본 연구의 목적은 한국에 존재하는 세 종류 파찰음/ㅈ,ㅊ, ㅉ/의 시간적.공간적 조음 특성을 전자구개도와 스펙트로그램 분석을 통하여 면밀히 검토해 보려는 것이다. 이를 위하여 두 실험이 행해 졌는데, 조음 음성학적인 실험(전자구개도를 이용한 실험)에는 한 명의 피험자가, 그리고 음향 음성학적인 실험(음향 자료의 스펙트로그램 분석)에는 세 명의 피험자가 발화한 자료가 이용되었다. 대상이 되는 세 자음들은 /ㅏ_ㅏ/, /ㅡ_ㅡ/, /ㅣ_ㅣ/ 등 세 모음 사이에서 발화되었으나, 모음이 자음의 조음에 미치는 영향, 즉 모음_자음 동시조음은 본 연구의 범위에서 제외되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of palatal height on Korean vowels and speech intelligibility in Korean adults and to produce baseline data for future prosthodontic treatment. Material and methods: Forty one healthy Korean men and women who had no problem in pronunciation, hearing, and communication and had no history of airway disease participated in this study. Subjects were classified into H, M, and L groups after clinical determination of palatal height with study casts. Seven Korean vowels were used as sample vowels and subjects'clear speech sounds were recorded using Multispeech software program on computer. The F1 and the F2 of 3 groups were produced and they were compared. In addition, the vowel working spaces of 3 groups by /a/, /i/, and /u/ corner vowels were obtained and their areas were compared. Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whiteny U test were used as statistical methods and P < .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were no significant differences in formant frequencies among 3 groups except for the F2 formant frequency between H and L group (P = .003). In the analysis of vowel working space areas of 3 groups, the vowel working spaces of 3 groups were similar in shape and no significant differences of their areas were found. Conclusion: The palatal height did not affect vowel frequencies in most of the vowels and speech intelligibility. The dynamics of tongue activity seems to compensate the morphological difference.

본 논문은 한국어 8 단모음을 인식하는 자동 독화 신경망 시스템을 구축한 것이다. 얼굴의 특정들은 휘도와 채도 성분으로 인하여 다양한 색 공간에서 다양한 표현 값을 갖는다. 이를 이용하여 각 표현 값들을 증폭하거나 축소, 대비시킴으로서 얼굴 특정들을 추출되게 하였다. 눈과 코, 안쪽 입의 외곽선, 이의 외곽선을 찾았고, 그 후 한국어 8모음 발화시 구분되게 변화는 값들을 파라미터로 설정하였다. 한국어 8모음을 발화하는 2400개의 자료를 모아 분석하고 이 분석을 바탕으로 신경망 시스템을 구축하여 실험하였다. 이 실험에 정상인 5명이 동원되었고, 사람들 사이에 있는 관찰 오차를 정규화를 통하여 수정하였다. 5명으로 분석하였고, 5명으로 인식 실험하여 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

계층형 신경망은 패턴 분류를 위해 사용되어 왔다. 이것은 주어진 교사패턴들의 학습으로 원하는 입력-출력 간의 매핑을 할 수 있기 때문이다. 신경망은 타겟ㅌ트 패턴이 입력 패턴의 카테고리에 일치할 때 타겟트 패턴을 학습하므로서 사후 확률을 근사화할 수 있다. 그리고 입력 공간을 부분 공간으로 나누어 학습 데이터들의 비율로서 만든 타겟트 벡터들로 학습한 신경망은 확률밀도 함수를 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 역전파 학습법을 이용한 계층형 NN 과 코드북으로서 사후 확률과 확률밀도함수의 측정방법을 제안하였다. VQ 로 추정한 사후확률고 확률밀도함수를 이용하여 학습이 필요없는 RBF network 의 일종인 PNN으로 모음 인식을 수행 하였다. 인식 실험에서 PNN 의 결과는 역전파 학습법을 이용항 3층 신경망과 VQ 의 평균 인식율과 비교되었다. VQ-PNN의 인식율이 다른 것보다 우수하게 나타났다.

This paper describes the acoustic characteristics of 8 Korean monophthongs. Two acoustic variables were newly manipulated the distance between Fl and F2 (Δ［F2-Fl］). which might be of help for the judgement of the vowel backness. and Euclidian distance between two vowels. ［에］ & ［애］ were observed to be merged in both male vowel space and the female's. respectively. The merger of ［우］ & ［오］, on the other hand, was only seen in the female space. In case of Fl, which concerns the vowel height. the scope of the females' was 1.36 times longer than that of the males' Regarding F2, which is related to the vowel backness. the females used a space 1.29 times longer than the males. The observation of Euclidian distance between the basic 3 vowels (이. 아. 우) showed that the females have longer distance than the males: ［이-아］ 1.25 times, ［아-우］ 1.45 times, and ［이-우］ 1.35 times. respectively.

In this dissertation, a new off-line recognition system is proposed using a subgraph pattern, neural network. After thinning is applied to input characters, balance having a noise elimination function on location is performed. Then as the first step for recognition procedure, circular elements are extracted and recognized. From the subblock HT, space feature points such as endpoint, flex point, bridge point are extracted and a subgraph pattern is formed observing the relations among them. A region where vowel can exist is allocated and a candidate point of the vowel is extracted. Then, using the subgraph pattern dictionary, a vowel is recognized. A same method is applied to extract horizontal vowels and the vowel is recognized through a simple structural analysis. For verification of recognition subgraph in this paper, experiments are done with the most frequently used Myngjo font, Gothic font for printed characters and handwritten characters. In case of Gothic font, character recognition rate was 98.9%. For Myngjo font characters, the recognition rate was 98.2%. For handwritten characters, the recognition rate was 92.5%. The total recognition rate was 94.8% with mixed handwriting and printing characters for multi-font recognition.

Korean English learners tend to have difficulty perceiving and producing English vowels. The purpose of this study is to examine a link between perceived and produced vowel spaces of Korean learners of English. Sixteen Korean male and female participants perceived two sets of English synthetic vowels on a computer monitor and rated their naturalness. The same participants produced English vowels in a carrier sentence with high and low pitch variation in a clear speaking mode. The author compared the perceived and produced vowel spaces in terms of the pitch and gender variables. Results showed that the perceived vowel spaces were not significantly different in either variables. Korean learners perceived the vowels similarly. They did not differentiate the tense-lax vowel pairs nor the low vowels. Secondly, the produced vowel spaces of the male and female groups showed a 25% difference which may have come from their physiological differences in the vocal tract length. Thirdly, the comparison of the perceived and produced vowel spaces revealed that although the vowel space patterns of the Korean male and female learners appeared similar, which may lead to a relative link between perception and production, statistical differences existed in some vowels because of the acoustical properties of the synthetic vowels, which may lead to an independent link. The author concluded that any comparison between the perceived and produced vowel space of nonnative speakers should be made cautiously. Further studies would be desirable to examine how Koreans would perceive different sets of synthetic vowels.

This study was done to describe the experiences of middle-aged woman using SNS through smart phone. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi(1978)'s phenomenological method. The research participants were middle-aged woman 10 participants(age 42~52). As result of research, 75 significant statements, 22 themes, 5 themes cluster, and 2 categories of themes cluster were extracted. The 5 themes cluster are: 'space of meeting and communication', 'space of exchanging information', 'space of cultural creation', 'space of digital fatigue', 'dishonesty communication', and 2 categories of themes cluster are: 'Restructuring on positive social relationship', 'Restructuring on negative social relationship'. These results will promote understanding of middle-age woman using SNS through smartphone, and will be helpful in developing more effective nursing intervention for social relationship.

Previous studies have confirmed that /o/ and /u/ in Seoul Korean are undergoing a merger in the F1/F2 space, especially for female speakers. As a substitute parameter for formants, it is reported that female speakers use phonation (H1-H2) differences to distinguish /o/ from /u/. This study aimed to explore whether H1-H2 values are being used as perceptual cues for /o/-/u/. A perception test was conducted with 35 college students using /o/ and /u/ spoken by 41 females, which overlap considerably in the vowel space. An acoustic analysis of 182 stimuli was also conducted to see if there is any correspondence between production and perception. The identification rate was 89% on average, 86% for /o/, and 91% for /u/. The results confirmed that when /o/ and /u/ cannot be distinguished in the F1/F2 space because they are too close, H1-H2 differences contribute significantly to the separation of the two vowels. However, in perception, this was not the case. H1-H2 values were not significantly involved in the identification process, and the formants (especially F2) were still dominant cues. The study also showed that even though H1-H2 differences are apparent in females' production, males do not use H1-H2 in their production, and both females and males do not use H1-H2 in their perception. It is presumed that H1-H2 has not yet been developed as a perceptual cue for /o/ and /u/.
