This paper presents exploratory research on temporally dynamic patterns of vowel nasalization from two speakers of Arabana. To derive a dynamic measure of nasality, we use gradient tree boosting algorithms to statistically learn the mapping between acoustics and vowel nasality in a speaker-specific manner. Three primary findings emerge: (1) NVN... [Read More]

Praat is a computer program that is widely used in the field of phonetics and speech-related studies. You can use it for analysing, synthesizing, and manipulating speech data, and you can use it to plot waveforms, spectragrams, ptich contours. [Read More]

The first thing I need to do whenever I run an R workshop is to provide my participants some motivations that why they should bother learning R. [Read More]
