Multiple measures of vowel overlap have been proposed that use F1, F2, and duration to calculate the degree of overlap between vowel categories. The present study assesses four of these measures: the spectral overlap assessment metric [SOAM; Wassink (2006). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 119(4), 2334–2350],...

The overlap of vowel categories is a fairly common linguistic phenomenon. But, it can be difficult to judge whether two supposedly distinct vowel categories have merged or not. One tool that a researcher may use is a quantification of the overlap based on acoustic properties of recorded vowel...

Forced alignment is increasingly used in phonetics to automatically produce boundaries between words and phones. These boundaries can have significant errors and are often only placed at some predetermined time interval, like every 10 ms. We discuss some potential remedies to these difficulties...

The present study uses a measure of the dispersion of density throughout the vowel space—called the vowel dispersion index—to assess speech patterns in head-and-neck cancer patients. The vowel dispersion index is based on calculating the total variation of the density values in Story and Bunton’s...

By investigating prosody beyond pitch and duration, this article provides a detailed and multifaceted picture of focus marking in a language that differs substantially from more extensively studied languages like English. A production study examined prosodic focus marking in Finnish based on...

The present experiment investigated the role of vocal affect in spoken word recognition. Participants performed an auditory lexical decision task with stimuli articulated by a professional male actor with different acoustic realizations of vocal affect (Angry, Neutral, and Joyful). In addition,...

Factors Influencing Bioacoustically Derived Arrival Timing of Three Migrant Bird Species in the Western Boreal Forest
DownloadFall 2021
Habitat alteration is the leading cause of bird population declines globally. Therefore, understanding the processes influencing habitat selection are important for the identification and protection of important areas for birds. Long-distance migrant birds are particularly vulnerable and are...

Although most auditory lexical decision experiments are performed in a laboratory setting, humans tend to communicate in uncontrolled and noisy environments. We investigated, indirectly, the impact of noise and other distractions on lexical processing. The present study used a subset of words...

Neotropical dry forests are severely threatened by human activities such as agricultural expansion, tourism, cattle ranching, logging, and an increase in human settlements. However, despite these trends, some countries have experienced forest recovery. Costa Rica is a clear example of this...
