| Abstract | Four previous studies by the 1st 2 authors and colleagues (1981, 1982) have shown that in normal adult listeners, phonetic information can be readily conveyed by sinewave replicas of speech signals. These tonal patterns were made of 3 sinusoids set equal in frequency and amplitude to the respective peaks of the 1st 3 formants of natural-speech utterances. Phonetic perception may depend on properties of coherent spectrum variation, a 2nd-order property of the acoustic signal. |
