Subject: Re: objective segmenting From: Stefan Crawcour <stephen_crawcour(at)YAHOO.COM> Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2005 04:35:36 -0800--0-1649732758-1132403736=:40425 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Dear Bernard, thank you very much for your reply and the bibliographic references. I fully agree with your statement, when applied to spontaneous speech. But what if we are dealing with the same sentence that is read by different people ? Here the distinction between nouns and verbs should be clear. If for sentences read aloud, I decided to take the following criterion: segment sound [a] from the word [kat] , and segment at the first formant value that carries a linear difference of more than so and so many Herz from the preceding formant value, would that serve my purpose, since the formant values are different for each sound ?
