kurdish language is one of the iranian languages and the historical study of the phonetic system of khorasan kormanji dialect, can clearly show that this language has been under the influence of iranian languages, especially persian language. the author of the article has used prof. tsablof’s (the most famous russian orientalist) publications, to show the persian language influence on khorasan ...

We report an investigation of the production of real and non-words in two normal speaker groups. Group 1 consists of 6 young females (mean age 26 years) and Group 2 consists of 5 older females (mean age 54 years). The speech material used in the study consisted of two repetitions of 10 real, 10 pseudo-real and 10 non-words. The results from both repetitions for measures of response latency, utt...

In this work we present our expert system of Automatic reading or speech synthesis based on a text written in Standard Arabic, our work is carried out in two great stages: the creation of the sound data base, and the transformation of the written text into speech (Text To Speech TTS). This transformation is done firstly by a Phonetic Orthographical Transcription (POT) of any written Standard Ar...

This study examines the coda voicing effect in English on production of preceding vowel by comparing L1 and L2 speech. Particular attention is paid to how coda voicing contrast is encoded in temporal vs. spectral dimensions, how the effect interacts with information structure (with varying focus types), and how the use of information structure differs in L1 vs. L2. Both English (native) and Kor...

As a tool for legal spelling and phonetic transcription of Chinese, the Chinese Pinyin System Scheme is an indispensable international teaching. International teachers should systematically understand it in theory, pay attention to some details teaching Phonetic Alphabet, improve effect avoid detours.

Contemporary psycholinguistic models suggest that there may be two possible routes in phonetic encoding: a 'direct' route which uses stored syllabic units, and an 'indirect' route which relies on the on-line assembly of sub-syllabic units. The computationally more efficient direct route is likely to be used for high frequency words, whereas the indirect route is most likely to be used for novel...

This paper presents a phonetic conversion system with phonological knowledge for Galician. The system allows us to evaluate several phonological processes, like syllabification or phonological derivation, as well as to transcript lexicons with phonetic annotation of different linguistic varieties automatically. The system consists of the following modules: (i) phonological conversion, which gen...

An automatic transcription system has been developed to label and segment phonetic constituents of spontaneous American English without benefit of a word-level transcript. Instead, special-purpose neural networks classify each 10-ms frame of speech in terms of articulatory-acoustic-based phonetic features and the feature clusters are subsequently mapped to phonetic-segment labels using multilay...

After having described problems involved in automatie labeHing and having shown eurrent application in the domain of automarle speech processing, we expose our automarle labeHing system. This system comprises two sub-systems : the sub-system for labelling and segmenting to phonetic events, the VERIPHONE system, which aligns strings of phonetic events with strings of phonetic notation. Results o...

This instrumental study of the phonetic contrast between English /ptk/ and /bdg/ produced by Saudi Arabians reveals that native-language phonetic nonTis may carryover to production of target-language sounds. Despite the existence of phonetic interference, however, the present cross-sectional study suggests that Saudi learners gradually approximate the phonetic norms of English, at least insofar...
