ABSTRACT:
When a speech signal that may include a sibilant consisting of one or more formants is received, frequencies and selectivity factors are determined for each sibilant formant in the speech signal. Then, the frequencies and selectivity factors are compared to a set of empirically derived criteria to classify the sibilant sound.
