Analysing Irish Prosody: a dual linguistic/quantitative approach
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER (2004)A project of Irish prosody is described which attempts to provide not only the basis for a linguistic description of the prosody of Irish dialects, but also the prerequisite quantitative characterization that is needed ... -
Automatic parameterisation of the glottal waveform combining time and frequency domain measures
GOBL, CHRISTER; KANE, JOHN (2009)This paper describes a new technique for automatically parameterising the inverse filtered speech waveform by exploiting frequency domain measures and amplitude measures in the time domain. The technique is motivated by ... -
Cross-Dialect Irish Prosody: Linguistic Constraints on Fujisaki Modelling
GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (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-speaker variation in voice source correlates of focus and deaccentuation
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (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 ... -
GlóRí - the Glottal Research Instrument
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER; Dalton, John; Kane, John; Yanushevskaya, Irena (2014)This papers presents GlóRí - the glottal research instrument. GlóRí is a speech analysis interface which offers a flexibility and multiplicity of approaches to voice analysis. The system allows for fully automatic ... -
The interaction of long-term voice quality with the realisation of focus
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2016)Voice quality shifts have been shown to be associated with the realisation of accent, focus and deaccentuation. Mostly, accented and focally accented syllables are reported to exhibit a tenser mode of phonation than the ... -
Phonetic feature extraction for context-sensitive glottal source processing
GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2014)The effectiveness of glottal source analysis is known to be dependent on the phonetic properties of its concomitant supraglottal features. Phonetic classes like nasals and fricatives are particularly problematic. Their ... -
The relationship between voice source parameters and the Maxima Dispersion Quotient (MDQ)
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2015) -
Speech Technology for Minority Languages: the Case of Irish (Gaelic)
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER (2006)Abstract?Unit selection is a data-driven approach to speech synthesis that concatenates pieces of recorded speech from a large database in order to create novel sentences. Many corpora are available in the English ... -
Transformation of LF parameters for speech synthesis of emotion: regression trees
GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (ISCA, 2008)This paper outlines an approach to modelling the dynamics of voice source parameters as observed in the analysis of emotional portrayals, by a male speaker of Hiberno-English. The emotions portrayed were happy, angry, ... -
Voice quality and f0 cues for affect expression: implications for synthesis
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2005)Synthesised stimuli were used to investigate how two notionally separable dimensions of tone-of-voice ? voice quality and fundamental frequency ? are involved in the expression of affect. Listeners were presented with ... -
Voice quality and f0 in prosody: towards a holistic account
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER (2004)This paper presents a discussion of the role of voice quality in prosody. Illustrations from past production and perception data by the authors indicate that source parameters other than f0 are an inherent part of ... -
Voice quality and loudness in affect perception
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2008)Different voice qualities tend to vary in terms of their intrinsic loudness. Perceptual experiments have shown that voice quality variation can be strongly associated with the affective colouring of an utterance. The ... -
Voice quality in affect cueing: does loudness matter?
GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA (2013)In emotional speech research, it has been suggested that loudness, along with other prosodic features, may be an important cue in communicating high activation affects. In earlier studies, we found different voice quality ... -
Voice Quality Variation and the Perception of Affect: Continuous or Categorical?
NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE; GOBL, CHRISTER (2003)This paper explores the mapping of voice quality to affect, for a synthesised tense ? lax voice continuum. Two questions are of interest. Firstly, over such a continuum, do listeners? attributions of affect change in a ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
YANUSHEVSKAYA, IRENA; GOBL, CHRISTER; NI CHASAIDE, AILBHE (2017)Modulations of the voice convey affect, and the precise mapping of voice-to-affect may vary for different languages. However, affect-related modulations occur relative to the baseline affect-neutral voice, which tends to ...
