Acoustic, perceptual and social analyses of speech convergence of black and white people in Nigeria
This study assesses speech convergence between white American English (AE) speakers and black Nigerian English (NE) speakers. Most studies base convergence on speech shadowing, but this study investigates convergence in real-life conversations. Eighty utterances were analysed with PRAAT. The utterances were selected from interactions between two AE speakers and two NE speakers, and from separate interactions between the two Americans and between …
Effects of voiced consonants and speaker gender on the acoustic characteristics of preceding vowels in Ika
This article examines if the voicing of a consonant in Ika has any influence on the acoustic features of a preceding vowel. Ika (ISO 639-3 ikk) has nine vowels and this work centres on them. Nine pairs of words beginning with Ika vowels (the vowels preceding either voiced or voiceless consonants) were produced and analysed using the praat speech software. The acoustic characteristics (duration, fundamental frequency, first formant and second form…
