The previous research suggests that a speaking style known as clear speech is more intelligible than casual conversational speech for hearing impaired listeners. The present paper is an extension of author’s previous work addressing the temporal modifications to the clear speech intelligibility advantage. The primary goal of this work is to determine whether clear speech enhances fricative inte...


 This article aims to examine the variations in Javanese speech by dialect speakers Garung District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java. The author uses phonological and phonemic process studies identify data of speakers. In collection process, techniques listening, recording, tapping. qualitative descriptive method is applied describe results study. identifying vowels consonants a contrastiv...

background and aim: speech understanding almost never occurs in silence. verbal communication often occurs in environments where multiple speakers are talking. in such environments, babbling noise masks speech comprehension. consonants, in comparison to vowels, are more sensitive to noise masking. consonants provide most acoustic information needed for comprehending the meaning of the word. sin...

In this paper we present the first evaluation results of a carefully designed piecewise linear frequency compression curve, to improve the recognition of fricative consonants, for patients with high-frequency dead regions in the cochlea. Our original frequency compression/transposition algorithm takes into account the average short-time spectrum of the most frequent Brazilian Portuguese fricati...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sufficient perceptual cues used in the recognition of four voiceless fricative consonants [s, f, theta, integral of] followed by the same vowel [i:] in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired adult listeners. Subjects identified the four CV speech tokens in a closed-set response task across a range of presentation levels. Fricative syllables were eit...

Most of researches have reported the significance English phonemic awareness to success learning English, but less discussions involving students with visual disabilities. Students disabilities lacks input and form a strong sensitivity audio input, that this condition affect their spelling ability, yet, ability in recognizing phonemes has been explored especially Indonesia. Thus, research aims ...

Laryngeal–oral coordination was studied in German clusters of voiceless fricative or plosive plus /l/ or /r/ by means of videofiberendoscopy and transillumination. In all cases voice onset time (i.e. the time from release of C1 to onset of voicing) was longer in the clusters compared to the single fricative or plosive controls. However, the coordination patterns leading to this consistent acous...

In obstruent consonants, a major constriction in the upper vocal tract yields an increase in intraoral pressure (P(io)). Phonation requires that subglottal pressure (P(sub)) exceed P(io) by a threshold value, so as the transglottal pressure reaches the threshold, phonation will cease. This work investigates how P(io) levels at phonation offset and onset vary before and after different German vo...

This paper reports experiments in synthesizing VCV sequences with French unvoiced stop or fricative consonants, using a time-domain simulation of the vocal-tract system. The necessary dynamics of the vocal-tract shape are derived in two steps: first, time-varying parameters of an articulatory model are calculated automatically from electromagnetic articulography (EMA) data, using a method previ...

This paper presents results for voicing maintenance during European Portuguese (EP) stop and fricative production. Results showed that EP presented a high amount of devoicing for all phonologically voiced stops and fricatives. This is in contrast to classical literature reporting high voicing maintenance during stop closure for Romance languages, but confirms our preliminary results from previo...
