چکیده

RÉSUMÉ. Le traitement automatique de la parole peut concrètement contribuer à éclairer de nombreuses questions concernant la variabilité phonémique à l’oral. L’exploitation de grandes masses de données permet ainsi de dégager de grandes tendances, dont une interprétation plus fine repose ensuite à la fois sur un éclairage linguistique et sur un certain nombre de précautions méthodologiques. Nous allons focaliser l’étude sur la variabilité des voyelles orales en français. Des mesures de durée et de formants, à partir des grands corpus PFC et ESTER utilisés à la fois par les chercheurs en linguistique et en traitement automatique de la parole permettront d’illustrer l’impact de divers paramètres, notamment le style de parole, la position syllabique et l’origine régionale des locuteurs. Enfin la réalisation des voyelles mi-fermées antérieures sera examinée à l’aide de classification automatique de variantes dans un cadre bayésien.

Analysis of Oral and Nasal Vowel Realisation in Northern and Southern French Varieties

We present data on the pronunciation of oral and nasal vowels in northern and southern French varieties. In particular a sharp contrast exists in the fronting of the open /O/ towards [œ] in the North and the denasalisation of nasal vowels in the South. We examine how linguistic changes in progress may affect these vowels, which are governed by the left/right context and bring to light differenc...

Impact of duration on F1/F2 forma automatic analysis of large broadca and Germa

Formant values of oral vowels are automatically measured in a total of 50000 segments from four hours of journalistic broadcast speech in French and German. After automatic segmentation using the LIMSI speech alignment system, formant values are automatically extracted using PRAAT. Vowels with unlikely formant values are discarded (4%). The measured values are exposed with respect to segment du...

Velar Movements for Two French Speakers

This study compares velar movements for nasal vowels and consonants; it investigates contextual nasalisation; and it provides new data on how nasalisation is affected by speech rate. Velar position is measured with an electromagnetic articulatograph (EMA) for two French speakers. Our results confirm that (i) nasal vowels are produced with a lower velum height than nasal consonants; (ii) the con...

Prosodic hierarchy and spectral realization of vowels in French

The aim of this study is to relate spectral realization of vowels and prosodic hierarchy in continuous speech. The IRISA speech alignment system is used and formant values of oral vowels are automatically measured in a total of 500,000 segments from around 30 hours of journalistic broadcast speech in French. The link between the duration of vowels and their spectral realization (through their f...
