Lateral formants in three central australian languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examines dental, alveolar, retroflex and palatal lateral formants. Data are taken from three languages of Central Australia: Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara and Warlpiri. Results show that in relation to the alveolar lateral, the dental has a lower F1 and a higher F4; the retroflex has lower F3 and F4 and slightly higher F2; and the palatal has lower F1 and higher F2, F3 and F4. These results are discussed in light of various acoustic models of lateral production.

Modelling and ranking of differences across formants of british, australian and american accents
The differences between formants of British, Australian and American English accents are analysed and ranked. An improved formant model based on linear prediction (LP) feature analysis and a two-dimensional(2D) hidden Markov model (HMM) of formants is employed for estimation of the formant frequencies and bandwidths of vowels and diphthongs. Comparative analysis of the formant trajectories, the...
متن کاملAnalysis, modelling and synthesis of formants of British, American and Australian accents
The formant space of three major English accents namely British, American and Australian are modelled and used for accent conversion. Accent synthesis, through modification of the acoustic parameters of speech, provides a means for assessing the perceptual contribution of each parameter on conveying an accent. An improved method based on a linear prediction (LP) model feature analysis and a 2-D...

متن کاملVowel perception by listeners from different English dialects
Native English listeners from North America rely primarily on changes in formants, not vowel duration, when perceiving the vowel contrast in the minimal pair bit and beat manipulated from a Canadian English sample [5]. In this paper, we evaluated which cue do native English listeners from other regions use when perceiving the same North American vowel contrast. For this purpose, we used the sam...
