Abstract:
Most human communication is carried by modulations of the voice. However, a wide range of cultures has developed alternative forms of communication that make use of a whistled sound source. For example, whistling is used as a highly salient signal for capturing attention, and can have iconic cultural meanings such as the catcall, enact a formal code as in boatswain's calls or stand as a proxy for speech in whistled languages. We used real-time magnetic resonance imaging to examine the muscular control of whistling to describe a strong association between the shape of the tongue and the whistled frequency. This bioacoustic profile parallels the use of the tongue in vowel production. This is consistent with the role of whistled languages as proxies for spoken languages, in which one of the acoustical features of speech sounds is substituted with a frequency-modulated whistle. Furthermore, previous evidence that non-human apes may be capable of learning to whistle from humans suggests that these animals may have similar sensorimotor abilities to those that are used to support speech in humans.

Abstract:
Whistled speech is a form of modified speech where, in non-tonal languages, vowels and consonants are augmented and transposed to whistled frequencies, simplifying their timbre. According to previous studies, these transformations maintain some level of vowel recognition for naive listeners. Here, in a behavioral experiment, naive listeners' capacities for the categorization of four whistled consonants (/p/, /k/, /t/, and /s/) were analyzed. Results show patterns of correct responses and confusions that provide new insights into whistled speech perception, highlighting the importance of frequency modulation cues, transposed from phoneme formants, as well as the perceptual flexibility in processing these cues.

Abstract:
Whistled forms of languages are distributed worldwide and survive only in some of the most remote villages on the planet. They are not limited to a given continent, language family, or language structure, but they have been detected only sporadically by researchers and travelers, partly because they can be taken for nonlinguistic phenomena, such as simple signaling. Whistled speech consists of speaking while whistling to communicate at a long distance. The result is a melody that imitates modal speech and that remains intelligible for the interlocutors. This review proposes a typology of this special, little-known, natural speech type and takes socio-environmental and linguistic aspects into consideration. The amazing potential of this phenomenon to provide an alternative point of view into language diversity and speech offers a unique occasion to revisit human language with original insights embracing the adaptive flexibility that characterizes speech production and perception.

Abstract:
AbstractIn human speech, a finite set of basic sounds is combined into a (potentially) unlimited set of well-formed morphemes. Hockett (1960) placed this phenomenon under the term ‘duality of patterning’ and included it as one of the basic design features of human language. Of the thirteen basic design features Hockett proposed, duality of patterning is the least studied and it is still unclear how it evolved in language. Recent work shedding light on this is summarized in this paper and experimental data is presented. This data shows that combinatorial structure can emerge in an artificial whistled language through cultural transmission as an adaptation to human cognitive biases and learning. In this work the method of experimental iterated learning (Kirby et al. 2008) is used, in which a participant is trained on the reproductions of the utterances the previous participant learned. Participants learn and recall a system of sounds that are produced with a slide whistle. Transmission from participant to participant causes the whistle systems to change and become more learnable and more structured. These findings follow from qualitative observations, quantitative measures and a follow-up experiment that tests how well participants can learn the emerged whistled languages by generalizing from a few examples.

Abstract:
Vocal imitation is a hallmark of human communication that underlies the capacity to learn to speak and sing. Even so, poor vocal imitation abilities are surprisingly common in the general population and even expert vocalists cannot match the precision of a musical instrument. Although humans have evolved a greater degree of control over the laryngeal muscles that govern voice production, this ability may be underdeveloped compared with control over the articulatory muscles, such as the tongue and lips, volitional control of which emerged earlier in primate evolution. Human participants imitated simple melodies by either singing (i.e. producing pitch with the larynx) or whistling (i.e. producing pitch with the lips and tongue). Sung notes were systematically biased towards each individual's habitual pitch, which we hypothesize may act to conserve muscular effort. Furthermore, while participants who sung more precisely also whistled more precisely, sung imitations were less precise than whistled imitations. The laryngeal muscles that control voice production are under less precise control than the oral muscles that are involved in whistling. This imprecision may be due to the relatively recent evolution of volitional laryngeal-motor control in humans, which may be tuned just well enough for the coarse modulation of vocal-pitch in speech.

Abstract This paper looks at two closely related Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal, Chepang and Bhujel, in relation to certain supra-segmental features they possess which are involved in the distinction of minimal pairs. Since these features include pitch and glottalisation, the possible phonemic analyses of these in terms of either a supra-segmental solution (tone) or a segmental one (glottal plosive) are discussed. Given the latter, a non-tonal analysis for the present state of these languages, and the possibilities of one or both of these becoming tonal languages in the future, are considered. Also, Chepang is unusual in possessing a whistled form of speech and the relation of this to the spoken language is described. These features are exemplified in the Appendices by waveforms, fundamental frequency (F0) contours and spectrogram illustrations, and also by sound files.

Abstract:
In his speech at the Anti-corruption Summit Conference in Cape Town in 1998, the deputypresident of South Africa said that the culture of entitlement, so prevalent in ourcommunity, had contributed to the ‘name it, claim it’ syndrome where individuals soughtan elusive moral justification for engaging in criminal activity and that public servantswere obliged to serve the public with integrity (Speech of the …: 1998 [O]).Although the problem of corruption can be traced back to the 1960s in America and the1980s in South Africa, the concept of whistle blowing has become an importantphenomenon in modern organizations in the last decade. Subsequently, it is clear thatthe concept of whistle blowing should be conceptualized in terms of a theoreticalframework to provide a context for the analysis thereof. The main aim of this article istherefore to conduct an exploratory study, based on a comprehensive literature review,to explore, elucidate and critically assess the current status of whistle blowing in SouthAfrica. The first section of this article explores the development and theoretical perspectiveson the concept, and proposes perspectives on whistle blowing as a communicationphenomenon. The second section deals with the current status of whistle blowing inSouth Africa in terms of legislation and ethical considerations. The last sectionoperationalizes the whistle blowing process and proposes criteria for dealing with whistleblowing in the organization.

Abstract:
La perception de la parole est un processus qui doit s'adapter à un grand nombre de facteurs de variabilité. Ces variations, qui modifient le signal sonore, incluent des spécificités de production chez les locuteurs. En utilisant un signal de parole modifiée de manière expérimentale, nous pouvons cibler certains aspects du signal, pour mieux comprendre leurs rôles dans les processus perceptifs. Dans cette thèse, nous traitons une forme de parole naturellement modifiée, appelée « parole sifflée », pour explorer le rôle que jouent les indices acoustiques des phonèmes lors de la perception de la parole. Cependant, ces facteurs de variabilité concernent également la réception du signal, où l'écoute est influencée par l'expérience de chacun. Nous nous intéressons ici à l'effet de la pratique musicale classique sur la perception de la parole sifflée. La parole sifflée augmente le signal de la parole modale vers le registre de fréquences le mieux perçu par l'oreille humaine. Dans notre corpus, les voyelles se réduisent à des fréquences sifflées dans un registre propre à chaque voyelle, et les consonnes modifient ces fréquences selon leur articulation. Dans un premier temps, nous avons considéré la manière dont la parole sifflée est traitée par des personnes n'ayant jamais entendu ce mode de parole auparavant (écouteurs naïfs). Nous avons considéré quatre voyelles et quatre consonnes cible : /i,e,a,o/ et /k,p,s,t/, analysées dans un contexte isolé et dans la forme VCV, ainsi que dans des mots sifflés (choisis pour intégrer ces mêmes phonèmes). Nous avions ensuite considéré l'effet de la pratique musicale sur la perception de la parole sifflée, en nous intéressant également à différentes façades de l'impact de la pratique musicale : le type de traitement, le transfert de connaissance et l'effet du niveau et de l'instrument d'apprentissage.Les résultats montrent que tous les écouteurs catégorisent les phonèmes et les mots bien au-dessus du hasard, avec une préférence pour certaines caractéristiques acoustiques, soit des phonèmes (consonnes ou voyelles) ayant des contrastes de fréquence. Cette facilité est néanmoins affectée par le contexte du phonème (notamment dans le mot). Nous observons dans un second temps un effet de pratique musicale continue selon la quantité d'expérience, mais qui est d'autant plus marqué pour des personnes avec un haut niveau de pratique. Nous attribuons cet « avantage » musical à une meilleure exploitation d'indices acoustiques, permettant un transfert de connaissances musicales vers la parole sifflée, bien que l'effet de transfert reste inférieur à une expérience de pratique sifflée. Cette exploitation acoustique est spécifique à l'instrument pratiqué, avec un avantage marqué pour les flûtistes, surtout dans le traitement des consonnes. Ainsi, l'effet d'un entraînement, tel que la musique, améliore la performance selon la similarité du signal sonore d'un point de vue acoustique et articulatoire<br>Speech perception is a process that must adapt to a large amount of variability. These variations, including differences in production that depend on the speaker, modify the speech signal. By then using this modified speech signal in experimental studies, we can target certain aspects of speech and their role in the perceptive process. In this thesis, I considered a form of naturally modified speech known as “whistled speech” to further explore the role of acoustic phonological cues in the speech perception process. Variation, however, is not unique to speech production: it is also present among those perceiving speech and varies according to individual experience. Here, I analyzed the effect of classical music expertise on whistled speech perception. Whistled speech augments the modal spoken speech signal into higher frequencies corresponding to a register best perceived by human hearing. In our corpus, vowels are reduced to high whistled frequencies, in a pitch range specific to each vowel, and consonants modify these frequencies according to their articulation. First, we considered how naive listeners (who have never heard whistled speech before) perceive whistled speech. We targeted four vowels and four consonants: /i,e,a,o/ and /k,p,s,t/, which we considered in isolation or a VCV form, and in whistled words (chosen to incorporate the target phonemes). We then considered the effect of musical experience on these categorization tasks, also taking an interest in the transfer of knowledge and the effect of instrument expertise. In these studies, we observed that naive listeners categorize whistled phonemes and whistled words well over chance, with a preference for acoustic cues that characterize consonants and vowels with contrasting pitches. This preference is nonetheless affected by the context in which the phoneme is heard (especially in the word). We also observed an effect of musical expertise on categorization, which improved with more experience and was strongest for high-level classical musicians. We attributed these differences to better use of acoustic cues, allowing for a transfer of skills between musical knowledge and whistled speech perception, though performances due to musical experience are much lower than participants with a knowledge of whistled speech. These acoustic skills were also found to be specific to the instrument played, where flute players outperformed the other instrumentalists, particularly on consonant tasks. Thus, we suggest that the effect of training, such as music, improves one's performance on whistled speech perception according to the similarities between the sound signals, both in terms of acoustics and articulation

Abstract:
Bottlenose dolprlin (Tursiops trunratus) whistles are currently studied by subjective visual comparison of whistle spectrograms. This thesis describes the novel use of stochastic modeling to automate the comparison of dolphin whistles and to yield an objective, quantitative measure of whistle similarity. The relationship of bottlenose dolphin whistle production to a model of human speech production is discussed, providing a basis for the use of human speech recognition techniques for creating whistle models. Discrete hidden Markov models based on vector quantization of linear prediction coefficients are used to create whistle models based on statistical information derived from a sample set of dolphin whistles. Whistle model comparison results are presented indicating that evaluation of bottlenose dolphin whistles via hidden Markov modeling provides an objective measure of similarity between whistles. The results also demonstrate that hidden Markov models provide robustness against the effects of temporal and frequency variance in the comparison of whistles. The extensibility of stochastic modeling techniques to other animal vocalizations is discussed and possibilities for further work in areas such as the determination of possible structural components, similar to phonemes in human speech, is provided.<br>Master of Science

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis highlights the complex ways in which hate speech operates online, which ties into more general debates on online hate speech as something special. One way of elucidating this complexity is by dividing online hate speech into overt and covert. In doing so, we can gain a better understanding of both motivations for hate speech as well as insights in how to prevent it. While overt hate speech is widely discussed, there is not much discussion on covert hate speech. This is especially so when it comes to covert hate speech in online contexts. The questions this thesis raises are how hate speech operates online, and how we can understand this in terms of hate speech being overt or covert. By introducing two different ways of understanding overt and covert, via slurs and dog-whistles respectively, this thesis shows that covert hate speech also has some harmful consequences. If ambiguous terms laced with negative attitudes as communicative content seeps into the mainstream, there is a risk of normalisation of these negative attitudes. Given the ambiguity of these terms or statements, it makes it difficult to take proactive measures. With these results, I conclude that covert online hate speech is a vital part of understanding the mechanisms of hate speech overall.

Abstract:
This dissertation explores various ways of working with acoustic analyses of speech in music composition. The first chapter presents an overview of whistled languages and discusses their potential to act as blueprints for optimizing phonetic data for compositional use. The second chapter details my workflow for incorporating formant and fundamental frequency analysis data from the phonetics software Praat into my compositional methodology. Broadly inspired by the ways in which whistled utterances transform spoken language, the workflow consists of an analysis phase in Praat followed by the conversion, optimization and orchestration of the extracted phonetic data in the computer-assisted composition environments OpenMusic and bach. Also included in the dissertation are two compositions that are both informed by phonetics. The first composition, ŠÀ {karāz} for large ensemble, contains, among the various ways it attempts to instrumentally imitate speech, a section that is constructed with the help of the workflow described in the second chapter. The second composition, eschaton according to bēl-rē’u-šu for percussion trio, engages in a deconstruction of the established roles of speech and instruments in my music, in which the performers are, at times, asked to imitate the sounds of percussion instruments with their voice, in an attempt to blur the line between speech as “the imitated” and instruments as “the imitators.”

Abstract At this point, we have made a rather extensive investigation into the sounds that excite Helmholtz resonators as well as the departures from equilibrium that propagate as plane waves through uniform or inhomogeneous media. We have not, as yet, dealt with how those sounds are actually produced in fluids. Our experience tells us that sound can be generated by vibrating objects (e.g., loudspeaker cones, stringed musical instruments, drums, bells), by modulated or unstable flows (e.g., jet engine exhaust, whistles, fog horns, speech), by electrical discharges in the atmosphere (i.e., thunder), or by optical absorption (e.g., modulated laser beams). In this chapter, we will develop the perspective and tools that will be used for the calculation of the radiation efficiency of various sources and combinations of sources, like the sound reinforcement system shown in Fig. 12.1.

To break the Democrats’ Solid South, white Dixiecrats and Republicans coded racism even before Lee Atwater’s notorious Southern Strategy. In this chapter, Ryan Neville-Shepard locates a proto-Southern Strategy in Strom Thurmond’s rhetoric, particularly the Dixiecrats’ effort to develop a series of racist dog whistles to disrupt desegregation. Thurmond’s campaign speeches from the 1948 campaign are closely read in order to highlight the slow replacement of white supremacist catchphrases and slogans with discourse about constitutionalism, states’ rights and local control, as well as liberty and free market capitalism. These become part of a dominant conservative vernacular still used as mainstream political discourse in 2020, with loosely Southern associations that provide national electoral success.

Abstract:
Throughout the colonial period, the remarkable linguistic diversity of Indigenous America puzzled, amazed, and frustrated European colonists. But pre-Columbian Indigenous peoples across the continent were already experts at communicating with foreigners through alternate means, including whistle speech, smoke signals, and gestures. In this chapter, complex Indigenous nonverbal traditions of communication are situated within the rich linguistic landscape that existed in America prior to the colonial encounter. Native expressiveness, the author argues, must be understood through its multimedia combination of visual, verbal, material, and nonverbal dimensions. The chapter also offers an overview of the regions and cultures where early French colonists were most likely to encounter fully conventional forms of Indigenous sign language and other nonverbal practices, which profoundly shaped the form and outcome of early colonial interactions. The French often drew simplistic conclusions about the varying degrees of “civilization” or “barbarism” of the groups they met based on their communicational successes and failures with these groups. The chapter argues that their writings obscure (but can also reveal) the true diversity and richness of Indigenous communication in Northeastern North America, South America, and the Circum-Caribbean region.

Abstract:
Abstract If you were there, you probably haven’t forgotten. But get a good audience tape of New Year’s ‘81.-82 and listen to “Ter rapin.” Picture. if you will. 8.000 people. many still soaking wet (it rained a lot that day. and took a long time to get in). jammed into the ‘Oakland Auditorium. Listen to the band blazing. Garcia belting out the , lyrics with exceptional fervo and the rumble. By the time he gets to ‘the “Counting stars by candlelight” line. 8000 people are roaring along. matching him syllable for syllable through the crickets and cicadas. The .end and the beginning. the train putting its brakes on and the whistle screaming TERRAPIN! Not one of us has ever laid eyes on Terrapin Station. and we’d be hard pressed to define exactly what it was. but for that moment there was not the slightest doubt that if we listened hard enough. sang loud enough. and just hung in there. we could collectively lift that decrepit hall off its foundations and get there. Chances are. if youre reading this magazine. Robert Hunter’s lyrics have had a profound effect on your life. Whether you’re the scholarly type who pores over words and songlists with cabalistic intensity. or a more carefree soul who (as Hunter himself notes with a certain chagrin) hears “We can share Alice Kahn contributed distinctive humorous essays for years to the East Bay Express and.subsequently. The Jan Francisco Chronicle. where her column was nationally syndicated through 1994. The following piece on Garcia published in the San Jose Mercury sWest Magazine on December 30.1984. is unusual for its focus on his fonnative years in the Bay Area. Kahn has published three collections of her work, Multiple Sarcasm.published by the Ten Speed Press in1985: Mylife Asa Gal, published by Delacorte in 1987: which includes the excerpt below: and luncheon at the Cafe Ridiculous, published by Poseidon in1990.

Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce Transformer to the time-domain methods for single-channel speech separation. Transformer has the potential to boost speech separation performance because of its strong sequence modeling capability. However, its computational complexity, which grows quadratically with the sequence length, has made it largely inapplicable to speech applications. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel variation of Transformer, named multi-scale group Transformer (MSGT). The key ideas are group self-attention, which significantly reduces the complexity, and multi-scale fusion, which retains Transform's ability to capture long-term dependency. We implement two versions of MSGT with different complexities, and apply them to a well-known time-domain speech separation method called Conv-TasNet. By simply replacing the original temporal convolutional network (TCN) with MSGT, our approach called MSGT-TasNet achieves a large gain over Conv-TasNet on both WSJ0-2mix and WHAM! benchmarks. Without bells and whistles, the performance of MSGT-TasNet is already on par with the SOTA methods.
