论文摘要
本文分析了三种具有不同韵律系统的语言的违反语音数据集：英语，韩语和泰米尔语。我们检查39个声学测量值，反映了三个语音维度，包括语音质量，发音和韵律。作为多语言分析，通过可理解水平对声学测量的平均值进行检查。此外，执行自动清晰度分类以审查语言设置的最佳功能。分析表明发音特征，例如正确的辅音百分比，正确的元音百分比以及正确的音素的百分比是与语言无关的测量。但是，语音质量和韵律特征通常通过语言呈现不同的方面。实验结果还表明，不同的语音维度在不同语言中起着更大的作用：英语的韵律，韩语的发音，泰米尔语的韵律和发音。本文有助于言语病理学，因为它在英语，韩语和泰米尔语质心语音的可理解性分类中区分了语言独立和语言依赖性测量。
This paper analyzes dysarthric speech datasets from three languages with different prosodic systems: English, Korean, and Tamil. We inspect 39 acoustic measurements which reflect three speech dimensions including voice quality, pronunciation, and prosody. As multilingual analysis, examination on the mean values of acoustic measurements by intelligibility levels is conducted. Further, automatic intelligibility classification is performed to scrutinize the optimal feature set by languages. Analyses suggest pronunciation features, such as Percentage of Correct Consonants, Percentage of Correct Vowels, and Percentage of Correct Phonemes to be language-independent measurements. Voice quality and prosody features, however, generally present different aspects by languages. Experimental results additionally show that different speech dimension play a greater role for different languages: prosody for English, pronunciation for Korean, both prosody and pronunciation for Tamil. This paper contributes to speech pathology in that it differentiates between language-independent and language-dependent measurements in intelligibility classification for English, Korean, and Tamil dysarthric speech.
