An Error Analysis of English Plosive and Fricative Consonants at Vocational High Schools

Analysis and synthesis of fricative consonants

This thesis studies and interprets the -entory of acoustic events associated with the changing vocal-tract configurations .:at characterize fricatives preceding vowels. Theoretical considerations of the articulatory, aerodynamic and acoustic aspects of the production of fricatives provide the foundation for interpreting the acoustic data. Fricative characteristics are considered with respect to...

An Analysis of Scrap Learning Dimensions in Technical & Vocational Training (Work& Knowledge Branch) Senior High Schools

 Introduction: Undesirable teachings or curriculum prepare the ground for training unqualified people Among these, improving available curriculum are very significant. The present study aims to analyze scrap learning dimensions in technical and vocational training (work & knowledge branch) senior high schools.

A nonlinear dynamical systems analysis of fricative consonants.

Acoustic waveforms of the strident fricatives /s/, /z/, /integral of/, and /3/ spoken by two native American English speakers are analyzed using modern chaotic analysis techniques. Fricative data are extracted from both intervocalic and sustained utterances. For comparison, acoustic waveforms of the vowels /a/, /i/, and /u/ are also analyzed. For 44% of the unvoiced fricative tokens in VCV cont...
