Formant transitions in fricative identification: the role of native fricative inventory.
The distribution of energy across the noise spectrum provides the primary cues for the identification of a fricative. Formant transitions have been reported to play a role in identification of some fricatives, but the combined results so far are conflicting. We report five experiments testing the hypothesis that listeners differ in their use of formant transitions as a function of the presence ...
متن کاملNoise source models for fricative consonants
Hybrid source models for fricative consonants are derived based on aeroacoustic principles of sound generation employing vocal tract area functions obtained from magnetic resonance imaging data of voiced and unvoiced English fricatives. Results based on data from a male and a female subject indicate that a linear source-filter model is fairly adequate for capturing essential spectral characteri...
متن کاملArticulatory variability and fricative noise in apical vowels
Standard Mandarin (SM) apical vowels have tongue postures similar to the fricative consonants that obligatorily precede them, but are thought to lack the consonants’ fricative noise. Lee-Kim [10] argues that in SM apical vowels, a slight reduction of constriction at the tongue blade or tip reduces fricative noise, essentially resulting in syllabic approximants. Using lingual ultrasound to exami...
متن کاملNoise-induced transitions vs. noise-induced phase transitions
I will briefly review the field of noise-induced phase transitions, emphasizing the main differences with the phase-induced transitions and showing that they appear in different systems. I will show that a noise-induced transition can disappear after a suitable change of variables and I will also discuss the breaking of ergodicity and symmetry breaking that occur in noise-induced phase transiti...
متن کاملSpeaker Normalization of Fricative Noise: Considerations on Language-specific Contrast
Both frication noise and vowel formants cue the place of articulation of sibilant fricatives (e.g., /s/ and /ʃ/ in English).However, only few studies have examined the effect of speaker-specific factors. This acoustic study of sibilant fricatives examines how speaker-specific formant information can improve the distinctness of two phonemic categories of sibilants: /s/ vs. /ʃ/ in French and /s/ ...
