Recent years have seen numerous advances in natural language processing that can help
accelerate sociophonetic work. These include software to align speech recordings with their …

Sociophonetics focuses on the relationship between phonetic or phonological form on the
one hand, and social and regional factors on the other, working across fields as diverse as …

Kalasha, an endangered Dardic language (Indo-Aryan), is described as having series of
retroflex and retroflex-nasal vowels, each with five contrasting vowel qualities. This study …

While forced alignment has become an essential part of data processing in phonetic
research, state-of-the-art aligners are often exclusively tailor-made for majority dialects, such …

Speech corpora of many languages, styles, and formats exist in the world, representing
significant potential for the phonetic sciences. However in practice there are significant …

While different automated procedures for vowel formant prediction have recently been
proposed, it is unclear how reliably these methods perform in the phonetic study of vowels in …

Vowels are typically characterized in terms of their static position in formant space, though
vowels have also been long-known to undergo dynamic formant change over their …

This paper introduces a novel method for quantifying vowel overlap. There is a tension in
previous work between using multivariate measures, such as those derived from empirical …
