What's the difference between consonance and harmonic?

Consonance


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Consonancy

Example Sentences:

  • (15) The major findings were as follows: (1) no significant difference was found in consonant identification scores between aperiodic, aperiodic + vocalic transition, and vocalic transition segments in CV syllables compared to those in VC syllables; (2) consonant identifications from vocalic transition + vowel segments in VC syllables were significantly greater than those from vocalic transition + vowel segments in CV syllables; (3) no significant difference was found in vowel identification scores between aperiodic + vocalic transition, vocalic transition + vowel, and vocalic transition segments in CV syllables compared to those in VC syllables; and (4) vowel identifications from aperiodic segments were significantly greater in CV syllables than in VC syllables.
  • (16) Minimal pairs differing only in the voicing feature of the initial consonant were produced by four SLI and four language-matched NL children.
  • (17) Variation of the reaction rate with substrate concentration suggests a diffusion-limited process, consonant with the fact that enzyme and substrate are associated with particles of enormous sizes (the fat cell and the lipid droplet, respectively).
  • (18) The implant provided information about the amplitude envelope of the speech and the estimated frequency of the main spectral peak between 800 and 4000 Hz, which was useful for consonant recognition.
  • (19) Generalization data indicated that the child learned 16 word-initial consonants following treatment of only three sets of maximal opposition contrasts.
  • (20) Acoustic information about the place of articulation of a prevocalic nasal consonant is distributed over two distinct signal portions, the nasal murmur and the onset of the following vowel.

Harmonic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Harmonical
  • (n.) A musical note produced by a number of vibrations which is a multiple of the number producing some other; an overtone. See Harmonics.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Complex tones containing the first 20 harmonics of 50, 100, or 200 Hz, all at equal amplitude, were used.
  • (2) Left ventricular asynchrony was quantified by the phase difference of the first Fourier harmonic between postero-basal and antero-apical wall motion.
  • (3) In the case of the pressure time-derivative the significant harmonic content is shifted toward higher frequencies.
  • (4) The discrimination of the fundamental frequency (fo) of pairs of complex tones with no common harmonics is worse than the discrimination of fo for tones with all harmonics in common.
  • (5) The distribution half-life was 6.6 min and the elimination half-life was 39.0 min (harmonic means).
  • (6) When the coupling evolution was followed in the same subject, it did not appear for all locomotor frequencies but only for locomotor periods close to harmonics of respiratory ones (absolute coordination).
  • (7) However, tone phonemes are also comprised of higher harmonics that also may cue tone phonemes.
  • (8) The teeth developing in teratoma are not comparable to the normal process which is harmonized when the formation and the distribution of the various parts are concerned.
  • (9) However, in both LSO and MSO there is an expanded representation of the frequencies around 60 kHz, the main frequency component of the bat's echolocation call; there is another expanded representation of the range around 90 kHz, the third harmonic of the call.
  • (10) The reproducibility and precision of results could be further improved by harmonizing the future distributions of reagents.
  • (11) The three-dimensional spatial distribution of filaments was studied with the aid of small-angle second-harmonic scattering, and the filaments were found to permeate the tendon cross-section in an apparently random fashion.
