Offline Speech Recognition With PocketSphinx. Acoustic Phonetics: Formants. Formants For the purposes of distinguishing vowels from each other, we are more interested in the frequency response curves (indicating the preferred resonating frequencies of the vocal tract) rather than in the raw spectrum of the wave.

Acoustic Phonetics: Formants

Each of the preferred resonanting frequencies of the vocal tract (each bump in the frequency response curve) is known as a formant . They are usually referred to as F1, F2, F3, etc. For example, the formants for a schwa as spoken by an adult male whose vocal tract is 17 centimetres long: (People whose vocal tracts are longer or shorter than 17 cm will have different frequencies for these formants, but the pattern of 1x-3x-5x will be the same.) By changing the vocal tract away from a perfect tube, you can change the frequencies that it prefers to vibrate at.

Regional Dialect Meme. About Regional Dialect Meme (a.k.a “Regional Dialect Challenge”) is a YouTube video fad in which English-speakers from various regions of the world enunciate a list of 30 words and respond to a series of questions in their native dialects and accents. This is intended to highlight the various ways certain words can be pronounced as well as different slang terms that exist in assorted parts of the world.

Quelques problèmes métalinguistiques en phonologie de l'anglais. 1Cette contribution a pour corpus privilégié la métalangue des enseignants et des manuels français de phonologie anglaise1, et, ponctuellement, des étudiants.A partir de quelques problèmes concrets, nous envisagerons les questions théoriques propres au rapport entre l’objet langue envisagé sous sa matérialité sonore et les discours construits pour en rendre compte.

Certaines des questions ici soulevées seront plus spécifiques aux anglicistes, en particulier le statut de la variété décrite et surtout la place prépondérante que l’accent lexical ou les relations grapho-phonématiques (entre écriture et prononciation) occupent dans la description de cette langue en France2. Pour autant, quelques-unes de ces questions ne se limiteront pas au seul enseignement de l’anglais aux francophones. 2Ces questions de représentations métalinguistiques liées à la phonologie de l'anglais seront étudiées ici exclusivement au plan segmental3. 11Au début était l'écrit.
