Description/Abstract

The study of the acoustic characteristics of European Portuguese and British English fricatives as produced by two bilingual subjects, consisted of time and frequency analysis of words in a carrier sentence. Time-averaged power spectra were calculated and parameterised in order to aid comparisons across speaker, across corpus, and across language, and to gain insight into the production mechanisms underlying the language-specific variations.
