  1. 6. Prosodic Features in Child-directed Speech during the Child's First Year

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för fonetik

    Author : Linnea Rask; [2015]
    Keywords : Child-direct speech; prosody; pitch; Prosogram;

    Abstract : This study investigates prosodic features of child-directed speech during the child’s first year, using the automated prosodic annotation software Prosogram. From previous studies on first language acquisition and child-directed speech we know that speech directed to infants and small children is characterised by exaggerated use of several prosodic features, including a higher pitch, livelier pitch movement and slower speech rate.

  4. 8. Fundamental frequency as basis for speech segmentation modeling

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för fonetik

    Author : Ellen Marklund; [2011]
    Keywords : Speech segmentation modeling; first language acquisition; fundamental frequency;

    Abstract : The present study investigates the relevance of fundamental frequency in speech segmentation models intended to simulate infants. Speech from three different conditions (infant-directed speech to 3- and 12-month-olds, and adult-directed speech) was segmented based on fundamental frequency information, using a variant of the dpn-gram segmenting technique (highlighting similar segments as lexical candidates).

  5. 9. Mapping articulatory parameters on formant patterns : From articulations to acoustics non-stop

    University essay from Avdelningen för fonetik

    Author : Elisabet Eir Cortes; [2010]
    Keywords : Area function; articulation; articulatory parameters; acoustics; formants; inverse problem; jaw; larynx; lips; multiple regression analysis; pharynx; phonetics; principal component analysis; tongue; X-ray;

    Abstract : The traditional way of estimating the formant frequencies from articulatory data presupposes knowledge of how the vocal tract cross-sectional area varies for a given articulatory shape (Fant 1960/1970). Accordingly, in order to derive the formant pattern of a given articulation, the three-dimensional shape of the vocal tract (VT) needs to be known. READ MORE

  6. 10. Infants' ability to form verb-action associations

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för fonetik

    Author : Ellen Marklund; [2008]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Four- to eight-month-old infants (n=56) were examined on their ability to acquire verb meaning. In a visual preference procedure they were tested on their ability to form verb-action associations by detecting the correlation between auditory speech stimuli and actions presented in short movie clips on a screen.
