Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography

Edit this section to compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Add the name and/or notes about what each source covers, then use the "Cite" button to generate the citation for that source.

Examples:

Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press.
- This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source. It also covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo (2013-11-08). "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John (2016). "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source for a specific fact. Since it only dedicates a few sentences to the topic, it can't be used to establish notability.

Van Way, John (2018-05). "The Phonetics and Phonology of Nyagrong Minyag, an Endangered Language of Western China".

This is an article explores the phonetic and phonological features of Nyagrong Minyag, a critically endangered Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Western China. It uses Praat to provide detailed analysis of its sound system, highlighting both unique and endangered linguistic characteristics within the broader context of language preservation efforts.^[1]

Kibria, S. (2020). "Acoustic Analysis of the Speakers' Variability for Regional Accent-Affected Pronunciation in Bangladeshi Bangla: A Study on Sylheti Accent". IEEE Access. 8: 35200–35221.

This article examines how regional accents, specifically the Sylheti accent, affect the pronunciation of Bangladeshi Bangla speakers. It uses Praat to do acoustic analysis to assess the variability in speech patterns among speakers from the Sylhet region, highlighting distinctive phonetic features of the accent.^[2]

Maryn, Youri (2017). "Practical Acoustics in Clinical Voice Assessment: A Praat Primer" (PDF). American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. 2: 14–32.

This article provides a practical guide on using Praat software for acoustic analysis in clinical voice assessments. It explains key features of Praat that can be utilized for diagnosing and evaluating voice disorders through detailed phonetic measurements and also some drawbacks of using Praat.^[3]

In this study, Praat was introduced to Thai ESL speakers as a space for self-paced understanding in the realm of pronunciation. Despite the small sample size, this article does note important benefits and drawbacks of Praat. For example, the students thought that the software was relatively easy to use, although not necessarily intuitive for those who are not familiar with linguistic concepts.^[4]

Although I cannot read this document, it could be useful to cite Praat tutorials in other languages, such as this one, which is written in Korean. It also appears to be published in a Korean, peer-reviewed journal.^[5]

Aoki, Riku, Kohichi Ogata, and Akihiro Taruguchi. "Feasibility study on synthesis of English vowels with a vocal tract mapping interface." Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics. Vol. 29. No. 1. AIP Publishing, 2016.

This source can be used to help support one of the currently unsupported statements in the Praat article page on Wikipedia. This is an example of a study using the speech synthesis capabilities of Praat, which I plan to use as a citation for the statement in the Wikipedia article about Praat having this ability. ^[6]

Content Gaps:

The article currently lacks coverage on:

- Praat’s use in linguistic research on endangered or minority languages.

- The support Praat provides for diverse languages and accents.

- Criticisms or limitations of the software.

Areas of Improvement & Proposed Additions:

1. Use of Praat in Documenting Endangered and Minority Languages

- Source: Van Way, John (2018-05). *"The Phonetics and Phonology of Nyagrong Minyag, an Endangered Language of Western China".

- Addition: This source will be used to introduce a new section on how Praat has been instrumental in documenting endangered languages, such as Nyagrong Minyag. I will highlight the phonetic analysis conducted on endangered languages using Praat and how the software aids in preservation efforts.

- Content Gap Addressed: This addition will cover underrepresented populations and topics, aligning with Wikipedia’s equity goals. It will show the relevance of Praat to linguistic diversity and preservation, which is currently missing from the article.

2. Acoustic Analysis of Regional Variability and Accents

- Source: Acoustic Analysis of the Speakers’ Variability for Regional Accent-Affected Pronunciation in Bangladeshi Bangla: A Study on Sylheti Accent.

- Addition: This source will contribute to a section on Praat’s application in analyzing regional accents and language variation. I will discuss the role Praat plays in studying accents, using the example of the Sylheti accent in Bangladeshi Bangla to demonstrate how the software handles regional phonetic differences.

- Content Gap Addressed: The article currently lacks details on how Praat supports the study of accents and phonetic variations, particularly for minority dialects. This addition will provide examples of how Praat is used in the study of accent diversity.

3. Praat’s Role in Clinical Voice Assessment

- Source: Practical Acoustics in Clinical Voice Assessment: A Praat Primer.

- Addition: This source will support an update in the Applications section of the article by adding details on how Praat is used in clinical voice assessment. I will explain how the software is used by speech pathologists to diagnose voice disorders through acoustic analysis, providing real-world examples.

- Content Gap Addressed: This improves the section on applications by providing concrete examples of how Praat is used in clinical settings, an important area that is currently underdeveloped.

4. Criticisms and Limitations of Praat

- Source: Various user reviews and discussions from speech analysis forums and academic articles highlighting limitations (search to be conducted).

- Addition: A new section will address common criticisms and limitations of Praat. This includes its steep learning curve, challenges with automation for large datasets, and limitations in handling non-standard or complex phonetic systems.

- Content Gap Addressed: Adding this section will balance the article, as it currently lacks any mention of limitations. This will enhance neutrality by presenting both the strengths and weaknesses of the software.

Lily:

This page also lacks any images of what the Praat software can do or the graphs it displays. By finding articles that add to this, we can provide an overview of the software's capabilities to balance out the criticisms that will also be included. This will help to keep the tone of the article neutral.
