摘要:

The judgmental accuracy was measured in situations where absolute judgments about various categories on a response continuum are required. Instead of presenting a perceptual stimulus to which a subject must assign a numerical response, he is given a number from 1 to N and must then generate a corresponding motor response. The amounts of transmitted information in producing vocal sounds varying in only one dimension, either their intensity or duration, are compared to the amounts in identifying analogous signals. It has been concluded that decoding and encoding processes are similarly limited in information processing. By studying the anchor effects, it has also been hypothesized that every categorial judgment is binary.

摘要:

Daga syllable structure is complicated by the occurrence of up to three vowels acting as a single nucleus of the syllable and sequences of up to seven vocoids in a word. For high-back and mid-back vocoids three degrees of syllabicity are contrastive, and these have been analysed in terms of semivowels and phonemic syllable division. An alternative analysis in terms of word accent is rejected.

摘要:

In a detailed and critical analysis of the theoretical foundations of automatic speech recognition (ASE) and of their basis, the fundamentals of signal phonetics, it is shown that an unnecessary prerequisite is regarded as a constitutive condition. That is why the aim of ASE appears as a decoding of phonetic information. Contrarywise, it is attempted here to recognize the problem of ASE as the automation of a process of active phonetic information retrieval through iterative signal processing. For this purpose the construction of a complex vector structure is suggested which takes into account the phonological and linguistic knowledge of the relevant means of oral communication as well as the similarities and regularities that can be found in the signal domain. The process of active information retrieval is then defined by a system of rules which, with the help of this structure, relates incoming (communicative) signals to a text and which at the same time constantly adapts the vector structure on the basis of such relations. In view of this active retrieval procedure the ASE phoneme or word identification by static class features turns out to be a spurious and erroneous simplification.

摘要:

Comparable features of dialect differences between Black and White Standard English in the Central South of the United States are adduced to support the author’s hypothesis that the direction of speech programming proceeds from concept (la parole non-organisée) to verbalization (la parole organisée) and that in this process the phonological component can in no way be considered the last to appear, but is close to the semantic component and likely to precede the syntactic component. Tests of perceived well-formedness equally confirm this hypothe
