Fricative spectra from four native Portuguese speakers have been parameterized in order to aid comparisons across speaker and across corpus, and to gain insight into the production mechanisms underlying the language-specific variations. The parameters, derived from previous studies, capture source-related changes for the most part as predicted; for the sustained fricative, they also separate fricatives by place.
