Vocal Imitations of Non-Vocal Sounds
Imitative behaviors are widespread in humans, in particular whenever two persons communicate and interact. Several tokens of spoken languages (onomatopoeias, ideophones, and phonesthemes) also display different degrees of iconicity between the sound of a word and what it refers to. Thus, it probably comes at no surprise that human speakers use a lot of imitative vocalizations and gestures when ...
متن کاملTowards a comprehensive dataset of vocal imitations of drum sounds
The voice is a rich and powerful means of expressing acoustic concepts such as musical sounds. Recent research on vocal imitations has demonstrated the viability of using the voice to search for sounds, using query by vocalisation. Here we present the methods used to develop a dataset for evaluating the performance of query by vocalisation systems for drum sounds. The dataset consists of imitat...
متن کاملFree Classification of Vocal Imitations of Everyday Sounds
Þ Goal: Þ Analyze a free classification of vocal imitations of everyday sounds. Þ Highlight the acoustic properties of the imitated sound sources. Þ Motivations: Þ Vocal imitations are simple but still allow the recognition of the imitated sources. Þ They provide a paradigm for studying the acoustic invariants of the sounds. Þ Contributions: Þ Analysis of the individual strategies with the RV c...
متن کاملSelf-organizing the space of vocal imitations
The human voice is a powerful instrument for producing sound sketches. The sonic space that can be spanned with the voice is vast and complex and, therefore, it is difficult to organize and explore. In this contribution, we report on our attempts at extracting the principal components from a database of 152 short excerpts of vocal imitations. We describe each excerpt by a set of statistical aud...
متن کاملAnalysis of Vocal Imitations of Pitch Trajectories
In this paper, we analyse the pitch trajectories of vocal imitations by non-poor singers. A group of 43 selected singers was asked to vocally imitate a set of stimuli. Five stimulus types were used: a constant pitch (stable), a constant pitch preceded by a pitch glide (head), a constant pitch followed by a pitch glide (tail), a pitch ramp and a pitch with vibrato; with parameters for main pitch...
