Acoustic characteristics of clearly produced fricatives

Abstract: Research suggests that speakers can adopt a speaking style that allows them to be understood more easily when confronted with difficult communication situations, but few studies have examined the acoustic properties of clearly produced consonants in detail. This study attempts to characterize the type and magnitude of adaptations in the clear production of English fricatives in a carefully controlled range of communication situations. Ten female and ten male talkers produced nonsense syllables containing the e… Show more

“…Fricative consonants are produced with enhanced contrast in the first spectral moment in MDS [190] and speech addressed to older infants (12-14 months) but not younger infants (4-6 months) [66]. However, speakers do not enhance this contrast in noise [131] and may in fact reduce it [231].…”

“…Speech style can also affect fricative acoustics within speakers. Maniwa, Jongman, and Wade (2009) compared clearly spoken fricatives to fricatives in a conversational speech style in American English and found that clearly spoken fricatives had longer duration, higher resonance frequencies, and -surprisingly -lower relative amplitude. Moreover, individual speakers used different strategies for producing clear speech, which were not related to speaker gender.…”

“…Duration and amplitude of the frication are also related to place of articulation, primarily distinguishing sibilants from non-sibilants (Behrens & Blumstein, 1988;Baum & Blumstein, 1987;Crystal & House, 1988;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009;Strevens, 1960). Voicing is cued by changes in duration (Behrens & Blumstein, 1988;Baum & Blumstein, 1987;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009) and spectral properties (Stevens et al, 1992;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009). …”

“…This work suggests that place of articulation can be distinguished by the four spectral moments (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis of the frequency spectrum of the frication) (Forrest et al, 1988;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009), and by spectral changes in the onset of the subsequent vowel, particularly the second formant (Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Fowler, 1994;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009). Duration and amplitude of the frication are also related to place of articulation, primarily distinguishing sibilants from non-sibilants (Behrens & Blumstein, 1988;Baum & Blumstein, 1987;Crystal & House, 1988;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009;Strevens, 1960). Voicing is cued by changes in duration (Behrens & Blumstein, 1988;Baum & Blumstein, 1987;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009) and spectral properties (Stevens et al, 1992;Jongman, Wayland & Wong, 2000;Maniwa, Jongman & Wade, 2009).…”
