In this paper we address {COCA} in the context short time sound features, finding phonemes which are the smallest contrastive unit in the sound system of a language. Generalizable components were found deriving from phonemes based on homomorphic filtering features with basic time scale (20 msec). We sparsified the features based on energy as a preprocessing means to eliminate the intrinsic noise. Independent component analysis was compared with latent semantic indexing, and was demonstrated to be a more appropriate model in {COCA}." }
