Vowel aperture and syllable segmentation in French.
The theories of Pulgram (1970) suggest that if the vowel of a French syllable is open then it will induce syllable segmentation responses that result in the syllable being closed, and vice versa. After the empirical verification that our target French-speaking population was capable of distinguishing between mid-vowel aperture, we examined the relationship between vowel and syllable aperture in...
متن کاملVowel Coupling in Mandarin Syllable Contraction
Syllable contraction involves reducing a sequence of two or more syllables to fewer. The present study examines the phenomenon under the framework of Articulatory Phonology in which speech is composed of gestures. The experiment reported here tests the hypothesis that Mandarin contracted syllables result from a transition from anti-phase to the more stable in-phase coordination between vowel ge...
متن کاملAutomatic Syllable Detection for Vowel Landmarks
Lexical Access From Features (LAFF) is a proposed knowledge-based speech recognition system which uses landmarks to guide the search for distinctive features. The first stage in LAFF must find Vowel landmarks. This task is similar to automatic detection of syllable nuclei (ASD). This thesis adapts and extends ASD algorithms for Vowel landmark detection. In addition to existing work on ASD, the ...
متن کاملSyllable Timing in Repetition Disfluency
This paper investigates rhythmic patterns in 3-cycle repetition disfluency (e.g. We went to the park and1 and2 and3 watched the birds...). Results show a harmonic timing effect: in a slow-speech set of corpus data, the distribution of and2 phases relative to the and1 to and3 interval is trimodal (χ = 20.1, p < .005), with modes approximating low-order harmonic ratios (1/3, 1/2, 2/3). A task-dyn...
متن کاملDependence of tone perception on syllable perception
We tested the hypothesis that, given the consistency of tonesyllable alignment found in recent research, accuracy of tone perception is dependent on the accuracy of syllable perception. In two experiments, subjects either judged the number of syllables or identified the tones in nonsense sentences that were spectrally intact, low-pass filtered at 300 Hz or converted to sustained schwa carrying ...
