A phonetically based metric of sound similarity

This paper examines similarity measures based on acoustic and articulatory data from a set of crosslinguistically frequent consonants and vowels, and compares this phonetic similarity with measures of phonological similarity that are based on the crosslinguistic patterning of phonemes associated with these sounds.

► A phonetic similarity metric based on phonetic data.
► Audio, video, ultrasound, airflow, and electroglottograph data for 58 consonants and vowels.
► Comparison with measures of phonological similarity based on a database of phonological patterns.
