computer-assisted phonetic analysis
Computer-assisted phonetic analysis involves using specialized software and digital tools to examine and measure speech sounds. It helps researchers accurately identify and analyze features like pitch, duration, resonance, and articulation in spoken language. By automating complex calculations and providing visual representations of sound waves and spectrograms, the method allows for precise and efficient study of phonetic properties. This approach enhances the understanding of how sounds are produced and vary across speakers, languages, and contexts, supporting linguistic research, speech therapy, and language technology development.
