Pushes and pulls from below: Anatomical variation, articulation and sound change

Autor: Dan Dediu, Scott R. Moisik

Publikováno v: Glossa, Vol 4, Iss 1 (2019)

This paper argues that inter-individual and inter-group variation in language acquisition, perception, processing and production, rooted in our biology, may play a largely neglected role in sound change. We begin by discussing the patterning of these

While language is expressed in multiple modalities, including sign, writing, or whistles, speech is arguably the most common. The human vocal tract is capable of producing the bewildering diversity of the 7000 or so currently spoken languages, but re

Contrastive alveolar/retroflex phonemes in Singapore Mandarin bilinguals: Comprehension rates for articulations in different accents, and acoustic analysis of productions

Autor: Hannah Letitia Goh, Fei Ting Woon, Scott R Moisik, Suzy J Styles

The standard Beijing variety of Mandarin, has a clear alveolar-retroflex contrast for phonemes featuring voiceless sibilant frication (i.e., /s/, /ʂ/, /ʈs/, /ʈʂ/, /ʈsʰ/, /ʈʂʰ/). However, some studies show that varieties in the ‘outer-circl

Detecting protagonists and antagonists in the voice quality of American cartoon characters: a quantitative LTAS-based analysis

Autor: Scott R. Moisik, Ke Hui Tong

Publikováno v: PhoneticaReferences. 78(4)

The voices of heroes and villains in cartoons contribute to their uniqueness and helps shape how we perceive them. However, not much research has looked at the acoustic properties of character voices and the possible contributions these have to carto

The vocal tract as a time machine: inferences about past speech and language from the anatomy of the speech organs

Autor: Dan Dediu, Abel Marinus Bosman, W A Baetsen, Andrea L. Waters-Rist, Scott R. Moisik

Publikováno v: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. 376

While speech and language do not fossilize, they still leave traces that can be extracted and interpreted. Here, we suggest that the shape of the hard structures of the vocal tract may also allow inferences about the speech of long-gone humans. These
