It is always more difficult for L2 speakers to produce the melody and tempo of continuous speech because it requires simultaneous planning of L2 linguistic specifications, higher level discourse associations and information placements. We assume that higher level planning requires within-phrase chunking and cross-phrase paragraph phrasing while information arrangements through emphasis weighting assignment and allocation. The above involved planning is most notably delivered through distinct global melodic modulations and patterns. The present compares the onset features of extracted Phrase Commands and their consistency with tagged discourse units and perceived emphases using speech data of L1 English, Taiwan (TW) L2 English and TW L1 Mandarin. Explicitly, we study F0 contour features to compare L1/L2 chunking units and their global patterns to pinpoint L2 features. Results of distinct TW L2 features compared with L1 English are (1) less consistent discourse chunking, (2) fewer distinct contours by prosodic words, (3) less degree of emphasis contrast in prosodic phrase and (4) more distinct contours in non-emphases. While (1) and (2) may reflect general L2 planning difficulties, our results show that (3) and (4) namely, flatter overall contour, are Mandarin inherent transferred to L2. We believe our proposed methods of extracted Phrase Command more accurately and better represent global melodic features that could be applied to other L1/L1 comparison in general; the findings could also be directly applied to CALL development of L2 prosody enhancement to improve overall intelligibility.

This paper presents a speech corpus that is developed for Urdu automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. The corpus comprises of single word utterances fixed vocabulary consisting of district names of Pakistan. The data is recorded over a telephone channel from all over Pakistan to cover six major accents; Punjabi, Urdu, Saraiki, Pashto, Sindhi, and Balochi. The data was collected in challenging acoustic environments; the major issues were silence, background noise and alternate pronunciations, which can affect the performance of the system. In order to address these issues, comprehensive data verification and cleaning guidelines are presented. The proposed process serves as a data preprocessing step for the development of ASR, which is successfully integrated in an Urdu dialog system to provide weather information of Pakistan.

Punjabi is an important Indo-Aryan languages spoken in India and in some other countries especially Pakistan. It is a tonal language and its phonetic and phonological aspects have not been studied very much. The present paper reports development of phonemically annotated speech database of Malwai dialect of Punjabi. A phonetically rich text database of 1500 words and 300 sentences from a corpus of about 300,000 words was created. These were recorded by 25 male and 25 female speaker format with sampling rate of 16 kHz and 16 bit. The recordings were made in the native places of speakers possessing the original version the Malwai dialect of Punjabi. The recorded data was segmented and labeled phonemically to get the phonemic and sub-phonemic elements of each phoneme and the tonemes of Punjabi language. The annotated database can be useful for phonetic studies and to develop Punjabi speech synthesis system.

This paper proposes an algorithm that is first known as a grapheme-to-phoneme method to transform any Vietnamese word to a tonal phoneme-based pronunciation. The tonal phoneme set produced by this algorithm is further used to develop some acoustic models which integrated tone information and tonal feature. The processes using the Kaldi toolkit to develop a LVCSR system and extract a bottleneck feature which is calculated from a trained deep neural network for Vietnamese are also presented. The results showed that the use of tonal phoneme improved by 1.54% of word error rate (WER) compared to the system using the nontonal phoneme, the use of tonal feature information improved by 4.65% of WER, and of the bottleneck feature gave the best WER with about 10% improvement.

Though Cantonese is the most influential variety of Chinese other than Mandarin, there are only a limited number of Cantonese corpora available for linguistic studies. Among the essential steps of building a corpus, word segmentation is a necessary but highly challenging task due to the lack of clear word boundary in Cantonese. This paper reports the construction and evaluation of an open-source automatic Cantonese word segmenter developed for Cantonese. The tool is a component of the multilingual SPPAS program designed to be used directly by linguists. It is a free software distributed under a GPL license. The effectiveness of the tool was evaluated by comparing the result of segmenting some samples of a spoken Cantonese corpus manually and automatically using the tool developed. High precision and recall were found in our study. Upon completion, the tool would definitely promote the development of more Cantonese corpora for language related studies.

English teaching has been carried out in every region of China. However, the teaching of English phonetics in minority regions faces the problems of poor teaching quality and low intelligibility of phonetic production. Under the framework of Speech Learning Model (SLM), the current research adopts the experimental phonetic approach to select 10 Lhasa students (5 male and 5 female) from the Corpus of Chinese, English, Tibetan by Tibetan Speakers (CETTS) and examine the characteristics of the vowel space of their English in continuous speech, with a purpose to explore minority students' phonetic transfer of L1 and L2 on L3 vowel system. Euclidean distances between Tibetan speakers' English and Tibetan, and between Tibetan speakers' English and Chinese, reveal the degree of phonetic transfer of Tibetan (L1) and Chinese (L2) on English (L3). Results show that the nonstandard English vowel production by Lhasa speakers are more influenced by the similar vowels in L1 or L2. Due to equivalence classification, Lhasa students' English vowels /a:/, /i:/ and /i/ are more influenced by Tibetan similar vowels, and their English vowels /α/ and /u:/ are more influenced by Chinese similar vowels. In addition, Tibetan female speakers' /α:/ is more influenced by the similar vowel in Chinese. The study has revealed that when Tibetan speakers learn L3, the interference seems to be partly from their L1 and partly from their L2. Therefore, in minority students' L3 vowel learning, both L1 and L2 have influence on their L3 vowel system.

English lexical stress is acoustically related to combination of fundamental frequency (F0), duration, intensity and vowel quality. Current study compares the use of these correlates by 10 L1 English and 20 L1 Bengali speakers to find out which correlates are most difficult for Bengali speakers to acquire. Results showed that English and Bengali speakers used the acoustic correlates of vowel duration, intensity and F0 in similar manner, but Bengali speakers produced significantly less English like stress patterns. English speakers reduced vowel duration significantly more in the unstressed vowels compared to Bengali speakers and degree of intensity and F0 increase in stressed vowels by English speakers was higher than that by Bengali speakers. Moreover Bengali speakers produced English like vowel quality in certain unstressed syllables, but in other cases there were significant differences in vowel quality across groups. This study supports the idea of interference from L1 to L2 (nonnative) phonology.

In the present paper, the synchronous Ultrasonic and EMA data of two participants were collected to observe the Tongue and Jaw movements during the production of zi and zhi in Mandarin Chinese. Results of data analysis partly verified the viewpoint that the performance of articulators in producing the two apical syllables are different, which in turn suggests that the vowels of the two apical syllables are totally different in nature, with the vowel after z as the voiced extension of that alveolar apical consonant, and the vowel after the post-alveolar consonant zh being a real apical vowel in Standard Chinese.

The present case study investigated the speech production and perception of developmental dyslexia through prosodic cues in Standard Chinese. As a non-alphabetic tonal language, there is a complex neurobiological mechanism between visual picture processing and semantic priming, perception and production of prosodic patterns. The experimental materials employed in the study were the syntactic structure of Double Object construction with various information structures. The results show that the dyslexic participant, a native Chinese adult, i.e. M6, had an impaired perceptual ability to discriminate boundaries and sentence accents in different information structures. While on the aspect of production, both sentence accents and boundaries produced by M6 could be perceived by other normal participants, however, every syntactic structure has a consistent pattern in all the focus conditions. The results implied that in normal participants, prosody processing (i.e., sentence accent and boundary perception) was interacted with higher-level information of language, such as syntactic and information structures, however, the dyslexic shows no such interactions.
