This paper surveys human-inspired speech technologies developed for European
Portuguese and the computational models they integrate and made them possible. In this …

European Portuguese (EP) is characterized by a large number of nasals encompassing five
phonemic nasal vowels. One notable characteristic of these sounds is their dynamic nature …

The study of dynamic aspects of speech production in Portuguese is very important to
characterize vowel nasalization. In this context, the analysis of velum movement remains a …

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is a nuclear medicine functional imaging
technique and as such it is expensive to perform and subjects the human body to radiation …

One of Portuguese distinctive marks is the large inventory of nasals, including 5 nasal
vowels and many diphthongs. Acoustic and articulatory studies showed nasal vowels having …

European Portuguese (EP) nasal vowels are characterised by their dynamic nature entailing
