A phonetic concatenative approach of labial coarticulation
Predicting the effects of labial coarticulation is an important aspect with a view to developing an artificial talking head. This paper describes a concatenation approach that uses sigmoids to represent the evolution of labial parameters. Labial parameters considered are lip aperture, protrusion, stretching and jaw aperture. A first formal algorithm determines the relevant transitions, i.e. tho...
متن کاملMandarin Tone 2 Coarticulation: Phonetic or phonological?
Tone processes in Chinese languages can be identified as phonological or phonetic. In the literature, this distinction is often made by referring to them as either tone sandhi (phonological) or tonal coarticulation (phonetic). However, while it is unchallenged that certain processes (e.g. Standard Mandarin Tone 3 Sandhi) belong to the phonological camp, some other tone processes that are consid...
متن کاملCoarticulation and contrast: Neighborhood density conditioned phonetic variation in French
Phonological neighborhood density (ND) conditions variation in a number of acoustic phonetic properties of words. For example, previous research has shown greater hyperarticulation and greater nasal coarticulation in high-ND English words than in low-ND words. Here, we investigate the effects of ND on vowel hyperarticulation and vowel nasality (coarticulatory and contrastive) in French. Acousti...
متن کاملPhonetic Detail in Phonology: Evidence from assimilation and coarticulation
Assimilation and coarticulation both involve extending the duration of some property or feature. The similarities between these phenomena can be seen by comparing Basque vowel raising with vowel -to -vowel coarticulation in a language like English. In Basque the low vowel Ial is raised to [el following a high vowel. This gives rise to alternations in the form of the definite suffix, I -a/ (de R...
متن کاملCoarticulation: A universal phonetic phenomenon with roots in deep time
Coarticulation is a universal feature of spoken languages. Many decades of experimental phonetic research have produced a large literature on the topic. However, despite many important contributions, we still lack an answer to the perhaps most fundamental question about coarticulation: Where does it come from? In keeping with the Frame/Content theory of speech evolution (MacNeilage 2008) our an...
