Abstract

This paper reports an compared acoustic analysis on speech produced by two Korean groups, normal and AOS, focusing on utterances of V-CV structures. Major concerns include: 1) types of errors (distortion/substitution) according to the place of articulation, 2) duration of each syllable, 3) VOTs of stop sounds, and 4) F1 and F2 of vowels. In terms of the differences in these phonetic characteristics between the two groups, we aim to clarify some characteristics of AOS and to provide fundamental criteria for diagnosing and evaluating the disease.
