A Study of Korean Alveolar Fricatives an Acoustic Analysis, Synthesis and Perception Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
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 undergo this process and tense stops (e g , k') remam tense This process is shown m (I)

Aspiration in alveolar fricatives in Bodo
Aspirated fricatives are typologically rare in world’s languages, occurring mostly in the Sino–Tibetan languages. However, they are hitherto unreported in the Tibeto–Burman languages spoken in North–East India. In this study we present data from Bodo, a Tibeto–Burman language spoken in Assam, India and argue that the Bodo voiceless alveolar fricative is an aspirated voiceless alveolar fricative...
متن کاملAcoustic and Perceptual Similarities between English and Korean Sibilants: Implications for Second Language Acquisition
Foreign accent has been assumed to be closely related to the degree of articulatory, acoustic and perceptual similarity between L1 and L2 sounds. This study examined cross-language acoustic and perceptual similarities between Korean and English sibilant fricatives: Korean [−tense] /s/ and [+tense] /s*/ vs. English alveolar /s/ and palato-alveolar /ʃ/. To determine acoustic similarity, two param...
متن کاملEnd-to-End Acoustic Feedback in Language Learning for Correcting Devoiced French Final-Fricatives
This work aims at providing an end-to-end acoustic feedback framework to help learners of French to pronounce voiced fricatives. A classifier ensemble detects voiced/unvoiced utterances, then a correction method is proposed to improve the perception and production of voiced fricatives in a word-final position. Realizations of voiced fricatives contained in French sentences uttered by French and...
متن کاملPerceptual integration of acoustic cues to laryngeal contrasts in Korean fricatives.
This paper provides evidence that multiple acoustic cues involving the presence of low-frequency energy integrate in the perception of Korean coronal fricatives. This finding helps explain a surprising asymmetry between the production and perception of these fricatives found in previous studies: lower F0 onset in the following vowel leads to a response bias for plain [s] over fortis [s*], despi...
متن کاملAcoustic and perceptual properties of English fricatives
This study presents a comparative analysis of acoustic and perceptual cues to place of articulation in English fricatives. Acoustic parameters investigated include spectral peak location, spectral moments, locus equations, F2 onset, overall noise amplitude, relative amplitude, and fricative noise duration. Perception data were collected for isolated fricatives and fricativevowel syllables. The ...
