Contribution of the glottal flow residual in affect related voice transformation
(2022)This paper explores the contribution of the glottal flow residual in affect-related voice transformation. This signal, which is defined as the difference between the output of the inverse filter estimating the glottal flow ... -
Creating an ongoing research capability in speech technology for two minority languages: experiences from the WISPR project
(2005)This paper reports on efforts to set up a research capability in speech technology for two minority languages (Welsh and Irish), where the focus is on ensuring that this capability will outlive the project that provided ... -
Criterial positions as diagnostics in Italo-Romance: some highs and lows
(2021)This paper argues that not all [C > XPTop/Foc > V] word orders in upper-southern Italo-Romance necessarily involve movement into the high left periphery. In at least some cases, XPTop/Foc can be shown to occupy the low ... -
Cross-Dialect Irish Prosody: Linguistic Constraints on Fujisaki Modelling
(2008)We describe here our approach to quantifying cross-dialect differences in Irish Gaelic, using the Fujisaki model. The basic principle is that the way in which the modelling is carried out respects a parallel linguistic ... -
Cross-language differences in how voice quality and f0 contours map to affect
(2018)The relationship between prosody and perceived affect involves multiple variables. This paper explores the interplay of three: voice quality, f0 contour, and the hearer's language background. Perception tests were conducted ... -
A cross-linguistic comparison of reference across different signed languages
(2020)Do deaf signers of different signed languages do reference the same way? Here we compare how signers of five signed languages coordinate fully conventionalised forms (such as lexical manual signs, fingerspelling ... -
Cross-speaker variation in voice source correlates of focus and deaccentuation
(2017)This paper describes cross-speaker variation in the voice source correlates of focal accentuation and deaccentuation. A set of utterances with varied narrow focus placement as well as broad focus and deaccented renditions ... -

Defining meaningful units. Challenges in sign segmentation and segment-meaning mapping
(Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, 2021)This paper addresses the tasks of sign segmentation and segment-meaning mapping in the con- text of sign language (SL) recognition. It aims to give an overview of the linguistic properties of SL, such as coarticulation and ... -
Development of a Moodle VLE Plug-in to Support Simultaneous Visualisation of a Collection of Multi-Media Sign Language Objects
(2010)Using Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) to support blended learning is very common in educational institutes. Delivering learning material in a flexible and semi-structured manner to the learner transforms such systems ... -
Dialect alignment signatures
(ISCA, 2006)This paper considers the hypothesis that dialects may have characteristic patterns in the alignment of the melodic contour with the segmental or syllabic tiers. Peak alignment was measured in initial prenuclear accented ... -
