Acoustic Analysis of the Persian Fricative-affricate Contrast

Acoustic analysis of 18 words spoken in citation form by 10 male native speakers of Persian suggests that each of the following parameters can cue the post-alveolar fricative-affricate contrast in isolated word forms in Persian: silence duration, frication duration, rise time and amplitude rise slope. The acoustic values of each cue differ with the position of the test item in the word. Silence...

Phonotactic and acoustic cues for word segmentation in English

This study investigates the influence of both phonotactic and acoustic cues on the segmentation of spoken English. Listeners detected embedded English words in nonsense sequences (word spotting). Words aligned with phonotactic boundaries were easier to detect than words without such alignment. Acoustic cues to boundaries could also have signaled word boundaries, especially when word onsets lack...

Acoustic Cues for the Korean Stop Contrast - Dialectal Variation

In this study, cross-dialectal variation in the use of the acoustic cues of VOT and F0 to mark the laryngeal contrast in Korean stops is examined with Chonnam Korean and Seoul Korean. Prior experimental results (Han & Weitzman, 1970; Hardcastle, 1973; Jun, 1993 &1998; Kim, C., 1965) show that pitch values in the vowel onset following the target stop consonants play a supplementary role to VOT i...

Perception and Production Boundaries between Fricative [s] and Affricate [ts] in Japanese

The perception and production boundaries between a fricative [s] and an affricate [ts] in Japanese were investigated to clarify the relationship between them. Regression and discriminant analyses revealed that the perception and production boundaries between [s] and [ts] were represented by very similar linear functions defined by the variables of rise duration and steady+decay duration. In add...

Age and hearing loss and the use of acoustic cues in fricative categorization.

This study examined the use of fricative noise information and coarticulatory cues for categorization of word-final fricatives [s] and [f] by younger and older Dutch listeners alike. Particularly, the effect of information loss in the higher frequencies on the use of these two cues for fricative categorization was investigated. If information in the higher frequencies is less strongly available...
