Research and Development of remotely controlled speechrecording/analysis tool appropriate for fiedworks

本研究的目的是开发小型、轻量级的远程控制语音记录/分析工具，用于互联网/内联网。为了实现这一目标，首席调查员和调查人员通过整合语音和音系学知识以及语音信息和图像信息处理技术进行合作。通过应用语音分析和语音识别等基于计算机的语音信息处理技术，我们旨在开发一个语音分析支持工具，该工具可以为各种类型的田野工作做出重大贡献，同时也使与研究实验室合作成为可能。作为开发语音记录/分析工具的基础研究，我们记录了来自各种语言及其方言的语音，并编辑了一份可以分析它们的邮件。对于某些…对于更多的信息者，我们除了记录他们的语音外，还记录了他们的正面和侧面的视频图像，从而分析了他们嘴巴的运动变化。首先，我们通过设计语音韵律信息的呈现方式，特别是音高模式的呈现方式，设计并改进了听觉印象的可视化方法。其次，我们将声调分析系统应用于声调语言的声调分析。第三，我们尝试了各种措施，使学生能够直观地识别音高模式的变化，并更容易地比较不同的声调。第四，我们利用语音分析的结果，推动了对AIDOR的研究，将该系统应用于语音分析。第五，考虑到田野调查的申请，我们推动了旨在使系统更加坚实和稳定的研究。在对所获得的研究成果进行评估时，我们被要求将研究结果应用于包括外语教学在内的应用语言学研究。因此，我们在外语课堂上对该系统进行了实验应用和改进。结果，我们得到的结果有力地表明了该系统在获取声调和喘息声音方面的有效性。此外，我们还在国内和国际会议上发表了关于我们的研究结果的论文。较少

This research was aimed as a basic research on the development of small, lightweight remotely controlled speech recording/analysis tools to be used over inter/intranet. They are suitable to carry for field research such as fieldwork in foreign countries and studies on dialects in Japan.To achieve this goal, the head investigator and investigators collaborated by integrating the knowledge on Phonetics and Phonology as well as speech info and image info processing technologies.By applying the computer-based speech information processing technology such as speech analysis and speech recognition, we aimed at developing a supporting tool for speech analysis which could make a significant contribution to various types of fieldwork while making it feasible to collaborate with re-tar& laboratories.As for the basic research to develop speech recording/analysis tools, we have recorded speech collected from various languages and their dialects, and edited an that they could be analyzed. For some … More informants, we have video-recorded images of frontal and lateral faces besides recording their speech, thus analyzing their kinetic changes of the mouth. First of all, we devised and improved the way to visualize the auditory impression by devising the presentation of prosodic information of speech sound, especially that of pitch patterns. Second, we developed our studies by applying the system for the analysis of tones of tonal languages.Third, we tried various measures an as to help it makes students to visually recognize the changes in pitch patterns and compare the different tones more easily. Fourth, we promoted studies in ardor to apply the system to phonological analysis by utilizing the findings from speech analysis. Fifth, taking application for fieldworks into consideration, we promoted studies which aim at making the system more solid and stable.When we tried to evaluate the obtained research results, we were asked to apply the results obtained from the research to applied linguistic research including foreign language teaching. Therefore, we experimentally used and improved the system in foreign language classrooms. As a result, we obtained a result which strongly indicates the effectiveness of the system in acquiring the tones and breathy voices.We organized the results obtained from the research in papers. In addition, we presented papers on the results of our research at national as well as international conferences. Less
