    • 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 ...

    • An exploration of voice source correlates of focus 

      Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Gobl, Christer; Yanushevskaya, Irena (2010)
      This pilot study explores how the voice source parameters vary in focally accented syllables. It examines the dynamics of the voice source parameters in an all-voiced short declarative utterance in which the focus placement ...

    • 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 ...

    • Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence 

      Yanushevskaya, Irena; Gobl, Christer; Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Murphy, Andrew (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 ...
