When analyzing singing voice signal, it is required to know the boundaries of each phonetic unit in the singing voice samples. However, due to prolonged vowels in the singing voice, it is not easy to accurately align a singing voice with the phonetic sequence of its lyrics by conventional speech recognition approach. This paper proposes a solution for the phonetic annotation of the singing voic...

A large number of Chinese characters are made up by pairing a semantic radical and a phonetic radical. The phonetic radical usually gives a phonological clue for the pronunciation of the whole character but does not contribute to its meaning. Using an event-related potential (ERP) measurement, the present study was able to trace the very intricate interplay between phonological and semantic inf...

Decision tree based state tying uses so-called phonetic questions to assign triphone states to reasonable acoustic models. These phonetic questions are in fact phonetic categories such as vowels, plosives or fricatives. The assumption behind this is that context phonemes which belong to the same phonetic class have a similar influence on the pronunciation of a phoneme. For a new phoneme set, wh...

This paper provides evidence for both effects of phonetic and phonological salience in speech processing. Results from three experiments are presented, each examining the relative processing two sounds by speakers different languages. In experiment, one is more phonetically salient other phonologically given morphophonological patterning langauges. Phonetic emerged shorter-term tasks that were ...

Listeners retune the boundaries between phonetic categories to adjust to individual speakers' productions. Lexical information, for example, indicates what an unusual sound is supposed to be, and boundary retuning then enables the speaker's sound to be included in the appropriate auditory phonetic category. In this study, it was investigated whether lexical knowledge that is known to guide the ...

An increasing number of people learn Chinese as second language in the world. About 60% of Chinese characters are picto-phonetic compounds which are composed of a phonetic component (PC) and semantic component. Therefore one can make a guess at a character’s pronunciation and meaning from its phonetic and semantic component for a new character. For this reason we propose an order of phonetic co...

Speaker recognition techniques have traditionally relied on purely acoustic features and models. During the last few years, however, the field of speaker recognition has started to show interest in the use of higher level features. In particular, phonetic decodings modeled with statistical language models (n-grams) have already shown its effectiveness in several research works. However, the rel...
