Toward a Theory of Symbolization
On the Problem of Describing the Grammar of Natural Languages
Difficulties encountered in an attempt to describe the syntax of English determiner phrases resulted in a reconsideration of the purpose and organizational principles of grammatical descriptions. Some illumination of the nature of grammatical descriptions is obtained by a consideration of systems of chess-notation. Problems of grammatical description discussed with reference to two specific examples of chess-notations include: (1) The problem of …
Transitions, Glides, and Diphthongs
The study deals with the formant movements associated with transitions, glides, and diphthongs in spoken American English. The transitional characteristics associated with all initial and final consonant phonemes were studied in a large sample of utterances. The rate of change of the transition from a consonant hub to the steady state vowel formant position and conversely was investigated for vowels which are commonly considered monophthongs. It …
Some Basic Considerations in the Analysis of Intonation
This paper considers some basic problems inherent in the instrumental analysis of intonation. The problems are illustrated by a detailed analysis of one intonation contour in American English. The material studied consisted of two sets of data. The first set involved 1263 sentences recorded by one speaker with determined stress and pitch patterns. The sentences consisted of 1263 CNC words produced in an identical frame, with primary stress and th…
Automatic Speech Recognition Procedures
This paper is concerned with the transformation of the varying acoustical parameters of speech to a discrete code to form the printed output of an automatic speech recognizer. The development of general automatic speech recognition procedures requires a definition of the linguistic code to be transcribed, and a statement of the dialectal and other conditions under which the recognition is to be achieved. Essential procedures in automatic speech r…
Duration of Syllable Nuclei in English
This study deals with the influence of preceding and following consonants on the duration of stressed vowels and diphthongs in American English. A set of 1263 CNC words, pronounced in an identical frame by the same speaker, was analyzed spectrographically, and the influences of various classes of consonants on the duration of the nucleus were determined. The residual durational differences are analyzed as intrinsic durational characteristics, ass…
Recurrently Impulsed Resonators in Speech and Psychophysical Studies
The need for data on the perception of sounds produced by the excitation of resonance systems is discussed in relation to speech and psycho-acoustics. The voltage response of a series of N decoupled low-pass resonator sections to the sudden application of various types of input pulse trains is reviewed. The output of such a series of resonators to a recurrent impulse which is suddenly applied contains a d.c. term, a series of transient terms at t…
Objectives and Techniques of Speech Synthesis
The synthesis of speech is discussed as one of the simpler problems of language automation While ultimately speech synthesizers will doubtless have many practical applications, their chief value at present is in basic research on the relation of speech parameters to linguistic judgments. Two basic methods of speech synthesis are considered: 1) the generation of speech from stored segments, and 2) the generation of speech through continuous contro…
Some observations on speech
Experimentelle Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus von Stimme und Gehor in der lautsprachlichen Kommunikation
An Oral Communication Model
Students of language have in general placed primary emphasis upon the generating mechanisms of speech. For example, it is common to classify the sounds of speech in physiological terms; phonetic tables and charts usually show organic position or mechanism in one dimension and method of production in the other. There has also been considerable interest in the acoustical effects or results of speech production. Von Kempelen was among the first to p…

The vowels [e] and [o] in American speech
Control Methods Used in a Study of the Vowels
Relationships between a listener's identification of a spoken vowel and its properties as revealed from acoustic measurement of its sound wave have been a subject of study by many investigators. Both the utterance and the identification of a vowel depend upon the language and dialectal backgrounds and the vocal and auditory characteristics of the individuals concerned. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the control methods that have …
The Phonetic Value of Vowels
[The aural evaluation of vowel sounds is a basic problem in both experimental and applied phonetics. This paper deals with the judgment of phonetic equivalence in the elementary case of sustained vowels. The definition of the phonetic value of vowels in terms of physiological and acoustical dimensions is considered, and the conventional vowel diagram is discussed as a means of representing vowel sounds in a multidimensional phonetic space.]
