Figure 11-1: Spectrum analysis of a speech waveform
2. Within each set of vowels, spectra associated with each consonant
are surprisingly invariant, and formant transitions into the vowel
obey a modified “locus” equation.
These conclusions are illustrated in the next two figures. Figure 11-3 displays
average spectra of plosive bursts before each vowel. Each curve is the average of
six tokens of a syllable obtained from a single talker. Burst spectra are similar be-
fore vowels in a particular category, even though these (linear prediction) spectra
have not been normalized for speaking level. Burst spectra for GG differ strikingly
across vowel sets, and burst spectra for DD are modified before rounded vowels.
Similar changes are seen for voiceless plosives and for fricatives.
