  5. F1 rule • F1 Rule: the frequency of F1 tends to decrease with increases in tongue height • /a/: F1 = 730 Hz • /æ/: F1 = 660 Hz • /o/: F1 = 570 Hz • /e/: F1 = 530 Hz • /I/: F1 = 390 Hz • /u/: F1 = 300 Hz • /i/: F1 = 270 Hz low high

  10. F2 rule • F2 Rule: the frequency of F2 tends to decrease with backward tongue position. • /æ/: F2 = 1720 Hz • /e/: F2 = 1840 Hz • /I/: F2 = 1990 Hz • /i/: F2 = 2290 Hz • /a/: F2 = 1090 Hz • /o/: F2 = 840 Hz • /u/: F2 = 870 Hz front back

  22. short answer questions Which muscles close the jaw? • masseter • temporalis • medial pterygoid

  23. short answer questions What is shimmer?

  24. short answer questions What is shimmer? • Shimmer means the variability in the amplitude of vocal fold vibrations.

  27. Dysarthria • a motor speech disorder • weakness, paralysis or loss of coordination • affects muscles important for respiration, phonation, or articulation • due to a neurological disorder • often associated with swallowing impairment (dysphagia)

  28. Dysarthria • Dysarthria is a broad term: • upper motor neuron • spastic (e.g. due to multiple sclerosis) • hypokinetic (e.g. due to Parkinson’s disease) • hyperkinetic (e.g. due to Huntington’s disease) • ataxic (e.g. due to cerebellar disorder) • lower motor neuron • flaccid (e.g. damage of the cranial nerves)

  29. Dysarthria vowel and consonant duration • difficulties with the timing of speech • often weak, slow tongue movements • durations are longer and more variable than usual • normal speakers: about 5 syllables per second; patients with dysarthria usually have considerably less (~3 syllables per second)

  30. Dysarthria Vowel formants • reduced tongue motion • the tongue positions of the non-neutral vowels are not reached • tongue position is closer to the neutral ə (schwa) vowel • reduced range of F1 and F2 frequencies • is perceived as a vowel distortion

  31. Dysarthria Formant transitions • slower tongue movement • slope index: measured in Hz per ms (frequency change over time)

  32. Dysarthria consonants • Fricatives and affricates are particularly difficult due to a lack of precise tongue control

  33. Fricatives • air is forced through a constriction • pressurized air becomes turbulent • turbulent air results in white noise (frication) • white noise contains all frequencies with an evenly distribution of intensity over frequencies. thy

  34. Affricates • one place of articulation in english: palatal • “ch”, “j” • combine the features of stops and fricatives: stop gap + frication noise chin

  35. Hearing impairment • no acoustic feedback • most frequent: distortion of vowels • imprecise tongue position

  36. Models of speech production system

  37. Models of speech production system model articulation phonation respiration

  38. Models of speech production • How does the brain produce all those movements that are necessary for speech production? • the brain controls every muscle independently (unlikely) vs. • the brain executes more complex motor programs for entire phonemes or even syllables (much more likely)

  39. Models of speech production • How can the brain adjust these motor programs if necessary (assimilation, coarticulation, speaking with a pen between the teeth)? • spatial target model: the brain executes motor programs that point to specific anatomical targets • acoustic target model: the brain executes motor programs that are optimized to produce certain acoustic features (F1, F2, etc.)

  40. Models of speech production • How can the brain produce speech that fast? • motor programs control many muscles at once • connectionist models (spreading activation models, parallel-distributed processing models) emphasize parallel processing: different commands can be executed at the same time (essential for e.g. coarticulation)
