. Vowel duration, amplitude, and several different spectral measures (including spectral tilt and spectral moments) were examined. Of specific interest was the pattern of normal development of the acoustic properties of fr...
متن کاملAcoustic 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 کاملPerceptual Assimilation of Arabic Voiceless Fricatives by English Monolinguals
Native language experience strongly influences non-native speech discrimination. According to the Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM) [1], discrimination is most accurate when two non-native sounds map onto different native phonemes (Two-Category assimilation), poorer when they differ in goodness-of-fit to the same native phoneme (Category-Goodness assimilation), and worst when perceived as equ...
متن کاملNon-normative preaspirated voiceless fricatives in Scottish English: Phonetic and phonological characteristics
Preaspiration is usually associated with stops rather than fricatives, both at phonological and phonetic levels of description. This study reports the occurrence of phonetic (nonnormative) preaspiration of voiceless fricatives in Scottish Standard English (SSE) spoken in the Central Belt of Scotland. We classify it as non-normative because it is variably present in different speakers, but the d...
