Abstract

This study investigates the acoustic differences among British, American, and Australian English accents using Praat software. A descriptive quantitative method was employed, and the data were obtained from a publicly available online source providing spoken English samples of the three accents. Two English sentences were selected and analyzed to measure acoustic features, including duration, fundamental frequency, and intensity. The analysis was conducted by segmenting each sentence in Praat and recording the acoustic measurements. The results show that British English consistently has a longer duration and higher average intensity compared to American and Australian English, indicating clearer and more emphasized speech production. In contrast, Australian English exhibits the highest average fundamental frequency across all analyzed sentences, reflecting a higher pitch level. American English demonstrates moderate values in duration, frequency, and intensity. These findings confirm that British, American, and Australian English accents display distinct acoustic characteristics even when producing the same sentences, highlighting the usefulness of acoustic analysis in identifying accent differences.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the acoustic phonetic characteristics in terms of duration, frequency, and intensity of speech produced by adolescent native speakers of the Tanjungbalai Asahan Malay Dialect (BMDTA) based on gender differences. This research employed a quantitative experimental method with an instrumental approach. The research data consisted of recorded declarative utterances of the sentence ‘kucingtu talenggek kaReto’ (the cat was hit by a motorcycle) produced by three informants, namely two female adolescents and one male adolescent aged 17-18 years who are native speakers of BMDTA. Data were collected through recording techniques and analyzed using Praat software to obtain duration, frequency, and intensity values. Data validity was tested through triangulation techniques and repeated measurements. The results showed that female speakers tended to produce longer utterance durations than male speakers. Speaker RP II produced the longest duration of 2.897 seconds, while speaker RL produced the shortest duration of 2.031 seconds. In terms of frequency, female speakers demonstrated higher maximum frequency values, with the highest frequency found in RP I at 326.5 Hz, while the lowest maximum frequency was found in RL at 174.9 Hz. Regarding intensity, RP II showed the highest maximum intensity at 80.5 dB; however, the findings indicated that intensity is not entirely determined by gender. These acoustic characteristic differences are influenced by physiological, social, and speech habit factors of the speakers.
