Subject: Wrod Ilntilitgelibiy wtih Pnoheme Cufisonon From: David Klein <kleinsound@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 21:59:39 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>---1562933420-1021113989-1408078779=:63033 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 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 ;) ---1562933420-1021113989-1408078779=:63033 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div id="yiv5805419883"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div id="yiv5805419883yui_3_16_0_1_1408076918952_12177">Hi All,<br><br>I am seeking references on the subject of human speech intelligibility as a function of individual phoneme distortions.
