Investigating dialectal differences using articulography
The present study introduces articulography, the measurement of the position of tongue and lips during speech, as a promising method to the study of dialect variation. By using generalized additive modeling to analyze articulatory trajectories, we are able to reliably detect aggregate group differences, while simultaneously taking into account the individual variation across dozens of speakers....
متن کاملComparing L1 and L2 speakers using articulography
This study uses articulography, the measurement of the position of tongue and lips during speech, as a tool to quantitatively assess the differences between pronunciations of native and non-native (Dutch) speakers of English. In our study, we focus on two pairs of English sound contrasts: /s/-/ʃ/ and /t/-/θ/. Our analysis focuses on the anterior-posterior position of the tongue tip during the p...
متن کاملTarascan dialectal and generational differences around aspirated stops
The Tarascan or phurépecha language contrasts aspirated stops from non-aspirated word initially, but this contrast was hardly heard in Hiwatzio, a lake dialect (Friedrich 1971:177). We measured the length of the aspirated feature following stops and vowels /i a u/'s formants F1 and F2 so as to identify differences among subjects. The results show that adult men speakers from a mountain dialect ...
متن کاملCross-dialectal differences in nasal coarticulation in American English
We use acoustic measurements from spontaneous corpora data to compare the social conditioning of nasal coarticulation across two American English dialects: Mid-Atlantic (Philadelphia Neighborhood Corpus) and Midlands (Buckeye Corpus). Each dialect is represented by 40 speakers stratified by age and sex. An acoustic measure of nasal coarticulation is calculated using the within-speaker by-vowel ...
متن کاملSpeech animation using electromagnetic articulography as motion capture data
Electromagnetic articulography (EMA) captures the position and orientation of a number of markers, attached to the articulators, during speech. As such, it performs the same function for speech that conventional motion capture does for full-body movements acquired with optical modalities, a long-time staple technique of the animation industry. In this paper, EMA data is processed from a motion-...
