In our search for perceptually relevant cues in speech we have taken special interest in pa r t s of the acoustic signal displaying rapid changes and short durations. In "tape splicing" e-xperiments with natural voiceless stops we have found a greater amount of absolute identity of the esplosion than might be expected from ear l ie r studies. This finding ~hou.ld. be taken into accou;lt in spee...

A study of lhe relations between the perceptive similarity of voices and physical measures of the speech signal has been carried out. The goal of this study was to identify a set of acoustic parameters which contribute mosl to the voice discrimination process. We worked on a corpus of Iogatoms CVCV. Ten male speakers uttering nine items were considered and a single sample of each item was used....
