Exploring Dialect Phonetic Variation Using PARAFAC
In this paper we apply the multi-way decomposition method PARAFAC in order to detect the most prominent sound changes in dialect variation. We investigate various phonetic patterns, both in stressed and unstressed syllables. We proceed from regular sound correspondences which are automatically extracted from the aligned transcriptions and analyzed using PARAFAC. This enables us to analyze simul...
متن کاملDialect recognition using adapted phonetic models
In this paper, we introduce a dialect recognition method that makes use of phonetic models adapted per dialect without phonetically labeled data. We show that this method can be implemented efficiently within an existing PRLM[1] system. We compare the performance of this system with other state-of-theart dialect recognition methods (both acoustic and token-based) on the NIST LRE 2007 English an...
متن کاملInducing phonetic distances from dialect variation
In this study we attempt to derive phonetic distances from alternative dialectal pronunciations used in different geographical varieties. We use two dialect atlases each containing the phonetic transcriptions of the same set of words at hundreds of sites. We collect the sound correspondences through alignment with the Levenshtein distance algorithm, and then apply an information-theoretic measu...
متن کاملPhonetic detail and the role of exposure in dialect imitation
Speakers are able to adjust their prosodic patterns to approximate those of a different dialect, at least when the dialects involved are phonologically similar [6, 7]. Our study explores imitation across two dialects of English (Singaporean and American) whose prosodic systems are phonologically very distinct. Singaporean speakers were recorded both in their native dialect and while attempting ...
متن کاملStatistical dialect classification based on mean phonetic features
Our paper describes work done on a text-dependent method for automatic utterance classi cation and dialect model selection using mean cepstral and duration features on a per phoneme basis. From transcribed dialect data, we build a linear discriminant to separate the dialects in feature space. This method is potentially much faster than our previous selection algorithm. We have been able to achi...
