Spectral characteristics of the release bursts in Korean alveolar stops
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigates spectral characteristics of the release bursts in Korean alveolar stops in terms of intensity, center of gravity, and skewness of the spectra of the release burst across phonation types and speakers. The results showed that there was no significant difference in intensity, center of gravity, or skewness across phonation types but a significant difference across speakers. This means that difference in phonation type does not lead to any significant difference in the spectra of the release burst. This study suggests that difference in the spectral characteristics of the release burst across phonation types can be ignored in speech synthesis or speech recognition.

A cross-linguistic acoustic comparison of unreleased word-final stops: Korean and Thai
This study compared acoustic characteristics of final stops in Korean and Thai. Word-final stops are phonetically realized as unreleased stops in these languages. Native speakers of Korean and Thai produced monosyllabic words ending with [p t k] in each of their native languages (L1). Formant frequencies of /i a u/ at the vowel’s offset were examined. In both languages, the place effect was sig...
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of Punjabi retroflex and dental stops.
The phonological category "retroflex" is found in many Indo-Aryan languages; however, it has not been clearly established which acoustic characteristics reliably differentiate retroflexes from other coronals. This study investigates the acoustic phonetic properties of Punjabi retroflex /ʈ/ and dental /ʈ̪/ in word-medial and word-initial contexts across /i e a o u/, and in word-final context acro...
متن کاملSpectral Integration of Dynamic Cues in the Perception of Syllable-Initial Stops
The present experiments examine the potential role of auditory spectral integration and spectral center of gravity (COG) effects in the perception of initial formant transitions in the syllables [da]-[ga] and [t(h)a]-[k(h)a]. Of interest is whether the place distinction for stops in these syllables can be cued by a 'virtual F3 transition' in which the percept of a frequency transition is produc...
متن کاملA Study of Korean Alveolar Fricatives an Acoustic Analysis, Synthesis and Perception Experiment
Korean has two types of voiceless alveolar fricatives One is called aspirated and the other tense (Kagaya, 1974) The aspirated fricatives have also been called lax fricatives because phonolog1cally they act hke a lax obstruent, undergomg a set of processes that lax stops do For example, Korean lax stops and Isl undergo post-obstruent tensmg {Sohn 1999) Aspirated stops (e g, ch), however, do not...
متن کاملAcoustic-phonetics of coronal stops: a cross-language study of Canadian English and Canadian French.
The study was conducted to provide an acoustic description of coronal stops in Canadian English (CE) and Canadian French (CF). CE and CF stops differ in VOT and place of articulation. CE has a two-way voicing distinction (in syllable initial position) between simultaneous and aspirated release; coronal stops are articulated at alveolar place. CF, on the other hand, has a two-way voicing distinc...
