This study investigates the asymmetry effect between acoustics and perception. The examined cues are closure duration, closure voicing, VOT, release, pre-vowel duration, post-vowel duration. Five native speakers of English and 30 Korean college students participated in the present study. The results showed that high level Korean English learners parallels native speakers in their responses, while mid and low level Korean learners are substantially different from natives.

It is a well-known phenomenon that vowel duration in English is generally longer before a voiced stop than a voiceless one. Past research has postulated that the closure duration of the voiceless stop is generally longer than that of the voiced stop and that the duration of a preceding vowel is determined complementarily by the closure duration of the stop. To shed further light on the phenomenon, this study examined fourteen native speakers of American English who read the monosyllabic words [bVC] (V = [i, ɪ, eɪ, ɛ, æ, ʌ, ɑ], C = [t, d]). First, we found that mean vowel duration was 38 ms longer before the voiced stop than the voiceless (mean duration ratio = 1.24). Second, mean closure duration of the voiced stop was only shorter by 5 ms compared to the voiceless stop (mean duration ratio = 0.97). Therefore, for our subjects, vowel duration was not determined complementarily by the closure duration of the following stop. Third, vowels with longer inherent durations (viz., tense, diphthong, and low vowels) tended to show larger duration ratios in the voiced and voiceless contexts than the vowels with shorter durations (viz., lax vowels). This indicates that the lengthening of inherently shorter vowels before a voiced stop is limited in order to avoid overlapping with longer vowels in the duration range. Fourth, there was no significant gender difference in vowel duration ratios in the contexts of voiced and voiceless stops. Finally, considerable individual differences were found in the vowel and consonant duration ratios.

This study aims to investigate whether shortened vowel duration conditioned by a following voiceless stop induces phonetic reduction of vowel space in English, and whether the reduction appears more in the height dimension than in the backness dimension (Lindblom, 1963; Flemming, 2005). Fifteen native speakers of American English read minimal pairs containing ten American English vowels in [bVd] and [bVt] syllables in a carrier phrase. All the subjects produced shorter vowels in the voiceless than in the voiced context. However, a reduction in vowel space and a raising of low vowels due to the shortened vowel duration were generally not found. To the contrary, the speakers tended to exhibit even more lowering of low vowels in the voiceless context, and vowel space was more commonly compressed in the backness dimension than in the height dimension. Many speakers, in particular, demonstrated fronting of the high back vowel [u] in the voiceless context. It was interpreted that due to a relatively large number of English vowels in the narrower low vowel space, the raising of low vowels may give rise to confusion in vowel contrasts, and therefore the degree of phonetic vowel reduction is restricted in that region. On the other hand, the high vowel region, being relatively spacious in English, allows a certain degree of phonetic vowel reduction in the F2 dimension. It is possible that heavy requirements for maintaining vowel contrasts may cause speakers to overachieve vowel target values, especially when faced with vowels which are difficult to distinguish due to shortened vowel duration, leading to an over-lowering of the low vowels.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of phonation types ([+/- aspirated], [+/- fortis]) on aerodynamic measures with Korean bilabial stops. Sixty-three healthy young adults (30 males, 33 females) participated to evaluate the VOEF (Voicing Efficiency) tasks with bilabial stop consonants /$p^h$/, /p/, /p'/ using Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) Model 6600 (Kay PENTAX Corp, Lincoln Park, NJ). All VOEF measures were significantly influenced by phonation types except RANP(pitch range)(p <.01). For sound pressure, maximum SPL, mean SPL, and Mean SPL during Voicing have been shown to be significantly greatest in fortis stop /p'/ than aspirated /$p^h$/ and lenis stop /p/ (p<.001). On the other hand, mean pitch after lenis stop was significantly lower than after aspirated and fortis stops (p<.001). Peak expiratory airflow, Target airflow, and FVC (Expiratory volume) were significantly lowest in fortis stop /p'/ which might be associated with higher aerodynamic resistance while peak air pressure and mean peak air pressure during closure were significantly lower in lenis stop /p/. Additionally, AEFF (Aerodynamic efficiency) was significantly higher in fortis stop /p'/ than lenis stop /p/ as well as aspirated stop /$p^h$/ (p<.001). Thus, sound pressure, airflow parameters, and aerodynamic resistance made crucial roles in distinguishing fortis /p'/ from lenis stop /p/ and aspirated. Additionally, pitch and subglottal air pressure parameters were important aerodynamic characteristics in distinguishing lenis /p/ from fortis /p'/ and aspirated /$p^h$/. Therefore, accurate aspirated /p/ stop consonant should be elicited when collecting the airflow, intraoral pressure related data with patients with voice disorders in order to enhance the reliability and relevance or validity of aerodynamic measures using PAS.

본 논문에서는 하모닉 부호화기와 CELP(Code Excited Linear Prediction) 부호화기의 장점을 고려한 효율적인 저 전송률 하모닉-CELP 음성 부호화기를 제안한다. 제안된 하모닉-CELP 부호화기에서는 프레임 단위 유/무성음 판별에 따라 무성음 구간에서는 고속 CELP방식으로 부호화하고 유성음 구간에서는 개선된 하모닉 부호화를 수행한다. 제안된 부호화기는 무성음 부호화를 위한 RP-VSELP(Regular Pulse Vector Sum Excited Linear Prediction), 유성음 부호화를 위한 간단한 정수 피치 검색, 정수 단위 피치에서의 고속 하모닉 추정, 가변 차원 하모닉 벡터 양자화, 주파수 해상도를 반영한 인지 가중치, 고속 하모닉 합성, 대역별 유성음 정도에 따른 자연성 제어, 다중 모드 등을 주요한 특징으로 하며, 이러한 특징들로 인해 기존의 HVXC(Harmonic Vector eXeited Coder) 부호화기에 비해서 매우 낮은 복잡도를 갖는다. 주관적인 음질 평가 결과, 제안된 2.4 kbps 하모닉-CELP 부호화기는 낮은 지연과 적은 계산량으로 양호한 음질을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The main problem in speech recognition is the enormous variability in acoustic signals due to complex but predictable contextual effects. Especially in plosive consonants it is very difficult to find invariant cue due to various contextual effects, but humans use these contextual effects as helpful information in plosive consonant recognition. In this paper we experimented on three artificial neural net models for the recognition of plosive consonants. Neural Net Model I used "Multi-layer Perceptron ". Model II used a variation of the "Self-organizing Feature Map Model". And Model III used "Interactive and Competitive Model" to experiment contextual effects. The recognition experiment was performed on 9 Korean plosive consonants. We used VCV speech chains for the experiment on contextual effects. The speech chain consists of Korean plosive consonants /g, d, b, K, T, P, k, t, p/ (/ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ/) and eight Korean monothongs. The inputs to Neural Net Models were several temporal cues - duration of the silence, transition and vot -, and the extent of the VC formant transitions to the presence of voicing energy during closure, burst intensity, presence of asperation, amount of low frequency energy present at voicing onset, and CV formant transition extent from the acoustic signals. Model I showed about 55 - 67 %, Model II showed about 60%, and Model III showed about 67% recognition rate.

과도한 인구의 밀집과 도시 하부구조시설의 집중이 될수록, 재난의 가능성은 그 만큼 존재하게 된다. 대부분의 도시가 예상치 못하는 자연적 및 인위적 재난을 대처 하는 데에는 많은 어려움을 지니고 있다. 많은 사례가 이미 증명되고 있듯이, 이러한 재난은 사회경제적, 재정적, 물질적 및 인명손실에 많은 영향을 초래하고 있다. 비록 여러가지 재난방지 프로그램을 준비해 왔지만, 재난방지를 위한 첨단경고 시스템을 구축하는데 있어서 부족한 점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 전화에 연결될 수 있는 자동음성통보시스템의 개념적 생각과 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 개념적 모델과 시스템 구조는 재난을 예측하고 분석할 뿐만 아니라, 재난의 위험과 위기에 대한 해결책과 대책을 제시한다. 그러나, 지리적정보 측면에서 자동음성통보 시스템의 개념적 정의 및 모델에 대한 연구가 적은 듯하다. 따라서 이 연구는 자연적 재난과 인위적 재해를 조사하고 해결책을 제시하는 것을 강조하였다.

이 논문은 한국어 파열연자음이 유성음 환경에서 유성음화하는 현상을 운율구조와 관련해서 음향음성학적으로 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 논문에서는 첫째, 음성적 자질로서나 청각적인 판단에 의해서나 무성음과 유성음의 이분법으로 나뉘는 것을 음향적 고찰을 통하여 각각을 하위의 범주로 나누었다. 문장 안에서 파열연자음이 음향적으로 실현될 때 각각의 범주가 어느 정도의 빈도수로 출현하는지를 살펴보았다. 둘째, 한국어 파열연자음은 어절 초에서는 무성음으로 실현되나 앞뒤에 유성음이 오는 경우에는 유성화되는 음운규칙이 있는데, 음향적인 분석을 통하여 앞뒤에 유성음이 온다는 조건만으로 설명할 수 없는 예들을 발견하였다. 그리하여 인접음절(특히 앞음절에 오는 분절음의 특성)과 운율구조(액센트구 내에서의 위치, 억양구경계의 유무)를 함께 고려하는 파열연자음 유성화규칙의 조건을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to (1) establish a Korean adult normative database for phonatory aerodynamic measures obtained with the KayPENTAX Phonatory Aerodynamic System (PAS) Model 6600, (2) investigate the intra-subject reliability of these measures across three testing sessions, and (3) examine the effect of gender on those measures. 170 healthy normal speakers (70 men and 100 women) between the ages 18 and 49 years participated in the study. The PAS protocol of maximum phonation and voicing efficiency were conducted and 25 measures were obtained. All aerodynamic measures taken in this study demonstrated high intra-subject reliability in clinical aspect. There were no significant effect of gender in the measures related to sound pressure and subglottal pressure. However, significant differences for gender were found for phonation time, airflow rate, expiratory volume, aerodynamic power, SPL range, pitch range, mean pitch, aerodynamic resistance, and aerodynamic efficiency. Clinicians should be aware of significant gender effects in some aerodynamic parameters when interpreting the data obtained from PAS.
