About forensic phonetics
This article sets forth the goals and content of Forensic Phonetics and its major elements. Considered are 1) the processing and analysis of spoken utterances, 2) enhancement of speech intelligibility (re: surveillance and other recordings), 3) authentication of recordings, 4) speaker identification, and 5) detection of deception, intoxication, and emotions in speech. Stress in speech, and the psychological stress evaluation systems that some ind…
Aural-perceptual speaker identification: Problems with noncontemporary samples
The degree to which speech and/or speech samples are noncontemporary is considered important to the speaker identification process. There are two dimensions to the problem; the first relates to the listener and, especially, to earwitness lineups. Here, the subject or witness is asked to make identifications at various times after having heard (but not having seen, of course) the speaker. It has been found that a person's memory for a voice decays…
Consideration of guidelines for earwitness lineups
This presentation is part essay and part report. In the first instance, the responsibilities and challenges faced by forensic phoneticians who attempt to deal with the earwitness problem are addressed. The report, in turn, involves a description of the progress being made by a committee on earwitness identification which was appointed by the International Association of Forensic Phonetics in response to their obligations in this regard. The two w…
Conducting research on the effects of intoxication on speech
Most types of behavioural research are difficult to carry out, at least with acceptable rigour; investigation of the effects of ethanol upon speech is a good example of such a challenge. To date bur little research on the issue has been reported; the problem here appears to be the difficulty in developing and carrying our appropriate experiments. In response, the thrust of the present project was two-fold: (1) to address the robustness/accuracy o…
Criteria for earwitness lineups
The problems associated with earwitness lineups, or voice parades, are of growing concern. First, they are becoming more common; second, they are being conducted by individuals who are not competent to carry them out; third, no adequate criteria for their proper use have been published. In response, the membership of the International Association of Forensic Phonetics have undertaken to review the specific elements associated with this problem, i…

Acoustical characteristics of infant cries: Fundamental frequency
The fundamental frequencies (F 0 ) of infant cries were analysed to determine if: (1) mean cry F 0 differed as a function of the sex of the infant, and (2) mean cry F 0 differed due to the stimulus evoking the cry. The results of this study indicate that there are no significant differences in mean cry F 0 as a function of infant's sex or cry-evoking stimulus. However, there was tendency for male infants to have higher mean F 0 than females. The …

Perceptual responses to infant crying: Maternal recognition and sex judgments
A perceptual study was conducted in order to determine (I) whether a group of mothers could recognize their own infant on the basis of tape-recorded cry samples obtained under three cry-evoking situations, and (2) whether an infant's sex could be correctly identified simply by listening to cry samples. The results of this study indicated that mothers could recognize the cry of their own infant with few instances of confusion and that the sex of a…

Perceptual responses to infant crying: Identification of cry types
This report describes a perceptual study on the ability of mothers to perceptually differentiate cry samples elicited by three different stimulus situations. In some instances mothers were evaluating cries produced by their own infant; in other cases they judged those produced by infants with whom they were unfamiliar. The results of the investigation indicated that the eighteen mothers were generally unable to successfully match the cry samples …

Some Contextual Effects on the Perception of Synthetic Vowels
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if the identification of vowel quality in selected vowel-like sounds is affected by the characteristics of an immediately preceding vowel. Listeners were presented recordings of pairs of vowels and instructed to identify the second of each pair as [i, I, ε, Λ] or [α] . The initial, or " affecting ", vowel in each pair was either [i, I, ε, Λ] or [α] ; two sets of affecting vowels were used—human a…
A Second Evaluation of the Speaking Fundamental Frequency Characteristics of Post-Adolescent Girls
Normative data on the speaking fundamental frequency characteristics (SFF) of 467 post-adolescent girls are presented—160 from the present study combined with 307 from previous research by Michel, Hollien and Moore (the two groups were combined to provide a representative experimental population). The mean fundamental frequencies for the three age groups studied were found to be 215.7, 213.9 and 211.5 c.p.s. respectively. These data are in genera…

Speaking Fundamental Frequency Characteristics of 15, 16 and 17 Year-Old Girls
The purpose of this research was to obtain speaking fundamental frequency data on a large number of high-school age girls in order to determine the age at which adult female speaking fundamental frequencies are established. Forty-four 15 year-olds, 115 16 year-olds and 148 17 year-olds were recorded reading a standard passage. The mean fundamental frequencies for these age groups were 207.5, 207.3 and 207.8 c.p.s., respectively. These results ind…
