Static measurements of vowel formant frequencies and bandwidths: A review
RD Kent, HK Vorperian - Journal of communication disorders, 2018 - Elsevier
Purpose Data on vowel formants have been derived primarily from static measures
representing an assumed steady state. This review summarizes data on formant frequencies …

Structure in talker variability: How much is there and how much can it help?
DF Kleinschmidt - Language, cognition and neuroscience, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
One of the persistent puzzles in understanding human speech perception is how listeners
cope with talker variability. One thing that might help listeners is structure in talker variability …

Formants are easy to measure; resonances, not so much: Lessons from Klatt (1986)
Formants in speech signals are easily identified, largely because formants are defined to be
local maxima in the wideband sound spectrum. Sadly, this is not what is of most interest in …

The seeming ease with which we usually understand each other belies the complexity of the
processes that underlie speech perception. One of the biggest computational challenges is …

Re-examining phonetic variability in native and non-native speech
Abstract Background/Aims: Non-native speech is frequently characterized as being more
variable than native speech. However, the few studies that have directly investigated …

Corner vowels in males and females ages 4 to 20 years: Fundamental and F1–F4 formant frequencies
The purpose of this study was to determine the developmental trajectory of the four corner
vowels' fundamental frequency (fo) and the first four formant frequencies (F1–F4), and to …

Lexical tone is perceived relative to locally surrounding context, vowel quality to preceding context.
Important speech cues such as lexical tone and vowel quality are perceptually contrasted to
the distribution of those same cues in surrounding contexts. However, it is unclear whether …

Noninvasive neurostimulation of left ventral motor cortex enhances sensorimotor adaptation in speech production
Sensorimotor adaptation—enduring changes to motor commands due to sensory feedback—
allows speakers to match their articulations to intended speech acoustics. How the brain …
