Measures of vowel overlap explore the acoustic similarity between proposed and existing vowel categories. They typically compare F1 and F2, and sometimes duration. In the present study, we investigate four methods of quantifying vowel overlap: the spectral overlap assessment metric (Wassink,...

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...

Acoustic absement files

Matthew C. Kelley, Benjamin V. Tucker
These files contain acoustic absement and acoustic distinctiveness calculations for the words in the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision database. These files accompany the "Using acoustic distance and acoustic absement to quantify lexical competition" article in the Journal of The Acoustical...

It is common in linguistic analysis to treat words as strings of speech segments that are believed to be transduced from the speech signal. However, there are notable shortcomings with this approach, especially concerning word comparison. Principally, comparing speech segment strings does not...

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,...
