The physical features of each consonant stop sound were carried through the software package for speech analysis in phonetics. The study reveals that there are 15 consonant stop sounds in the Balti language. The study helps document the Balti language, which follows mostly a verbal traditi...

Musical practice provides intensive training of these auditory capacities6. Musicians typically spend hours on tasks requiring the precise discrimination of sounds and melodies, leading to true auditory expertise. The most striking aspect of this sensory learning is the structural brain changes induced by...
predicting the classification of L2 sounds in terms of L1 categories as previous work in this area has predominantly employed the LDA paradigm. The selection of the algorithm that provides optimal predictions is of paramount importance as it can inform current speech acquisition theories, enhancing our...
The set of tonality features is based on the calculation of the chromagram as described in[20, 21] and includes features like key, major/minor classification, chroma flatness, consonant strength, chroma eccentricity in a circle of fifths and harmonic strangeness (correlation between long- and ...

Speech is an intricately orchestrated activity that requires precise management of the vocal tract’s shape and movements to produce clear and understandable sounds [1]. Articulation therapy focuses on improving an individual’s ability to produce clear and correct speech sounds [2]. This therapy is...
–if the air,once out of the glottis,is allowed to passfreely through the resonators,the sound is a vowel;–if the air,once out of the glottis,is obstructed,partially or totally,in one or more places,thesound is a consonant,? Before proceeding,it should be noted that theline between ...
For example, we can predict that Knauf‘knob’ (masculine) cannot be feminine based on its paradigm, and we know that it is very likely masculine, given that almost all monosyllabic German nouns starting with the consonant cluster /kn/ are masculine, the only exception being the neuter noun ...
some of these dimensions, namely precision of consonant production, pitch and loudness level, general rate and harshness, were associated with higher disagreement values, while there were language specific difficulties in assessment of general stress pattern and phoneme length (Hartelius et al., 2003)...
