Variability in perceived duration: pitch dynamics and vowel quality
Why are some sound patterns more commonly attested than others? This paper explores the hypothesis that DIFFERENTIAL PHONOLOGIZATION–when one phonetic precursor gives rise to a new phonological pattern more readily than another even when both sets of phonetic precursors may give rise to sound patterns–might arise as a result of variability in how the perceptual system copes with variation in th...
متن کاملJaw opening, vowel and pitch
In singing, FO sometimes is much higher than the typicalfiequency value of FI. According to previous investigations, sopranos raise FI to a fiequency near FO by widening the jaw opening in such cases. In the present study, the jaw opening was measured in 10 professional singers of dzflerent categorisations whose task was to sing an ascending two-octave scale at dzflerent vowels. Their normal Fl...
متن کاملContextual effects on vowel duration, closure duration, and the consonant/vowel ratio in speech production.
Acoustic measurements were conducted to determine the degree to which vowel duration, closure duration, and their ratio distinguish voicing of word-final stop consonants across variations in sentential and phonetic environments. Subjects read CVC test words containing three different vowels and ending in stops of three different places of articulation. The test words were produced either in non...
متن کاملPhrases, Pitch and Perceived Prominence in Maori
This study explores phrase-level prosody and prominence in the Māori language. Limited existing prosodic analysis and anecdotal evidence of diachronic change have motivated the present investigation into alignment of descriptions of intonation and stress with prominence perception test results and pitch analysis of speech data. In general, we find the expected case does occur most often, but ex...
متن کاملThe influence of spectral prominence on perceived vowel quality.
Research indicates that, when the first and second formants of a vowel are separated by less than about 3.5 Bark, perception of its height and some other aspects of its quality is determined by some weighted average of the low-frequency spectrum, rather than by particular harmonic or hypothetical formant frequencies (as is the case with more widely spaced formants). This spectral averaging has ...
