Inaccurate but predictable
Research suggests human listeners are not very accurate in assessing the size of adults from their speech, though they appear to be consistent in their judgments across listeners. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the importance of the higher formants for providing consistent height judgments, how consistent these height judgments are across replications, and the role of f0 and social knowledge in maintaining the stability of apparent…
German Word-Final Devoicing in Naturally-Produced and TTS Speech
This study explores the production and perception of word-final devoicing in German across text-to-speech (from technology used in common voice-AI "smart" speaker devices-specifically, voices from Apple and Amazon) and naturally produced utterances. First, the phonetic realization of word-final devoicing in German across text-to-speech (TTS) and naturally produced word productions was compared. Acoustic analyses reveal that the presence of cues t…
“Problematic phonemes” and German /ɛ
The decision to include or exclude phonemes in the description of a language is not always straightforward; presentations of the phoneme inventory of Modern Standard German (MSG) often include a discussion of why /ɛ:/ is problematic as a phoneme. This study describes the acoustic realization of /ɛ:/ in comparison to /e:/ in spoken German, specifically South Westphalian. 39 native German speakers produced /ɛ:/ and /e:/ in hVt non-word frames and v…
