Catalan vowel duration
The temporal organization of discourse has produced a great deal of works in several languages pointing to different aims: from studies where the identification of cues about the planning of linguistic message is treated to studies in which duration models for text-to-speech systems are proposed. This work is a first step towards the description of Catalan vowel duration. Considering the Catala...
متن کاملThe Use of Relative Duration in Syntactic Disambiguation
We describe the modification of a grammar to take advantage of prosodic information automatically extracted from speech. The work includes (1) the development of an integer "break index" representation of prosodic phrase boundary information, (2) the automatic detection of prosodic phrase breaks using a hidden Markov model on relative duration of phonetic segments, and (3) the integration of th...
متن کاملContextual effects on vowel duration, closure duration, and the consonant/vowel ratio in speech production.
Acoustic measurements were conducted to determine the degree to which vowel duration, closure duration, and their ratio distinguish voicing of word-final stop consonants across variations in sentential and phonetic environments. Subjects read CVC test words containing three different vowels and ending in stops of three different places of articulation. The test words were produced either in non...
متن کاملThe discrimination of vowel duration by infants.
Three groups of nine 5-11-month-old infants provided evidence of discrimination of speechlike stimuli differing only in vowel duration. Ease of discrimination was directly related to the magnitude of the ratio of the longer to shorter vowel. Group one infants discriminated three vowel duration contrasts (with ratios of 0.33, 0.67, and 1.0) embedded in a synthetic [mad] syllable; group two discr...
متن کاملSome effects of duration on vowel recognition.
This study was designed to examine the role of duration in vowel perception by testing listeners on the identification of CVC syllables generated at different durations. Test signals consisted of synthesized versions of 300 utterances selected from a large, multitalker database of /hVd/ syllables [Hillenbrand et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97, 3099-3111 (1995)]. Four versions of each utterance wer...
