Paper
and presentation
present the framework of a speech model that offers an
explanation of how listeners can identify phonemes in an
incoming speech signal despite the vast amount of cross-speaker
and contextual variation. Presentation includes hybrid speech
examples. |

Hertz, S. R., Spencer, I. C., and Goldhor, R. (2004) When can
speech segments serve as surrogates?, Poster presented at From
Sound to Sense: 50+ Years of Discoveries in Speech Communication,
MIT. |
Poster outlines
hypotheses about the phonological, acoustic, and perceptual
factors that determine which segments can be replaced and which
segments can serve as "surrogates" for other segments.
Includes hybrid speech examples. |

consequences of nasal surrogates in English: Implications for
speech synthesis, Poster presented at the 147th Meeting of
the Acoustical Society of America. |
Poster describes experiments
involving syllable-initial nasal substitutions. These
experiments demonstrated that even voiced sonorants like nasals
can be replaced by surrogate segments with very different
properties from the original nasals. Includes hybrid
speech examples. |
