  1. 16. Acoustic Properties as Predictors of Perceptual Responses : a Study of Swedish Voiced Stops

    Författare :Diana Krull; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

    Sammanfattning : In speech recognition algorithms and certain theories of speech perception the interpretation of the signal is based on " distance scores " for comparisons of the signal with stored references; in these theories, perception is seen as a product of stimulus and experience. The aim of the present thesis is to evaluate such distance measures by investigating the perceptual confusions of the Swedish voiced stops [b,d,q,g] in systematically varied fragments of vowel-consonantvowel stimuli providing 25 vowel contexts for each consonant.

  3. 17. Nasals and Nasalisation in Speech Production with Special Emphasis on Methodology and Osaka Japanese

    Författare :Mechtild Tronnier; Fonetik; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Mora Nasal; Osaka Japanese; Nasalisation; Nasals; Phonetics; Speech Production; Linguistics; Lingvistik;

    Sammanfattning : Nasal speech sounds occur in most of the languages of the world. Two goals concerning nasalisation in speech were pursued in the studies presented in this volume. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Fluid Structure Interaction Problems with Applications to Human Phonation

    Författare :Niyazi Cem Degirmenci; Johan Hoffman; Johan Jansson; David Nordsletten; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fluid Structure Interaction; Finite Element Method; Contact Modeling; Acoustic Coupling; High Performance Computing; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : This work presents a unified framework for numerical solution of Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) and acoustics problems with focus on human phonation. The Finite Element Method is employed for numerical investigation of partial differential equations that model conservation of momentum and mass. LÄS MER

  5. 19. The priority of temporal aspects in L2-Swedish prosody : Studies in perception and production

    Författare :Bosse Thorén; Robert McAllister; Hartmut Traunmüller; Gösta Bruce; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Foreign accent; Basic prosody; Swedish; Stress; Quantity; Duration; Priority; Postvocalic consonant; Listener friendly; Phonetics; Fonetik; Phonetics; fonetik;

    Sammanfattning : Foreign accent can be everything from hardly detectable to rendering the second language speech unintelligible. It is assumed that certain aspects of a specific target language contribute more to making the foreign accented speech intelligible and listener friendly, than others. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Alternative Measures of Phonation: Collision Threshold Pressure and Electroglottographic Spectral Tilt : Extra: Perception of Swedish Accents

    Författare :Laura Enflo; David House; Jonas Beskow; Sten Ternström; Francisco Lacerda; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Sammanfattning : The collision threshold pressure (CTP), i.e. the smallest amount of subglottal pressure needed for vocal fold collision, has been explored as a possible complement or alternative to the now commonly used phonation threshold pressure (PTP), i.e. LÄS MER
