Testing theories of vowel inherent spectral change.
Three competing accounts of vowel inherent spectral change in English all agree on the importance of initial formant frequencies; however, they disagree about the nature of the perceptually relevant aspects of formant change. The onset+offset hypothesis claims that the final formant values themselves matter. The onset+slope hypothesis claims that only the rate of change counts. The onset+direct...
متن کاملVowel spectra, vowel spaces, and vowel identification.
Twelve Dutch vowels, each pronounced by 50 male speakers, were analyzed in 18 filter bands comparable in bandwidth with the cat's critical band. By considering the sound levels (in decibels) in these filter bands as dimensions, with a principal-component analysis the 18 dimensions per sound were reduced to four factors which together explain 75% of the total variance. The configuration of the a...
متن کاملData Dictionary: Metadata for Phonograph Records
The creation and maintenance of a metadata data dictionary is essential to large-scale digital repositories. It assists the process of data entry, ensures consistency of records, facilitates semantic compatibility and interoperability between systems, and, most importantly, forms the foundation for efficient and effective information retrieval infrastructure. In this paper we explain in detail ...
متن کاملAcoustical Impedance and the Theory of Horns and of the Phonograph.
The introduction more than thirty years ago of the term 'impedance' by Mr. Oliver Heaviside has been productive of very great convenience in the theory of alternating currents of electricity. Unfortunately, engineers have not seemed to notice that the idea may be made as useful in mechanics and acoustics as in electricity. In fact, in such apparatus as the telephone one may combine the notions ...
متن کاملThe Percentage of Vowel Correct Scale in Persian Speaking Children
Objectives: The Percentage of vowel correct (PVC) is one of the indices in the development of articulation and phonological skills in children that can be measured with speech samples that could be extracted from the single word or connected speech tests. The aim of this study is to introduce the PVC scale in Persian speaking children and investigate its validity and reliability. Methods: Th...
