Abstract

Identifying speakers by their spoken output is a specialist task for forensic investigators. In the present study we focused on cross-linguistic speaker (Chinese, English, Dutch) identification based on (components of) English stops and fricatives, /p, b, t, d, k, g/ and the fricatives /f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ/. The contribution of English noise bursts to native language identification will be presented and the special tokens which contribute the most will be analyzed.
