Rd as a control parameter to explore affective correlates of the tense-lax continuum
Yanushevskaya, Irena; Gobl, Christer; Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Murphy, Andrew (2017)This study uses the Rd glottal waveshape parameter to simulate the phonatory tense-lax continuum and to explore its affective correlates in terms of activation and valence. Based on a natural utterance which was inverse ... -
The role of voice quality in the perception of prominence in synthetic speech
Yanushevskaya, Irena; Gobl, Christer; Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Murphy, Andrew (2019)This paper explores how prominence can be modelled in speech synthesis through voice quality variation. Synthetic utterances varying in voice quality (breathy, modal, tense) were generated using a glottal source model ... -
Shaw, Á., & Yanushevskaya, I. (2021). Students' views and experiences of the training and use of phonetic transcription in speech and language therapy: the Irish perspective
Yanushevskaya, Irena (2021)Phonetic transcription is an essential skill for practising SLTs required during the assessment, diagnosis and management of clients with speech difficulties Student SLTs must receive appropriate training to carry out ... -
Students' views and experiences of the training and use of phonetic transcription in speech and language therapy: the Irish perspective
Yanushevskaya, Irena (2021)Phonetic transcription is an essential skill for a practising speech and language therapist (SLT) required during the assessment, diagnosis and management of clients with speech difficulties. It is vital that appropriate ... -
Time- and amplitude-based voice source correlates of emotional portrayals
Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Gobl, Christer; Yanushevskaya, Irena (Springer, 2007)A detailed analysis of glottal source parameters is presented for emotional portrayals which included both low and high activation states: neutral, bored, sad, and happy, surprised, angry. Time- and amplitude-based glottal ... -
Universal and language-specific perception of affect from voice
Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Gobl, Christer; Yanushevskaya, Irena (2011)This paper outlines the general results of a cross-language study of perception of affect from voice. The study aims to clarify how variations in voice quality (in synthesized stimuli) can evoke different affective coloring ... -
Using phonetic feature extraction to determine optimal speech regions for maximising the effectiveness of glottal source analysis
Yanushevskaya, Irena (2013)Parameterisation of the glottal source has become increasingly useful for speech technology. For many applications it may be desirable to restrict the glottal source feature data to only speech regions where it can be ... -
Voice assessment practices of speech and language therapists in Ireland
Yanushevskaya, Irena (2019)Evidence supports the need for a multiparametric voice assessment incorporating objective and subjective assessment types. European guidelines and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association recommend a comprehensive ... -
Voice parameter dynamics in portrayed emotions
Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Gobl, Christer; Yanushevskaya, Irena (Firenze University Press, 2009)This paper is concerned with voice source variation associated with different emotional portrayals of an utterance: bored, sad, happy, surprised, angry and neutral. The source analyses involved pulse-by-pulse inverse ... -
The voice prominence hypothesis: the interplay of F0 and voice source features in accentuation
Yanushevskaya, Irena (2013)This paper explores the interplay of source correlates of accentuation, examining a hypothesis (the Voice Prominence Hypothesis) that different source parameters are involved and may serve as equivalent. It predicts that ... -
Voice source dynamics in intonation
Ni Chasaide, Ailbhe; Gobl, Christer; Yanushevskaya, Irena (2011)A qualitative analysis of voice source dynamics is presented for utterances varying in focal place- ment, with falling (F) and rising (R) pitch. Source parameters, F0, EE, UP, RG, OQ and RD were obtained by manual ...
