| Abstract(in English) | Acoustic substances of speech inevitably contain non-linguistic features, such as speaker identity, gender, age, etc. A novel structural representation of speech was recently proposed, where the dimensions indicating these factors are effectively removed. This representation is considered as physical implementation of structural phonology. With the representation, it is possible to describe learners' pronunciations by purely focusing on foreign accents caused by the mother tongue and effectively ignoring the non-linguistic factors of speech. In this report, using simulated speech data of Japanese students learning American English monophthongs, some results are shown about experiments of 1) recording history of learning monophthongs, 2) classification of learners only based on foreign accents not on the non-linguistic factors, and 3) automatic estimation of the order of vowel correction. |
