Palatalization in Korean is of two types — lexical palatalization governed by language-specific phonological rules, and post-lexical palatalization that appears to be purely phonetic. While lexical palatalization only occurs when a morpheme boundary intervenes between a target consonant and a palatalization trigger, po...

The term nasality refers to the timbre of the nasal phonemes. It is also used to express the quality of sound that characterises some speakers.

We introduce recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for acoustic modeling which are unfolded in time for a fixed number of time steps. The proposed models are feedforward networks with the property that the unfolded layers which correspond to the recurrent layer have time-shifted inputs and tied weight matrices. Besides the ...
