A framework for labeling speech with acoustic cues to linguistic distinctive features

Abstract

Acoustic cues are characteristic patterns in the speech signal that provide lexical, prosodic, or additional information, such as speaker identity. In particular, acoustic cues related to linguistic distinctive features can be extracted and marked from the speech signal. These acoustic cues can be used to infer the intended underlying phoneme sequence in an utterance. This study describes a framework for labeling acoustic cues in speech, including a suite of canonical cue prediction algorithms that facilitates manual labeling and provides a standard for analyzing variations in the surface realizations. A brief examination of subsets of annotated speech data shows that labeling acoustic cues opens the possibility of detailed analyses of cue modification patterns in speech.

From Cues to Features: Bridging Psycho- and Sociolinguistics in the Development of Non-Native English Stimuli

“…There are few available resources that align cues and features, for instance, McMurray and Jongman (2011) have constructed a corpus of fricatives and their relative cue values, which can be used for acoustic analysis and modelling. Huilgol et al (2019) have developed a system to annotate audio corpora with cues for more accurate analysis. In their framework, variability is not considered as noise, but a normal constituent of languagephoneme sequences are made up of "combinations of cues drawn from the set of relevant acoustic cues for each feature" (Huilgol et al, 2019, p. 2).…”
