At different floor levels in the accommodation building, the speech level and RT20 at 500 Hz were decreased by the vegetation by up to 5.5 dBA and 66% (1.1 s), respectively.
At the connected speech level, Nguyễn and Ingram (2004) found that the transfer of many segmental, prosodic, timing and syllable structure from Vietnamese phonological system such as checked stop, implosive stop, vowel quality, suppression of vowel reduction and checked tones was also evidenced in advanced Vietnamese speakers of English.
The resulting speech corpus will serve as the empirical basis for detailed modeling of the trajectories of sound change, both at the individual level as well as at the speech community level.
In contrast, at the speech production level articulatory processing is facilitated for syllables that are in frequent use [Levelt and Wheeldon, 1994; see also Levelt, 1989; Levelt et al., 1999].
The experiment was conducted in the absence of any disturbing background noise at a speech level approaching the threshold of hearing (22 dB(A) re 20 μPa).
To represent the full richness, speed, and subtlety of the mind at work, the writer incorporates snatches of incoherent thought, ungrammatical constructions, and free association of ideas, images, and words at the pre-speech level.
Renovations often put too much emphasis on adding sound absorption to control reverberation, at the expense of lower speech levels, particularly at the backs of classrooms.
Keyness analysis (Rayson, 2008) at the part-of-speech level highlights the linguistic features which deserve particular attention.
The tests were conducted at speech levels of 35 dB(A), 45 dB(A) and 55 dB(A) for signal to noise ratios of −5, 0 and +5 dB.
The score at 70 dB SPL (normal speech level) was then compared.
In the algorithm we developed, the speech data was sampled at 16 kHz and input speech level was set to −26 dBov.
