A Comprehensive Analysis of Age and Gender Effects in European Portuguese Oral Vowels

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader A Comprehensive Analysis of Age and Gender Effects in European Portuguese Oral Vowels Via Journal of Voice The knowledge about the age effects in speech acoustics is still disperse and incomplete. This study extends the analyses of the effects of age and gender on acoustics of European Portuguese (EP) oral vowels, in order to complement initial studies with limited sets of acoustic parameters, and to further investigate unclear or inconsistent results. A database of EP vowels produced by a group of 113 adults, aged between 35 and 97, was used. Duration, fundamental frequency (f0), formant frequencies (F1 to F3), and a selection of vowel space metrics (F1 and F2 range ratios, vowel articulation index [VAI] and formant centralization ratio [FCR]) were analyzed.
