In particular, during voiced speech production? I am looking for understanding the process of speech production in detail.
Well, a good starting point to look at the process of speech production is the work of Gunnar Fant - in particular, his book "Acoustic Theory of Speech Production".
Another really good book - also providing measures - is Rabiners "Fundamentals of speech recognition".
Maybe this might help as well: "Metrical stress in speech production: A time course study" by Niels Schiller.
Otherwise, for pure measures you can look a descriptions of, for instance, the toolkit PRAAT.
I hope this helps as a first start.
Thanks a lot.. I had gone through the work of Gunnar Fant long ago. I Will look into the other sources too.
What exactly do you mean by stress? Effort of speech production?
Voice characteristics can be measured of course and there are different spectral properties (e.g. spectral tilt) which tell you something about effort. Is that what you mean by stress? If you redefine your question I can probably give you the appropriate refs you need.
Best X.
Yes, I do mean the vocal effort, i.e., the strength with which the glottis closes during each vibration.
As a starting point:
Effect of vocal effort on spectral properties of vowels by Jean-Sylvain Liénard & Maria-Gabriella Di Benedetto, JASA 1999
