## styler2017_figure1.jpg The image presents two side-by-side spectrograms labeled 'gars' [ga] on the left and 'gant' [gã] on the right. These spectrograms are used in phonetics and linguistics to visualize the frequency content of speech sounds over time. ### Spectrogram Details: #### Left Side: 'gars' [ga] - The x-axis represents frequency, ranging from 0 MHz (left) to approximately 5 MHz (right). - The y-axis represents amplitude, with values measured in decibels (dB), ranging from around -60 dB at the bottom to about +30 dB near the top. - Peaks are labeled as F1, F2, and F3, which correspond to formants of the speech sound. Formants are resonant frequencies that give a sound its characteristic quality. - **F1** is located around 500 Hz (left side). - **F2** is positioned at approximately 1800 Hz. - **F3** appears near 4000 Hz. #### Right Side: 'gant' [gã] - The structure of the spectrogram for 'gant' closely resembles that of 'gars', with similar labeled formants F1, F2, and F3. - The frequency range is consistent (0 MHz to approximately 5 MHz). - The amplitude levels are also comparable, with peaks at around -60 dB near the bottom and +30 dB near the top. ### Formant Labels: - **F0** is labeled as "P0" in both spectrograms. This typically represents the fundamental frequency of the sound. - **A1-P0**, **A2-P0**, and **A3-P0** are annotations indicating amplitude peaks associated with P0, which might be related to the formant structure or other phonetic features. ### Observations: Both 'gars' [ga] and 'gant' [gã] spectrograms show similar patterns in their formants. The presence of three distinct formants (F1, F2, and F3) is consistent across both words, suggesting that the speech sounds are produced with a similar phonetic structure. ### People: There are no people depicted or mentioned in this image; it focuses solely on spectrograms representing speech sounds 'gars' [ga] and 'gant' [gã].
