On this page you'll find 10+ example sentences with Formant. Discover the meaning, how to use the word correctly in a sentence.
Formant meaning
- A band of frequencies, in a sound spectrum, that have a greater intensity; they determine the quality of a sound; especially the characteristic sounds of the consonants.
- Synonym of formative (“language unit, typically a morph, that has a morphological function”).

Corpus analysis for Formant
- In this selection, "formant" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 22.3 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, first, third, term, space, synthesis and preservation stand out and add context to how "formant" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include an additional formant around 2500 and based on formant synthesis technology. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "formant" sits close to words such as aaditya, aardman and abbo, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
Example types with formant
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Nasal consonants usually have an additional formant around 2500 Hz. (10 words)
The first formant, abbreviated "F1", corresponds to vowel openness (vowel height). (11 words)
It was in these papers that the term formant was first introduced. (12 words)
Because formant-based systems have complete control of all aspects of the output speech, a wide variety of prosodies and intonations can be output, conveying not just questions and statements, but a variety of emotions and tones of voice. (39 words)
Formants Formants are the resonant frequencies of the vocal tract that emphasize particular voice harmonics near in frequency to the resonance or turbulent non-periodic energy ( noise ), near the formant frequency in the case of whispered speech. (37 words)
If the fundamental frequency of the underlying vibration is higher than a resonance frequency of the system, then the formant usually imparted by that resonance will be mostly lost. (29 words)
Example sentences (19)
Rounded vowels that are front in tongue position are front-central in formant space, while unrounded vowels that are back in articulation are back-central in formant space.
It offers a range of features, including key detection, real-time pitch correction, advanced vibrato control, and formant preservation.
As with vowel height, however, it is defined by a formant of the voice, in this case the second, F2, not by the position of the tongue.
Because formant-based systems have complete control of all aspects of the output speech, a wide variety of prosodies and intonations can be output, conveying not just questions and statements, but a variety of emotions and tones of voice.
Formants Formants are the resonant frequencies of the vocal tract that emphasize particular voice harmonics near in frequency to the resonance or turbulent non-periodic energy ( noise ), near the formant frequency in the case of whispered speech.
Formant-synthesized speech can be reliably intelligible, even at very high speeds, avoiding the acoustic glitches that commonly plague concatenative systems.
Formant synthesizers are usually smaller programs than concatenative systems because they do not have a database of speech samples.
Height is defined by the inverse of the F1 value: The higher the frequency of the first formant, the lower (more open) the vowel.
However, acoustically, rounded vowels are defined by the third formant, F3, which does not have a direct correspondence with rounded lips.
However, maximum naturalness is not always the goal of a speech synthesis system, and formant synthesis systems have advantages over concatenative systems.
If the fundamental frequency of the underlying vibration is higher than a resonance frequency of the system, then the formant usually imparted by that resonance will be mostly lost.
It was in these papers that the term formant was first introduced.
Many systems based on formant synthesis technology generate artificial, robotic-sounding speech that would never be mistaken for human speech.
Nasal consonants usually have an additional formant around 2500 Hz.
Similarly, once held uniquely human traits such as formant perception, combinatorial phonology and compositional semantics are now thought to be shared with at least some nonhuman animal species.
The first formant, abbreviated "F1", corresponds to vowel openness (vowel height).
The two primary technologies generating synthetic speech waveforms are concatenative synthesis and formant synthesis.
Thus, the placement of unrounded vowels to the left of rounded vowels on the IPA vowel chart is reflective of their position in formant space.
Time-varying formant frequencies and amplitudes derived by linear predictive coding were synthesized additively as pure tone whistles.
