Libras and Articulatory Phonology

Articulatory phonology: an overview.

An overview of the basic ideas of articulatory phonology is presented, along with selected examples of phonological patterning for which the approach seems to provide a particularly insightful account. In articulatory phonology, the basic units of phonological contrast are gestures, which are also abstract characterizations of articulatory events, each with an intrinsic time or duration. Uttera...

Articulatory Phonology, Task Dynamics and Computational Adequacy

This paper discusses articulatory phonology and task dynamics as potentially computationally adequate models which, together, might characterise speech production. The idea is introduced that, particularly at the task dynamic level, the object oriented computational paradigm is appropriate — this is a novel approach in speech production modelling. The paper concludes that articulatory phonology...

Articulatory Phonology: A phonology for public language use

Articulatory organization: from phonology to speech signals.

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd articulatory organization from p...

Automatically rating pronunciation through articulatory phonology

Articulatory Phonology’s link between cognitive speech planning and the physical realizations of vocal tract constrictions has implications for speech acoustic and duration modeling that should be useful in assigning subjective ratings of pronunciation quality to nonnative speech. In this work, we compare traditional phoneme models used in automatic speech recognition to similar models for arti...
