In suspicion, characteristic dialect handling is an exceptionally brilliant strategy for the human-PC interface. Regular dialect grateful is once in a while alludes to as an Artificial Intelligence-whole issue since normal dialect distinguishing proof appears to include wide learning about the outside world and the capacity to control it. NLP has vital have regular qualities with the field of c...

Our paper describes work done on a text-dependent method for automatic utterance classi cation and dialect model selection using mean cepstral and duration features on a per phoneme basis. From transcribed dialect data, we build a linear discriminant to separate the dialects in feature space. This method is potentially much faster than our previous selection algorithm. We have been able to achi...

This paper is based on a nascent project on Lancashire dialect grammar, which aims to describe the relevant features of this dialect and to engage with related theoretical and methodological debates. We show how corpora allow one to arrive at more precise descriptions of the data than was previously possible. But we also draw attention to the need for other methods, in particular modern elicita...

This paper presents results of a socio-phonetic analysis of Taiwan Mandarin by using a corpus of questionnaire-based interview speech. Questions were asked to collect data of the interviewee’s background of language use, socio-economic status, and internet access in different regions of Taiwan. Two typical dialect-influenced pronunciation errors, the deletion of /w/ before /o/ and the delabilia...

Most acoustic analyses of Korean stops have focused on the Seoul dialect, and the few dialect surveys that have been done used participants from different age groups and cannot be easily compared to each other. In this study, word-initial stop productions were collected from speakers of three Korean dialects (Seoul, Daegu, and Jeju) born between 1980 and 1991. The acoustic correlates of the sto...

Languages spoken by immigrants change due to contact with the local languages. Capturing these changes is problematic for current language technologies, which are typically developed for speakers of the standard dialect only. Even when dialectal variants are available for such technologies, we still need to predict which dialect is being used. In this study, we distinguish between the immigrant...

Research on the neuronal underpinnings of speaker identity recognition has identified voice-selective areas in the human brain with evolutionary homologues in non-human primates who have comparable areas for processing species-specific calls. Most studies have focused on estimating the extent and location of these areas. In contrast, relatively few experiments have investigated the time-course ...

In the dialect contact framework proposed by Trudgill (1986), relatively little research has investigated the consequences of the mixing of different grammatical systems of English. The apparent time survey of the Fenland dialect of Eastern England reported here provides an example of a range of dialect contact processes reconfiguring variable patterns of past tense BE, resulting in a variety w...

This study examines whether Bedouins in Najd are converging on the sedentary dialect due to social attitudes towards these two dialects. It is hypothesized that will be positive, as opposed those of bedouin dialect. The dialects measured using indirect approach, via verbal-guise test. In this test, implicit individuals a language/dialect measured. Participants presented with stimuli (short spee...
