Bioengmsa@yahoo.com , ahkandil_1@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This paper introduces a double stage speaker independent segmentation system for the breaking-up of Arabic spoken sentences into its isolated syllables. The main goal is to implement an accurate system for the construction of acoustical Arabic syllables database. Syllable-Based Arabic Speech Verification/Recognition is the prospective goal for this work. The study experimented the employing of the template matching technique with a selected acoustical features for the allocation of syllables with sharp boundaries. The proposed methods can manipulate the explored features in two stages of decomposition to segment 2544 syllables from a sample size of 276 utterances achieving segmentation consistency rate of about 91.5 %.

Introduction S ignal and information processing areas concerns the representation, analysis, and communication of the information in various types of signals including audio, video, and biological or sensory data. Speech and natural language processing (SNLP) is spreaded across
Phonological awareness involves the detection and manipulation of sounds at three levels of sound structure: (1) syllables, (2) onsets and rimes, and (3) phonemes.
When starting the Yopp-Singer test of phoneme segmentation, Carmen performance is the majority of the words were done well. She was quickly responsive in pronouncing the words and breaking them based on their sound. Out of the 22 words, Carmen pronounce 16 correctly.
Assumptions about gender are embedded in scientific bias. In Cordelia Fine’s From Scanner to Sound Bite: Issues in Interpreting and Reporting Sex Differences in the Brain, the author examines four scientific issues that are overlooked about sex differences in the brain. She concludes that there are numerous misinterpretations of neuroimaging research that ultimately influence gender biases, and society should be cautious when reading these articles about sex differences.
Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, as well as in words) in order to address a question or solve a problem.
Lastly, the ability to incorporate technology, understanding human behavior, and the ability to learn the nuances of language will allow information professionals to establish systems dedicated to the needs of the public. Arthur and

Information and communication technology is a term that incorporates devices or applications in which we use and manipulate. Such devices include, but are not limited to, the internet, television, social media, blogs and microblogs, software and hardware, cell phones, Web 2.0, or any other technology that can be used
The onset in Somali syllable structure provokes considerable argument among scholars who are interested in the syllable structure in this language. Owrin (1996) and Saeed (1999) agree that onset is mandatory in this language whereas Zetterholm and Tronnier (2012) state onsets are as optional as codas in this language. Therefore, this research is to investigate whether onsets in Somali syllable structure are mandatory or optional in light of Optimality Theory (OT), as a framework. This study primarily depends on data taken from extant literature including books, articles, and theses. Furthermore, 10 Somali native speakers were consulted about the fact of data. This study concludes that consonant epenthesis as well as resyllbification manifest the importance of onsets in Somali. Consonant epenthesis occurs initially when a monosyllable word begins with a vowel (onsetless syllable), e.g., /èj/→ [ʔèj] ‘dog’. Likewise, this type of epenthesis is found in the intervocalic position when syllables of the form CV are associated with vowel-initial suffixes, e.g. /ma-a:n/→ [ma.Ɂa:n] ‘not I’. The process of resyllabification in Somali is motivated by syllable types CVC and CVVC that are associated with vowel-initial suffixes, e.g. /na:ɡ-i/→[na:.ɡi] ‘woman’, /war.qad-u:/→ [war.qa.du:] formal letters’.

Full phoneme segmentation: Counting out the number of syllables. Speech practice with CVC words. Have students participate in silent reading and use their own ability to sound out words they don’t know with syllable practice. Students can count the number of syllables in a rhyme or poem, they can clap together counting syllables in
Linguistic discrimination is an important issue; many have been discriminated and excluded from the public sphere due to their disability to practice the standardized language. In the Arab world, when second language speakers try to talk Arabic, they seem to have difficulties with the pronunciations. Consequently, this leads to limitations during the blending in procedures. The explanation
As the speaker continues more information is given. The listener is then able to collect the verbal and non-verbal data to gain a better understanding of what is being communicated (Eunson 2008: 310).
Abstract: This article will present some considerations on syllable division in order to help EFL learners. Some theories will be presented so that it is possible to check the various studies on such important topic. A scheme about separating the syllables will be shown and a topic on ambisyllabicity as well.
Although the lexicon has become a main component of the contemporary syntactic theories, the scientific study of English-Arabic lexicography has received little attention in the literature. Most English-Arabic dictionaries are made for commercial purposes: words are collected and arranged alphabetically and lists of senses are cramped without any indications to sense distinctions or usage guidelines. This totally impoverished coverage does not reflect the vibrancy of the field of lexicology and its role in modern syntactic theories. Thus, this paper aims at discussing problems of building English-Arabic Lexicons and proposing a novel way of building lexicons through providing clear cut distinctions between the senses of a lexical entry by determining the context of a lexical entry through employing frame technique and providing corpus-based example sentences.
In this section, we will discuss what has been done in this area of unsupervised music transcription. Undoubtedly there are different aspects to this task. And different ways and techniques are used in attempt to solve this problem efficiently and accurately. In an effort to provide a clear picture of what has been done, we will categorize different approaches based on technique used.
