VOT production in Stop Consonants in English-Arabic Bilingual Children
This study investigates the Voice Onset Time (VOT) of stop consonant production in six bilingual English-Arabic children in order to examine whether bilingual children possess one unitary or two separate linguistic systems. A total of six English-Arabic bilingual children participated ages 5 to 10. English and Arabic stop consonants followed by a vowel /a/ made by bilingual children were measur...
متن کاملSeparation of stop consonants
To extract speech from acoustic interference is a challenging problem. Previous systems based on auditory scene analysis principles deal with voiced speech, but cannot separate unvoiced speech. We propose a novel method to separate stop consonants, which contain significant unvoiced signals, based on their acoustic properties. The method employs onset as the major grouping cue; it first detects...
متن کاملThe acquisition of a new phonological contrast: the case of stop consonants in French-English bilinguals.
Cross-language studies have shown that Voice Onset Time (VOT) is a sufficient cue to separate initial stop consonants into phonemic categories. The present study used VOT as a linguistic cue in examining the perception and production of stop consonants in three groups of subjects: unilingual Canadian French, unilingual Canadian English, and bilingual French-English speakers. Perception was stud...
متن کاملAutomatic English stop consonants classification using wavelet analysis and hidden Markov models
This paper compares wavelet and STFT analysis for a speakerindependent stop classification task using the TIMIT database. In the designed experiment the HMM classifier had to assign each test token to one of the following stop classes [d,g,b,t,k,p,dx]. On 6332 stops the wavelet features obtained an overall accuracy of 86 % which corresponds to a 14 % relative error reduction compared to the STF...
متن کاملNative speakers of Spanish show rate-dependent processing of English stop consonants.
English monolinguals and native Spanish speakers of English used a 9-point scale to rate syllable-initial stops for goodness as realizations of the English /p/ category. Voice onset time (VOT) was varied in a set of short-duration ('fast-rate') consonant-vowel (CV) stimuli, and in a set of longer-duration ('slow-rate') CV stimuli. The VOT values ranged from values typical for English /b/ to val...
