Perceived loudness and voice quality in affect cueing
(2009)The paper describes an auditory experiment aimed at testing whether the intrinsic loudness of a stimulus with a given voice quality influences the way in which it signals affect. Synthesised voice quality stimuli in which ... -
The perceptual effects of aliasing distortion in glottal flow modelling
(2023)When modelling the glottal flow signal in a discrete- time system, the aliasing distortion that is produced is typically ignored. The assumption is that the percep- tual effects are negligible if the sampling frequency ... -
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 ... -
Phonetic feature extraction for context-sensitive glottal source processing
(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 ... -
Pitch range declination and reset in turn-taking organisation
(2014)This paper examines how pitch range declination and reset contribute to turn-taking organisation. This is part of a broader study of voice prosody, i.e., how pitch, voice quality and temporal features combine for various ... -
Potential of the Centre for Deaf Studies (CDS): its role in enhancing social justice for the Deaf community: a personal observation
(2005)The establishment of the Centre for Deaf Studies at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, is justifiably regarded as a milestone in the history of the Deaf community. The paper briefly examines the general perception ... -
Practical challenges in polylexical metronome synchronisation: inadvertent conditioning of participant responses in two successive experiments on P-centre location
(2020)A metronome synchronisation paradigm was used to investigate possible interaction between P(erceptual)-centre location and initial mutation in Irish (Gaelic). A pilot study returned promising results in a subset of stimuli. ... -
The prefix g- and -o- ablaut in Tibetan present verb stems
(Brill, 2020)The prevailing internal reconstruction of the Classical Tibetan verbal system accounts for all ablaut phenomena as innovations triggered by erstwhile segmental affixes. The traditional account cannot be correct, because ... -
Printed Text Recognition for Lexical Lists in Chinese-International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) Glossing
(Ubiquity Press, Ltd., 2023)This study presents a dataset serving as a benchmark for the recognition of printed text in lexical lists using Chinese-IPA glossing. The paper provides an overview of the baseline model, transcription model, and PyLaia ... -
Processing 'yup!' and other short utterances in interactive speech
(IEEE, 2011)The detection of short utterances in conversational or interactive speech is essential to the proper processing of meaning in spoken interaction. Short, simple utterances are extremely common, and because of their highly ... -
Prosodic Synchrony in Co-operative Task-based Dialogues: A Measure of Agreement and Disagreement
Prosodic synchrony has been reported to be an important as- pect of conversational dyads. In this paper, synchrony in four different dyads is examined. A Time Aligned Moving Aver- age (TAMA) procedure is used to temporally ... -
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 ... -
Quantum Leaps for Deaf Studies in Ireland
(2009)The Centre for Deaf Studies, Trinity College Dublin, is delighted to announce the launch of a NEW four year Bachelor in Deaf Studies Programme. This full-time programme leads to a level 8 qualification in the National ... -
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 ... -
Refugee Agency and Autonomy in English Language Acquisition
(2008)This article looks at an ethnographic study conducted at Integrate Ireland Language and Training1, an organization which provides English language courses for adult refugees. The research project was a qualitative, ... -
A refutation of Song's (2014) explanation of the 'stop coda problem' in Old Chinese
(2016)Song (2014) draws renewed attention to the problem of groups of Chinese words in which the character used to write one of the words has a stop final reading in Middle Chinese but the character used to write another of the ... -
Relatedness and learner autonomy: a case study of an adult refugee learning English
(2007)Ireland has only recently become a country of immigration and asylum. Provision of English language training is a priority both for refugees and for the host community. There has been very little research in Ireland on ...
