# acoustic-phonetics SOURCE — the learned speech primitives, as INGESTIBLE DATA. # NOT audio, NOT code: formant geometry of the phonemes, to be ingested via the # ingest organ into the engram as a phoneme manifold. The render reads this # geometry back from the engram; nothing is frozen in EL code. # # PROVENANCE (audited, per-field honesty — no invented numbers): # * The 10 MONOPHTHONG VOWEL formants F1/F2/F3 (IY,IH,EH,AE,AA,AO,UH,UW,AH,ER) # are the MEASURED adult-male means of Peterson & Barney (1952), JASA 24:175-184 # — the canonical /hVd/ table, verified digit-for-digit vs CRAN phonTools::pb52. # These are real measured values. # * AX (schwa) F1/F2/F3 = neutral uniform-tube resonances (2n-1)*500 — a PHYSICS # value (Fant), not a P&B measurement. # * OW is a diphthong; its listed steady target is a conventional synthesis value, # not a P&B monophthong measurement. # * CONSONANT loci (M,N,NG,L,R,W,Y,Z,DH,V,S,F,HH) and ALL BANDWIDTHS (B1,B2,B3) # and dur/amp are STANDARD FORMANT-SYNTHESIS conventions (Klatt 1980, JASA 67:971 # "Software for a cascade/parallel formant synthesizer") — engineering defaults, # NOT per-phoneme field measurements. Labeled as such, not attributed to P&B. # Format: SYM|F1|F2|F3|B1|B2|B3|voiced|nasal|dur_ms|amp|class|example IY|270|2290|3010|60|90|150|1|0|130|100|vowel|beet IH|390|1990|2550|70|100|150|1|0|110|100|vowel|bit EH|530|1840|2480|80|100|150|1|0|130|100|vowel|bet AE|660|1720|2410|90|110|150|1|0|150|100|vowel|bat AA|730|1090|2440|90|110|150|1|0|150|100|vowel|bot AO|570|840|2410|80|100|150|1|0|140|100|vowel|bought UH|440|1020|2240|70|100|150|1|0|110|100|vowel|book UW|300|870|2240|70|90|150|1|0|140|100|vowel|boot AH|640|1190|2390|80|100|150|1|0|110|95|vowel|but ER|490|1350|1690|80|100|120|1|0|140|95|vowel|bird AX|500|1500|2500|80|100|150|1|0|80|85|vowel|about OW|490|910|2380|80|100|150|1|0|140|100|vowel|boat M|250|900|2200|90|120|180|1|1|80|60|nasal|map N|250|1700|2600|90|120|180|1|1|80|60|nasal|nap NG|250|2300|2700|90|120|180|1|1|80|60|nasal|sing L|360|1300|2600|80|110|160|1|0|70|80|approximant|lip R|490|1350|1600|80|110|120|1|0|80|85|approximant|rip W|300|610|2200|70|100|160|1|0|70|80|approximant|wet Y|270|2290|3010|60|90|150|1|0|60|80|approximant|yet Z|300|1700|2500|100|150|200|1|0|90|55|fricative|zoo DH|300|1400|2500|100|150|200|1|0|70|55|fricative|the V|300|1000|2300|100|150|200|1|0|70|55|fricative|van S|320|1700|2500|200|200|250|0|0|110|45|fricative|see F|300|1200|2400|200|200|250|0|0|100|40|fricative|fee HH|500|1500|2500|200|250|300|0|0|70|40|fricative|hat SIL|500|1500|2500|100|100|100|0|0|55|0|silence|_
