چکیده
Decreasing epilaryngeal area has been shown to increase glottal flow pulse skewing and harmonic amplitudes [Titze, JASA, 123:2733, 2008]. It is not known, however, whether listeners perceive voice quality changes when epilaryngeal area is altered, or if perceived quality is different if the area change occurs at the ventricular folds or aryepiglottic (AE) folds. In this study, a kinematic vocal tract model was used to create five epilaryngeal cavity shapes resulting from constriction and retraction of the ventricular and AE folds. Four voice sources simulating varying degrees of vocal deviation were filtered through the five shapes for a total of 20 stimuli. Fourteen listeners completed a sort and rate task. Results were analyzed using multidimensional scaling (MDS). Altering the epilaryngeal cavity shape resulted in voice quality differences, and perceptual distances differed by voice source. AE fold constriction was perceived most differently from other shapes for all talkers. Ventricular fold constriction was perceived most similar to AE constriction for 3 of the 4 voice sources. Glottal flow and acoustic differences for each epilaryngeal shape will be described and related to the perceived differences in voice quality.

The role of phonological alternation in speech production: evidence from Mandarin tone sandhi.
We investigate the role of phonological alternation during speech production in Mandarin using implicit priming, a paradigm in which participants respond faster to words in sets that are phonologically homogeneous than in sets that are phonologically heterogeneous. We test whether priming is obtained when words in a set share the same tones at the underlying level but have different tones at th...
