Higher formant normalization results from auditory integration of F2 and F3.
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that higher formant normalization results from the auditory integration of F2 and F3 when they are within 3 Bark of each other. In the first experiment, Formants 3-5 were manipulated in both a "hid"-"head" continuum (in which F2 and F3 are within 3 Bark of each other) and a "hood"-"HUD" continuum (in which F2 and F3 are not within 3 Bark of ...
متن کاملAuditory Sensitivity to Formant Ratios:Toward an Account of Vowel Normalization.
A long-standing question in speech perception research is how do listeners extract linguistic content from a highly variable acoustic input. In the domain of vowel perception, formant ratios, or the calculation of relative bark differences between vowel formants, have been a sporadically proposed solution. We propose a novel formant ratio algorithm in which the first (F1) and second (F2) forman...
متن کاملPerceptual identification and normalization of synthesized French vowels from birth to adulthood
This paper aims at exploring the invariant parameters involved in auditory normalization of French vowels. A set of 490 stimuli, including the ten French vowels / / produced by an articulatory model simulating seven growth stages and seven fundamental frequency values, has been submitted as a perceptual test to 43 subjects. Results confirm the important effect of the tonality distance between F...
متن کاملComparing Vowel Formant Normalization Methods
Results from a large-scale comparative study of vowel formant normalization methods are presented. Effectiveness of methods was evaluated by their ability to improve the equalization and alignment of speaker vowel spaces over raw Hertz measurements. Vowel-intrinsic methods performed poorly, while vowel-extrinsic, formant-intrinsic methods performed the best overall.
متن کاملThe Role of F2 and F3 in the Perception of Rhoticity: Evidence from Listening Experiments
This paper reports on two listening experiments which explore the relative contributions of F2 and F3 in the perception of rhoticity. Experiment 1 tests the hypothesis that a low-frequency F3 is a crucial spectral component for a signal to be perceived as rhotic. Its results suggest that the removal of F3 may in fact strengthen the rhoticity percept. Experiment 2 manipulates the relative amplit...
