Vowel contrast and speech intelligibility in dysarthria.
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study examined the spectral characteristics of American English vowels in dysarthria associated with cerebral palsy (CP), and investigated the relationship between a speaker's overall speech intelligibility and vowel contrast. METHODS The data were collected from 12 American English native speakers (9 speakers with a diagnosis of CP and 3 controls). Primary measures were ...
متن کاملModeling intrinsic intelligibility variation : vowel - space size and structure
*Corresponding author's address: Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, University of Washington, 1715 NE Columbia Rd, Seattle, WA 98195-7988, [email protected] This paper describes a model of talker intelligibility in read sentences, based on a variety of vowel-space and prosodic predictors. Data are analysed using mixed-effects regression, including explicit modeling of random variation d...
متن کاملEffect of spectral degradation to the intelligibility of vowel sentences
Based on the noise-replacement paradigm, recent studies showed that vowels carried more perceptional information for sentence intelligibility than consonants. Considering that vowels contain many important acoustic cues for speech perception, this study further assessed the effect of spectral degradation to the intelligibility of Mandarin vowel sentences. Mandarin sentences were processed to ge...
متن کاملRelating automatic vowel space estimates to talker intelligibility
Differences in pronunciation have been shown to underlie significant talker-dependent intelligibility differences. There are several dimensions of variability that are correlated with talker intelligibility including pitch range, vowel-space expansion, and rhythmic patterns. Prior work has shown that some of the better predictors of individual intelligibility are based on the talker’s F1 by F2 ...
متن کاملVowel spectral contributions to English and Mandarin sentence intelligibility
The current study investigated the spectral distribution of vowel cues to Mandarin and English sentence intelligibility. Sentences were segmentally interrupted to preserve various amounts of vowel information. Interruption parameters ensured that similar durations of speech were presented across the two languages. The remaining vowel cues were then either high-pass or low-pass filtered. Results...
