Rd as a control parameter to explore affective correlates of the tense-lax continuum
(2017)
This study uses the Rd glottal waveshape parameter to simulate the phonatory tense-lax continuum and to explore its affective correlates in terms of activation and valence. Based on a natural utterance which was inverse ...
The role of voice quality in the perception of prominence in synthetic speech
(2019)
This paper explores how prominence can be modelled in speech synthesis through voice quality variation. Synthetic
utterances varying in voice quality (breathy, modal, tense) were generated using a glottal source model ...
Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence
(2016)
paper describes listening tests investigating the perceptual role of voice source parameters (other than F0) in signaling focal prominence. Synthesized stimuli were constructed on the basis of an inverse filtered utterance ...
Prosody of voice: declination, sentence mode and interaction with prominence
(2015)
This paper looks at voice source correlates of decli-
nation. This follows a line of research that proposes
that prosody is primarily signalled by the temporal
modulation of the voice source, and not just F0. In-
verse ...
Universal and language-specific perception of affect from voice
(2011)
This paper outlines the general results of a cross-language study of perception of affect from voice. The study aims to clarify how variations in voice quality (in synthesized stimuli) can evoke different affective coloring ...
Language matters in the perception of affect from voice
(Ivanovo State University of Technology, 2012)
Comparison of time and frequency domain measures of the voice source
(2019)
Voice source modulation is of fundamental importance in speech communication. Many parameters have been proposed to capture the characteristics of the voice, but it is not always clear how the different kinds of parameters ...
Leveraging Phonetic and Speech Research for Irish Language Revitalisation and Maintenance
(2019)
The ABAIR initiative illustrates how phonetic research can drive innovative applications that provide endangered-language communities with powerful tools and resources for language maintenance and revitalisation. ABAIR ...
The ABAIR Initiative: Bringing Spoken Irish into the Digital Space
(2017)
The processes of language demise take hold when a language ceases to belong to the mainstream of life’s activities. Digital communication technology increasingly pervades all aspects of modern life. Languages not digitally ...
An Sc?ala?: autonomous learners harnessing speech and language technologies
(ISCA, 2019)
This paper presents an autonomous language learning platform which has speech and language technology at its core. An Scealaí ('the Storyteller') is a web-based interactive iCALL system that allows learners to compose ...
