Previous studies on synesthesia have suggested non-random association between sounds of linguistic units and colors (Asano & Yokosawa, 2011; 2012; Shin & Kim, 2014). A work in our group also showed that graphemes sharing phonetic rules–i.e., the place and the manner of articulation –tend to induce similar synesthetic colors across multiple languages (Kang et al., ASSC 2014). In the present stud...

The involvement of the ventricular folds is often observed in human phonation and, in particular, in pathological and or some throat-singing phonation. This study aims to explore and model the possible aerodynamic interaction between the ventricular and vocal folds using suitable in vitro setups allowing steady and unsteady flow conditions. The two experimental setups consist of a rigid and a s...

Six aryepiglottic trills with varied laryngeal parameters were recorded using high-speed laryngoscopy to investigate the nature of the oscillatory behavior of the upper margin of the epilaryngeal tube. Image analysis techniques were applied to extract data about the patterns of aryepiglottic fold oscillation, with a focus on the oscillatory frequencies of the folds. The acoustic impact of aryep...

PURPOSE To relate vocal fold structure and kinematics to 2 acoustic measures: cepstral peak prominence (CPP) and the amplitude of the first harmonic relative to the second (H1-H2). METHOD The authors used a computational, kinematic model of the medial surfaces of the vocal folds to specify features of vocal fold structure and vibration in a manner consistent with breathy voice. Four model par...

This paper investigates the production of Arabic gutturals by native (NSs) and non-native speakers (NNSs) Arabic. A total 40 participants, 20 NSs NNSs were recruited. 240 tokens collected using two major methods: free speech nonsense word testing. Using PRAAT software (version 6.1.01), analyzed acoustically to measure F1 F2 signal (non)significance difference between target groups auditorily ra...

The presentation explores diplophonia via numerical simulations of glottal vibrations. The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of glottal wall vibration and area waveform patterns of nonmodal phonation as observed via laryngeal highspeed videos. Diplophonia has been described as the simultaneous perception of two pitches during voicing. A broader definition is the vibration of diff...

The two distinct sound sources comprising voiced frication, voicing and frication, interact. One effect is that the periodic source at the glottis modulates the amplitude of the frication source originating in the vocal tract above the constriction. Voicing strength and modulation depth for frication noise were measured for sustained English voiced fricatives using high-pass filtering, spectral...

This study examines the phenomenon of post-aspirated voiceless stops in Western Andalusian Spanish in /s/ + voiceless stop sequences. Previous analyses have proposed that the post-aspiration arises through a reorganization of the glottal spreading gesture for /s/ and the oral constriction gesture for the stop. This theory is tested by steadily increasing speakers' production rate, which has bee...

Two-dimensional numerical simulations are used to explore the mechanism for asymmetric deflection of the glottal jet during phonation. The model employs the full Navier-Stokes equations for the flow but a simple laryngeal geometry and vocal-fold motion. The study focuses on the effect of Reynolds number and glottal opening angle with a particular emphasis on examining the importance of the so-c...
