Abstract

This work analyzes the behavior of a list of 1200 Spanish logatoms with a CVC (Consonant + Vowel + Consonant) structure in order to elaborate several lists of logatoms that allow for the measurement of articulation percentage, as characteristic of the acoustic quality of a room for the spoken word, and whose results are comparable with the measurements of STI. As a result, a corpus of 850 logatoms is obtained, with which 17 test lists of 50 logatoms were made.
