ItemAcoustic analysis of the effects of 24 hours of sustained wakefulnessVogel, AP ; Fletcher, J ; Maruff, P (Australasian Speech Science and Technology Association, 2010)The effect of 24 hours of sustained wakefulness on the speech of healthy adults is poorly documented. Therefore, speech samples were systematically acquired (e.g., every four hours) from 18 healthy adults over 24 hours. Stimuli included automated and extemporaneous tasks, sustained vowel and a read passage. Measures of timing and frequency were derived acoustically using Praat and significant changes were observed on all tasks. The effect of fatigue on speech was found to be strongest just before dawn (after 22 hours). Key features of timing (e.g., mean pause length), frequency (e.g., F4 variation) and power (alpha ratio) changed as a function of increasing levels of fatigue. Index Terms: fatigue, voice, tiredness, clinical marker

ItemMarking of focus in Indian English of L1 Bengali speakersMAXWELL, O (Australasian Speech Science and Technology Australia (ASSTA), 2010)A production experiment was designed to examine the effect of narrow focus structure on the intonational patterns of f0 and duration in English spoken by L1 Bengali speakers of English. The results show significantly higher pitch excursion on the accented words and a small increase in the duration of the accented syllable in narrow versus broad focus structures. In addition, the shape of the low rising f0 pattern used on narrow focused words is similar to the pattern observed in Bengali and could potentially be an additional cue to focus marking for English speakers of this L1 background. Index Terms: intonational phonology, Indian English, focus, rising pitch

ItemPhonetic cues to accentual prominence in Bengali EnglishMAXWELL, O ; Fletcher, J (City University of Hong Kong, 2011)This paper examines the acoustic correlates of accentual prominence in English spoken by L1 Bengali speakers. The acoustic phonetic correlates of stressed unaccented vowels, and stressed vowels produced in positions of narrow focus were compared. As observed for many varieties of English, the main correlates of accentual prominence in narrow focused contexts were presence of/and extent of f0 movement throughout the stressed vowel, followed by a concomitant increase in RMS-db. Vowels were also longer compared to stressed unaccented vowels although the differences were relatively small and highly variable.
