项目摘要

When a person speaks, their accent will differ along a number of dimensions. This includes theirproduction of different vowels or consonants, specific intonation patterns, and also overarchingaspects of voice quality, such as a creakiness (Laver 1980). For some individuals, or in particulardialects, an overarching nasal quality across all speech sounds can sometimes be heard. While allEnglish speakers produce nasal sounds in words spelt with 'n' or 'm', nasal voice quality refers to aproperty of all speech sounds achieved by air habitually resonating in the nose as well as in the mouth.While aspects of accent such as vowels and consonants are well-studied in the sociophoneticliterature, comparatively little is known about voice qualities such as overarching nasalisation. This isa clear gap in terms of the knowledge forensic speech practitioners require in order to performcasework assessing possible dialectal origins of suspect recordings. The project will utilise acombination of cutting-edge phonetic tools including nasal air flow, acoustic and auditory methods,and advanced statistical and computational analysis. The primary aim of the research is to inform thestudy of sociolinguistic variation from a phonetic perspective, whilst having impactful implications forforensic linguistics.

当一个人说话时，他们的口音会在沿着多个维度上有所不同。这包括他们的不同元音或辅音的产生，特定的语调模式，以及语音质量的总体方面，如吱吱声（Laver 1980）。对某些人来说，或在某些特殊情况下，有时可以听到所有语音中的总体鼻音。虽然所有英语使用者在拼写为“n”或“m”的单词时都会发出鼻音，但鼻音音质指的是所有语音的一种特性，这种特性是由空气习惯性地在鼻子和嘴巴中产生共鸣而实现的。尽管社会语音学文献中对元音和辅音等口音方面进行了充分研究，但对诸如总体鼻音化等语音质量的了解相对较少。这伊萨个明显的差距，在知识法医语音从业者需要，以执行个案评估可能的方言来源的嫌疑录音。该项目将利用先进的语音工具，包括鼻气流，声学和听觉方法，以及先进的统计和计算分析的组合。本研究的主要目的是从语音学的角度为社会语言学的变异研究提供信息，同时对法律语言学有影响。
