Abstract

In this paper the control of fundamental frequency, intensity level of the radiated acoustic signal and voice quality is studied in normal conversational speech. It is shown that the physiological factors that best explain measured features of the speech wave depend on the part of the utterance taken into account. Also, it appears that in speech, transglottal pressure is more important than subglottal pressure. We conclude that currently available mathematical models that describe the waveform of glottal volume flow lack a number of parameters necessary for a better understanding of the physiological control of the speech parameters investigated in this study.
