This is the static phone category. It cannot be changed or removed Added so we can easily do the rewrite rule: s* >> [f* | v* | th* | dh*] transforms to: s* >> qt* >> [f* | v* | th* | dh*] Now works as: s* >> whistlehack transforms to: s* >> qt* >> whistlehack This is an "at rest" symbol that is used to start and terminate utterances without introducing ridiculous transitions etc! This is an "at rest" symbol that is used to start and terminate utterances without introducing ridiculous transitions etc! This primed version was shortened since the original data was statistically invalid (too few samples). We simply substituted the durations from uh'. Bumped qss values up to 30 from 14 We have fiddled the duration by plus 20 msec because the very short qss was causing impulse problems in paramater construction. We have fiddled the duration by plus 20 msec because the very short qss was causing impulse problems in paramater construction. This is an "at rest" symbol that is used to start and terminate utterances without introducing ridiculous transitions etc! This is an "at rest" symbol that is used to start and terminate utterances without introducing ridiculous transitions etc! Added for rewrite rule, to be inserted between s and whistlehack phones. Added for rewrite rule, to be inserted between s and whistlehack phones. Added for rewrite rule, to be inserted between z and whistlehack phones. Added for rewrite rule, to be inserted between z and whistlehack phones. We have fiddled the duration by plus 20 msec because the very short qss was causing impulse problems in paramater construction. We have doubled the qss's because uu tends to get underestimated as it is often final and dies away. We have increased the qss's because uu tends to get underestimated as it is often final and dies away. The "'" version is longer in proportion to the not-' version by rough comparison with other vowels. Yes!!! This is *very* ad hoc and Len disapproves! Nasalized this phone slightly (velum = 0.25). This results in better transitions with nasals (i.e. n y uu), and eliminates the bumping. Has no ill effects on y's in other, non-nasalized contexts. Nasalized this phone slightly (velum = 0.25). This results in better transitions with nasals (i.e. n y uu), and eliminates the bumping. Has no ill effects on y's in other, non-nasalized contexts. This is the one we are always looking for!! Namely rd - (qssa3/2)/tempo3 This is a simple straight line. In practice, and smoothly blended null transition is likely to be better if the end targets may vary throughout a string of postures. A smoothly fitted null triphone is to be found as "StopGlide" under "Carre". Clean up extra point (3 or 4) This is the same timing as the voicedStopClosure transition. Stop closure onset at qssb1, onset ends at qssb1 plus transition 2 (stop transition time).
