Perception of syllable-initial and syllable-final nasals in English by Korean and Japanese speakers
In both Korean and E nglish, /m/ and /n/ contrast syllable-initially and /m/, /n/ and /N/ contrast syllable-finally. In Japanese, /m/ and /n/ contrast syllableinitially while nasals do not contrast syllable-finally.

متن کاملFinal Syllable Lengthening (FSL) in infant vocalizations.

Findings suggest there may be a U-shaped developmental trajectory for FSL. The present study sought to verify this pattern and to determine whether vocal maturity and deafness influence FSL. Eight normally hearing infants, aged 0;3 to 1;0, and ...
متن کاملSyllable structure, syllable duration and final lengthening in parkinsonian French speech
The present study investigates the duration of syllables with relation to position within phrases and the pattern of segment omissions within syllables in a text read by 12 French PD patients and 12 French control subjects. Three main tendencies emerged. The first was similar duration of syllables in PD and control speech, which may result from a combination of articulatory undershoot and slown...
متن کاملSyllable Recognition Using Syllab Syllable-based
In our previous research, we demonstrated the validity of segmental unit input hidden Markov model (HMM), which regards successive four frame MEL-cepstrum coefficients as a feature vector. The vector is reduced to lower dimensions using the KL transform. However, the model considers only the correlation between frames in a short section, but not the correlation between the frames over a long se...
