Reverse speech is a pseudoscientific topic [1] [2] [3] first advocated by David John Oates which gained publicity when it was mentioned on Art Bell's nightly Coast to Coast AM radio talk show. [4] It is based upon the theory that during spoken language production , human speakers subconsciously produce hidden messages that give insights into ...
The trait of backward speech is described as an ability to spontaneously and accurately reverse words. Two strategies of word reversal were reported: reversal according to the phonetic structure of the words or reversal according to their spelling. [1]
This is because pronunciation in speech causes a reversed diphthong to sound different in either direction (e.g. eye [aɪ] becoming yah [jɑː]), or differently articulate a consonant depending on where it lies in a word, hence creating an imperfect reversal.
Backmasking is a recording technique in which a message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. [1] It is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal may be unintentional.
The strange cadence of the Man's dialogue was achieved by having Anderson speak into a recorder. This was then played in reverse, and Anderson was directed to repeat the reversed original. This "reverse-speech" was then reversed again in editing to bring it back to the normal direction, a technique called phonetic reversal. This created the ...
In rhetoric, chiasmus (/ k aɪ ˈ æ z m ə s / ky-AZ-məs) or, less commonly, chiasm (Latin term from Greek χίασμα chiásma, "crossing", from the Greek χιάζω, chiázō, "to shape like the letter Χ"), is a "reversal of grammatical structures in successive phrases or clauses – but no repetition of words".
The Reverse Speech article could possibly benefit from disambiguation between Backmasking aka Backwardmasking, the artificial superimposition of a physically reversed (cut the audio tape, half turn, reconnect to make it play backwards) or digitally reversed track dubbed over a second forward track, and "true" (sic) Reverse Speech which according to Oates' hypothesis is spontaneously and ...
A text-to-speech (TTS) system converts normal language text into speech; other systems render symbolic linguistic representations like phonetic transcriptions into speech. [1] The reverse process is speech recognition. Synthesized speech can be created by concatenating pieces of recorded speech that are stored in a database.
