How to Correct It: Begin teaching phonetic sounds rather than letter names. Incorporate visual and auditory tools like songs, reading books, and hands-on activities that reinforce letter sounds in ...

Building this phonetic alphabet into their AI models should allow Project CETI to dive even deeper into the intricacies of whale speak, helping humans better understand and protect these gentle ...

Scientists using AI have found sperm whales can vary the tempo, rhythm and length of their click sequences, creating a richer communication system than realized.

Sperm whales communicate through a 'complex phonetic alphabet,' study finds . ... using similar mechanisms to those employed by human sound production and representation systems," the authors said ...

Any of the above vowel-sounds may form a single syllable when attached to a preceding single consonant – either h, k, m, n, p, r, t or w – or to either of the digraphs “ng” or “wh”.

On Tuesday, the scientists reported that the whales use a much richer set of sounds than previously known, which they called a “sperm whale phonetic alphabet.” ...

People combine sounds — often corresponding to letters of the alphabet — to produce words that carry meaning, then produce sequences of words to create sentences to convey more complex meanings.

The researchers dubbed their catalog of sound combinations a “phonetic alphabet” for sperm whales, comparing variations in the whales’ click sequences to the production of different phonetic ...
