Dvaid,
What exactly do you mean bu phoneme distortion?

Pardon the typos, it's Apple's fault.
Hi All,
I am seeking references on the subject of human speech intelligibility as a function of individual phoneme distortions. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Can anybody help point me in the right direction?
I'd specifically like to know how word intelligibility holds up when distortions of a particular phoneme class would cause members of that class to be highly confusable when presented in isolation.
More generally, I wonder how well humans can do when consonants are relatively clear but vowels are highly ambiguous.
I
suppose two ways this might have been studied would have been using, on the one hand, noise or channel distortions specifically targeted to distorting certain phoneme classes; or, on the other hand, manipulating the signal by switching certain phonemes to other perceptually nearby phonemes.
Cheers,
Dvaid ;)
