  2. 1. Articulatory-Acoustic Relationships in Swedish Vowel Sounds

    Author : Christine Ericsdotter; Olle Engstrand; Björn Lindblom; Peter Ladefoged; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Swedish vowels; articulatory modelling; MRI; Phonetics; Fonetik;

    Abstract : The goal of this work was to evaluate the performance of a classical method for predicting vocal tract cross-sectional areas from cross-distances, to be implemented in speaker-specific articulatory modelling. The data forming the basis of the evaluation were magnetic resonance images from the vocal tract combined with simultaneous audio and video recordings. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lexical and articulatory aspects of cognitive decline

    Author : Per Östberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Dementia may be defined as the attenuation of cognitive powers despite preserved basal consciousness. Its most common cause is Alzheimer's disease (AD). Pathoanatomical staging has made it clear that the disease passes through a protracted preclinical phase with slowly emerging symptoms. READ MORE

  5. 3. From Acoustics to Articulation : Study of the acoustic-articulatory relationship along with methods to normalize and adapt to variations in production across different speakers

    Author : Gopal Ananthakrishnan; Olov Engwall; Gérard Bailly; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acoustic-Articulatory relationship; speaker normalization;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is the relationship between the articulation ofspeech and the acoustics of produced speech. There are several problems thatare encountered in understanding this relationship, given the non-linearity,variance and non-uniqueness in the mapping, as well as the differences thatexist in the size and shape of the articulators, and consequently the acoustics,for different speakers.

  7. 5. Voice Imitation : A Phonetic Study of Perceptual Illusions and Acoustic Success

    Author : Elisabeth Zetterholm; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; impersonation; Voice and speech imitation; target voice; individual voice; pitch register; voice quality; prosody; semantic information; phonology; dialect; articulatory timing; speech style; Phonetics; Fonetik; fonologi;

    Abstract : This thesis is about voice imitations, more specifically impersonation. Questions are raised about the uniqueness of a person’s voice and speech behaviour and if it is possible to get close to another speaker’s voice and speech. Four main research questions are investigated in different studies. READ MORE
