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

本研究的目的是作为一个基础研究的小型，轻量级的远程控制的语音记录/分析工具，用于在互联网/内联网的发展。为了实现这一目标，首席研究员和研究员通过整合语音学和音系学的知识以及语音信息和图像信息处理技术进行合作。通过应用基于计算机的语音信息处理技术，如语音分析和语音识别，我们的目标是开发一种支持语音分析的工具，这种工具可以为各种类型的实地工作做出重大贡献，同时可以与研究和实验室合作。至于开发语音记录/分析工具的基础研究，我们记录了从各种语言及其方言中收集的语音，并编辑了它们，使它们可以被分析。对于一些 ...更多信息 被调查者，我们除了记录他们的讲话，还记录了他们的正面和侧面的视频图像，从而分析了他们的嘴的动态变化。首先，我们设计并改进了听觉印象的可视化方法，设计了语音韵律信息的呈现，特别是音高模式的呈现。第二，我们将本系统应用于声调语言的声调分析中，以发展我们的研究;第三，我们尝试各种措施，以帮助学生更容易地从视觉上识别音高模式的变化，并比较不同的声调。第四，利用语音分析的结果，积极推进系统在音系分析中的应用研究。第五，考虑到实地调查的应用性，推进了旨在使体系更加稳固的研究。在对研究成果进行评价时，要求将研究成果应用于包括外语教学在内的应用语言学研究。因此，我们在外语课堂上实验性地使用和改进了该系统。结果，我们得到了一个结果，这有力地表明了该系统在获取音调和呼吸声的有效性。此外，我们在国家和国际会议上提交了关于我们研究成果的论文。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
