Coarticulatory influences on the perceived height of nasal vowels.

A study of jaw coarticulatory resistance and aggressiveness for Catalan consonants and vowels.

The goal of this study is to investigate coarticulatory resistance and aggressiveness for the jaw in Catalan consonants and vowels and, more specifically, for the alveolopalatal nasal //[symbol see text]/ and for dark /l/ for which there is little or no data on jaw position and coarticulation. Jaw movement data for symmetrical vowel-consonant-vowel sequences with the consonants /p, n, l, s, ∫, ...

Perception of coarticulatory nasalization by speakers of English and Thai: evidence for partial compensation.

The conditions under which listeners do and do not compensate for coarticulatory vowel nasalization were examined through a series of experiments of listeners' perception of naturally produced American English oral and nasal vowels spliced into three contexts: oral (C_C), nasal (N_N), and isolation. Two perceptual paradigms, a rating task in which listeners judged the relative nasality of stimu...

Acoustics of articulatory constraints: vowel classification and nasalization

Nasalization confounds the acoustic space by both crowding acoustic cues and also increasing the bandwidth of F1 which makes vowel identification, and hence classification by machine learning algorithms more complex. We present results from a set of machine learning (ML) algorithms that are trained on 15 acoustic features from the spectral and temporal domains to classify contextually nasalized...

Coarticulatory influences of liquids on vowels in English

Coarticulation and contrast: Neighborhood density conditioned phonetic variation in French

Phonological neighborhood density (ND) conditions variation in a number of acoustic phonetic properties of words. For example, previous research has shown greater hyperarticulation and greater nasal coarticulation in high-ND English words than in low-ND words. Here, we investigate the effects of ND on vowel hyperarticulation and vowel nasality (coarticulatory and contrastive) in French. Acousti...
