Which kind of hesitations can be found in Estonian spontaneous speech?
This paper describes the acoustic characteristics of hesitations in Estonian spontaneous speech. We especially investigate duration, fundamental frequency, and first two formant analyses. Most frequent hesitations can be expressed by lengthened phonemes such as /ää/, /ee/, /õõ/, and /mm/. We compare lengthened phoneme hesitations with their related phonemes. The results from our preliminary hes...
متن کاملF0 declination in spontaneous Estonian: implications for pitch-related preplanning in speech production
This study contributes to the discussion on pitch-related preplanning in spontaneous speech production. It investigates the relationship of phrasal length with declination slope, and the initial and final F0 height in intonation phrases extracted from a corpus of Estonian dialogues. The analysis is based on data from 10 speakers. The results show that the declination in shorter phrases is steep...
متن کاملRepair-initiating particles and um-s in Estonian spontaneous speech
Particles and um-s used in spontaneous Estonian speech as initiators of different types of repair are analysed. Our model and typology of repair based on conversation analysis is introduced. Three main types of repair and particles used to initiate those are described: prepositioned self-initiated selfrepair, postpositioned self-initiated self-repair (addition, substitution, insertion and aband...
متن کاملPhoneme Classification Using Temporal Tracking of Speech Clusters in Spectro-temporal Domain
This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
متن کاملEffects of ageing on speed and temporal resolution of speech stimuli in older adults
Background: According to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. In this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. Methods: A time-compressed speech test (TCST) w...
