METHODS OF ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS
Abstract
The main target of this project is to analyze and find out the differences between
native (American) and Uzbek speakers of English language in different categories of
examples as: front and back vowels; voiced and voiceless stop sounds and also
determine consonant noise duration difference in onset and coda positions. I use the
program Praat as a tool of project. As you can see in the table below the table, I’ll
compare my pronunciation to American student’s. also I’d like to ask you focus on
another point that in tables I used seconds (s) instead of milli second (ms) to get more
clear view of differences in examples.
As pronunciation of sounds are different in Uzbek and English languages there
might be difficulties in pronouncing some some sounds, I try to find out these problems
also.
