An Algorithm for Locating Fundamental Frequency (f0) Markers in Speech
AN ALGORITHM FOR LOCATING FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY (F0) MARKERS IN SPEECH Princy Dikshit Old Dominion University, December 2004 Director: Dr. Stephen A. Zahorian Speech has been the principal form of human communication since it began to evolve at least one hundred thousand years ago. Speech is produced by vibrations of the vocal cords. The rate of vibration of the cords is called fundamental freq...
متن کاملThe perception of fundamental frequency declination.
A series of experiments was carried out to investigate how fundamental frequency declination is perceived by speakers of English. Using linear predictor coded speech, nonsense sentences were constructed in which fundamental frequency on the last stressed syllable had been systematically varied. Listeners were asked to judge which stressed syllable was higher in pitch. Their judgments were found...
متن کاملF0 declination in read-aloud and spontaneous speech
This paper deals with a prosodic comparison of spontaneous and read-aloud speech. More speci cally, the study reports data on F0 declination in these two speaking modes using Swedish materials. For both speaking styles the analysis revealed negative slopes, a steepness-duration dependency with declination being less steep in longer utterances than in shorter ones and resetting at utterance boun...
متن کاملF0 declination in English and Mandarin broadcast news speech
This study investigates F0 declination in broadcast news speech in English and Mandarin Chinese. The results demonstrate a strong relationship between utterance length and declination slope. Shorter utterances have steeper declination even after excluding the initial rising and final lowering effects. Both topline and baseline show declination, but they are independent. The topline and baseline...
متن کاملF0 declination in spontaneous Estonian: implications for pitch-related preplanning in speech production
This study contributes to the discussion on pitch-related preplanning in spontaneous speech production. It investigates the relationship of phrasal length with declination slope, and the initial and final F0 height in intonation phrases extracted from a corpus of Estonian dialogues. The analysis is based on data from 10 speakers. The results show that the declination in shorter phrases is steep...
