Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the relationship between linguistic
factors and speaker-dependent information in speech sounds, with a
particular focus on the Dutch language and on fricative and nasal
consonants. Using spontaneous telephone speech corpora, this work
provides an empirical contribution to forensic speech science by
aiming to answer the question of whether acoustic-phonetic features
from consonants should be extracted from and compared across different
linguistic environments, also considering the recording condition.

This thesis reports the results of a number of studies on the sources
of variation in consonant acoustics. First, it analyses the role of
phonetic context and syllabic position for speaker variation that is
present in fricative and nasal consonants, which have previously been
shown to be useful sounds in forensic speaker comparisons. Second, the
interactions between linguistic effects and recording conditions
(telephone versus microphone) are investigated. Finally, forensic
strength-of-evidence was derived using Bayesian likelihood-ratio
modelling to determine the practical consequences of these findings to
forensic speaker comparisons.
