ABSTRACT

Experimental analysis of Chinese aspirated plosive consonants is the basis analyze other kinds of consonants, and the plosive consonants preferably indicate the typical characteristics of consonants on the pronunciation mechanism and acoustic characteristics. Taking the plosive consonants as example, this paper took advantage of MATLAB programming and each consonant shall collected 100 syllables in total of 20 people (10 men and 10 women) as the experimental basis to establish the air pressure and airflow signal model through the sine function fitting, Gaussian function fitting, Cubic polynomial fitting, Fourier fitting and Exponential fitting of data in different intervals.It was concluded that the left part study area of the aspirated plosive [pha] air pressure signal was modeled by the sine function, and the right part study area of [pha] selection and airflow signals and all of [tha] were modeled by the Gaussian function.
