Variability in vowel formant frequencies of children with cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a developmental motor disorder and the study of the speech characteristics and developmental speech patterns may provide valuable information on early speech development. Vowels appear early in speech development and they are central to the understanding of the acoustic properties of speech. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the differences of vowel formant fr...
متن کاملVowel formant dispersion as a measure of articulation proficiency.
The articulatory range of a speaker has previously been estimated by the shape formed by first and second formant measurements of produced vowels. In a majority of the currently available metrics, formant frequency measurements are reduced to a single estimate for a condition, which has adverse consequences for subsequent statistical testing. Other metrics provide estimates of size of vowel art...
متن کاملRaised and lowered larynx - the effect on vowel formant frequencies
Raised and lowered larynx positions have been studied on two subjects and in a model experiment. Good qualitative agreement was found and i t was concluded that the main effect s tems f rom the shortening o r lengthening of the pharyngeal cavity.
متن کاملVowel classification based on fundamental frequency and formant frequencies.
A quadratic discriminant classification technique was used to classify spectral measurements from vowels spoken by men, women, and children. The parameters used to train the discriminant classifier consisted of various combinations of fundamental frequency and the three lowest formant frequencies. Several nonlinear auditory transforms were evaluated. Unlike previous studies using a linear discr...
متن کاملMeasurement variability in vowel formant estimation: A simulation experiment
This paper considers sources of error in common vowel formant extraction techniques, investigating the extent to which the temporal point of measurement and software settings influence the formant values obtained. To do this, we report on the results of a vowel measurement simulation where, rather than extracting a single measurement for each vowel token, thousands of measurements are taken for...
