Abstract

The purpose of this research work is to measure the Tone value. The recorded speech material consists of the extracted portion \textbf{\`{o}} of a syllable \textbf{k\`{o}}- (from \emph{k\`{o}\d{r}a}: `horse') is used for measuring the momentum of the pitch in tone. A native speaker of Punjabi language from the Doab region (Punjab, India) has been selected for producing the word \emph{k\`{o}\d{r}a}: (the focus of this work is not on the sociolinguistic study of the data of the native
speaker). On the basis of the simple graphical representation a formula has been applied for measuring the tone value of the language. This paper seeks to improve our competence regarding acoustic measurements of acoustic data through graphical representation.
