Processing relationships between language-being-spoken and other speech dimensions

چکیده
While indexical information is implicated in language processing, little is known about the internal structure of the system of indexical dimensions itself, particularly in bilinguals. A series of three experiments using the speeded classification paradigm investigated the relationship between various indexical and non-linguistic dimensions of speech in processing (talker identity, talker gender, and amplitude of speech) and a lesser-studied indexical dimension relevant to bilinguals, namely, which language is being spoken. Results demonstrate that language-being-spoken is integrated in some form with each of the other dimensions tested, and that this relationship is independent of listeners’ bilingual status.

Identifying spoken language automatically is to identify a language from the speech signal. Language identification systems can be divided into two categories, spectral-based methods and phonetic-based methods. In the former, short-time characteristics of speech spectrum are extracted as a multi-dimensional vector. The statistical model of these features is then obtained for each language. The ...
متن کاملAn Acoustic Study of Emotivity-Prosody Interface in Persian Speech Using the Tilt Model
This paper aims to explore some acoustic properties (i.e. duration and pitch amplitude of speech) associated with three different emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference point, all being intentionally expressed by six Persian speakers. The primary purpose of this study is to find out if there is any correspondence between the given emotions and prosody patterning in P...
متن کاملRelationships between spoken word and sign processing in children with cochlear implants.
The effect of using signed communication on the spoken language development of deaf children with a cochlear implant (CI) is much debated. We report on two studies that investigated relationships between spoken word and sign processing in children with a CI who are exposed to signs in addition to spoken language. Study 1 assessed rapid word and sign learning in 13 children with a CI and found t...
متن کاملLeveraging Relevance Cues for Improved Spoken Document Retrieval
Spoken document retrieval (SDR) has emerged as an active area of research in the speech processing community. The fundamental problems facing SDR are generally three-fold: 1) a query is often only a vague expression of an underlying information need, 2) there probably would be word usage mismatch between a query and a spoken document even if they are topically related to each other, and 3) the ...
متن کاملSpeech Segmentation and its Impact on Spoken Language Technology
In recent years, there has been dramatic progress in both speech and language processing, which spurs efforts to combine speech and language technologies in spoken document processing applications. However, speech is different from text in many respects, most notably in the lack of explicit punctuation and formatting. Thus, spoken document processing requires automatic segmentation to achieve g...
