Dissimilarity data were obtained from subjects' paired comparison judgments of 15 English vowels [i e ε ...

The relative importance of spectral tilt in monophthongs and diphthongs
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005Ito et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 110, 1141–1149 (2001)] demonstrated that listeners can reliably identify vowel stimuli on the basis of relative formant amplitude in the absence of, or in spite of, F2 peak frequency. In the present study, formant frequencies and global spectral tilt are manipulated independently in synthetic steady-state vowels ...

Lingua, 1989In this article, I propose a solution to the puzzling problem of Old High German monophthongization, where Germanic ∗ai becomes ē before r, h and w, and ∗au becomes ō before h and dentals. Instead of searching for a phonetic solution as others have done, I present a satisfying abstract solution in terms of the phonological process of contraction and ...

American English monophthong tenseness
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaIn General American English, the point vowels of the F2 – F1 verus F1 quadrilateral, [i], [u], and [ɑ] are tense. More generally, Lindau noted the connection between acoustic peripherality and vowel tenseness [Lindau, M. (1975). “Vowel Features.” Working Papers, Phonetics Laboratory, Lund University, 11, p. 1]. In the case of [ae], it is the tensing of
