From laryngographic and acoustic signals to voicing gestures

چکیده
Many researchers have seen in the articulation an intermediate level of representation. In the gestural phonetic theory, units are articulatory gestures. In order to assess this theory with observed parameters, we have defined a robust labelling system (AMULET) of the multi sensor ACCOR speech database. Main articulatory gestures searched are Voice Onset and Voice Termination on both acoustic and laryngographic signals. We present here two efficient Voiced/Unvoiced/Silence detectors for the acoustic signals and a third one for the laryngographic signal.

Title: Acoustic and Laryngographic Measures of the Laryngeal Reflexes of Linguistic Prominence and Vocal Effort in German A
This study uses acoustic and physiological measures to compare laryngeal reflexes of global changes in vocal effort to the effects of modulating such aspects of linguistic prominence as sentence accent, induced by focus variation, and word stress. Seven speakers were recorded by using a laryngograph. The laryngographic pulses were preprocessed to normalize time and amplitude. The laryngographic...
متن کاملDifferences in coda voicing trigger changes in gestural timing: A test case from the American English diphthong /aɪ/
We investigate the hypothesis that duration and spectral differences in vowels before voiceless versus voiced codas originate from a single source, namely the reorganization of articulatory gestures relative to one another in time. As a test case, we examine the American English diphthong /aɪ/, in which the acoustic manifestations of the nucleus /a/ and offglide /ɪ/ gestures are relatively easy...
متن کاملConsonant duration and VOT as a function of syllable complexity and voicing in a sub-set of Spanish clusters
A series of hypotheses are addressed vis-à-vis the effects of syllable complexity and voicing on consonant duration and VOT (voice onset time) in a subset of Spanish clusters. Electropalatographic (EPG) and acoustic signals were obtained for native-speakers of Standard Peninsular Spanish producing clusters within and across word boundaries. The results show that VOT patterns for singleton onset...
متن کاملCluster Analysis of Acoustic Emission Signals for Carbon/Epoxy Composite in Four-point Bending Test (RESEARCH NOTE)
Due to the extensive use of composites in various industries and the fact that defects reduce ultimate strength and efficiency during operation, detection of failures in composite parts is very important. The aim of this paper is to use Acoustic Emission (AE) non-destructive method in four-point bending test of carbon/epoxy composite to analyze and examine the failure mechanisms. This method is...
متن کاملArticulatory Conflict and Laryngeal Height
In cases of articulatory conflict, gestures involved in preserving phonemic distinctiveness are generally favored over gestures that do not. Here, an apparent exception to the phonemic distinctiveness preservation hypothesis is shown to in fact conform to it: in English, the larynx is lowered before voiced stops to maintain voicing distinctiveness, but the larynx is raised during high vowels, a...
