The production of Norwegian tones by multilingual non-native speakers
Aim and objectives/purpose/research questions: The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which multilingual second language (L2) speakers of Norwegian manage to produce lexical pitch accents (L*H ̄ or H*LH ̄) as expected in natural spontaneous speech. Using native speech as a reference, we analyse realizations of multilingual speakers whose respective dominant languages are Lingala, a lexical tone language, and Swahili, a non-tonal langua…
Quantity and laryngeal contrasts in Norwegian
A pragmatic perspective on the phonological values of utterance-final boundary tones in East Norwegian intonation
The intonation system of East Norwegian (EN) is such that a statement often sounds more like a question to a non-native listener. While it may be easy for a phonetically trained person to hear that a final pitch movement of an EN utterance is either a rise to a high, or a fall to a low target tone, such a perceived difference has no phonological significance unless it is exploited systematically for a communicative purpose. Imperative sentences a…
How linguistic and probabilistic properties of a word affect the realization of its final /t
An acoustic analysis of Norwegian /ç/ and /[small Esh]/ as spoken by young people
This study investigates some acoustic characteristics of Norwegian /ç/ and /[small Esh]/ as spoken by two groups of young people. Whereas the first group distinguished between the two fricatives in production, the other speakers showed articulatory merging, producing both /ç/ and /[small Esh]/ as [[small Esh]]. Parameters measured were duration and relative rms amplitude of the fricative and four spectral properties, viz. lower and upper edge and…
Auditory accounts of temporal factors in the perception of Norwegian disyllables and speech analogs
Acoustic Parameters in Speaker Height and Weight Identification
This study examines the ability of listeners to judge speaker height and weight from speech samples. Although previous investigations indicate that listeners are consistent in estimating body characteristics, it is not known which speech signal parameters are being used by the listeners for such estimates. Therefore, a series of listening tests was carried out in which male and female listeners judged the height and weight from male and female sp…

Speaker height and weight identification
Acoustic Parameters in Human Speaker Recognition
Four speaker identification tests were conducted using five female speakers known to the listeners. Starting from acoustic recordings of reiterant “ma” syllables, the perceptual importance of the following three factors was investigated: F o height, F o contour, and speech rhythm. For speakers with typically low or high voices F o height turned out to be a highly relevant cue in speaker identification. For all speakers F o contour was of secondar…
The Contribution of Speech Rhythm and Pitch to Speaker Recognition
Using a Fourcin laryngograph, Lx recordings of three male speakers were made. After manipulation, the Lx signals were presented to a group of eight listeners, who performed both an AX discrimination and a speaker identification test. The results show that the listeners made use of the three parameters varied in the listening tests, viz. speech rhythm, F 0 contour and F 0 height. Furthermore, the data suggest that the relevance of these different …
