Further Studies in Intonation
Working definitions of intonation and of the label to be attached to $$ categories were established. The correlations be $$ categories and $$ characteristics were explored for monosyllabic utterances. The relationship between intonation and fundamental frequency was in many cases found to be strong, but often other factors, such as the speech habits of the individual speakers, varied these relationships considerably. Marked similarities between t…
Effects of Delayed Visual Control on Writing, Drawing and Tracing
Writing, drawing to verbal instruction and tracing were recorded on a combination of a telescriber with a short-term information store resulting in visual delay. The resulting conflict of visual and kinaesthetic feed-back slowed down performance and resulted in errors such as overshooting, repetition and wrong spacing. Measurable effects such as the duration of writing and the error area in tracing could be shown over the observed range to increa…
A Preliminary Investigation of Certain Aspects of Intonation
Intonation is the linguistic form in which the speaker organizes certain kinds of information. It is well-known that intonation is related to the fundamental frequency pattern of the speech wave, but it must also be related to changes along other acoustic dimensions because the intonation “tones” are still recognisable in whispered speech. The fundamental frequency, intensity, spectrum and duration changes associated with six intonation “tones” w…
The Solution of Some Fundamental Problems in Mechanical Speech Recognition
This paper offers a theoretical treatment of the main problems that arise in mechanical speech recognition, based on the conclusions reached in experiments on the perception and recognition of speech sounds and on experimental results already obtained with a mechanical recognizer. In the first part of the paper, the problems of primary or acoustic recognition are dealt with; they include the “gating” problem, the choice of recognition units, and …
The Synthesis of English Vowels
The construction and operation of a new speech synthesizer is described and an account is given of experiments designed to establish data for the successful synthesis of English vowels
Effect of Duration on the Perception of Voicing
This paper describes an investigation of the effect of sound duration on the perception of a linguistic characteristic, the recognition of phonemes. A pair of single syllable words was selected which consisted of identical phoneme sequences, except for the final phoneme which was either the voiced or unvoiced version of the same articulation. Different versions of these words were synthesized with all possible combinations of four different vowel…
