Vowel system or vowel systems?

Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages, 2020
AbstractThe Manila variety of Philippine Hybrid Hokkien (PHH-M) orLánnang-uèis a contact language used by the metropolitan Manila Chinese Filipinos; it is primarily comprised of Hokkien, Tagalog/Filipino, and English elements. Approaching PHH-M as a mixed language, we investigate linguistically and socially conditioned variation in the monophthongs of ...

Vowel-consonant-vowel modeling bysuperposition of consonant closure on vowel-to-vowel gestures

Journal of Phonetics, 1995
Abstract The aim of the paper is to describe the behavior of the Distinctive Region Model for the production of V 1 CV 3 utterances. The model, deduced from acoustic theory, is characterized by simplicity and efficiency in its handling of the articulatory-acoustic relation.

Effects of Vowel Duration and Vowel Quality on Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation

Language and Speech, 2011
This work investigates how vowel duration and vowel quality affect degrees of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation. The effects of these two factors on vowel-to-vowel coarticulation have previously received little study. Phonological durational differences due to vowel length distinction were examined in Thai.

Assamese vowels and vowel harmony

Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics, 2019
AbstractBased on impressionistic and acoustic data, Assamese is described as having a phonological tongue root harmony system, with blocking by certain phonological configurations and over-application in certain morphological contexts. This study explores physical properties of the patterns using ultrasonic imaging to determine whether the ...

Does Vowel Inventory Density Affect Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation?

Language and Speech, 2012
This study tests the output constraints hypothesis that languages with a crowded phonemic vowel space would allow less vowel-to-vowel coarticulation than languages with a sparser vowel space to avoid perceptual confusion. Mandarin has fewer vowel phonemes than Cantonese, but their allophonic vowel spaces are similarly crowded.

Vowel coarticulation: Landmark statistics measure vowel aggression

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
Regression analysis and mutual information have been used to measure the degree of dependence between a consonant and a vowel, and this has been used to identify the invariance of consonant place and to quantify the coarticulatory resistance of consonants [e.g., Fowler (1994). Percept. Psychophys. 55, 597–610]. This paper presents the first application

Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation in Spanish Nonwords

Phonetica, 2019
AbstractThe present study examined vowel-to-vowel (VV) coarticulation in backness affecting mid vowels /e/ and /o/ in 36 Spanish nonwords produced by 20 native speakers of Spanish, aged 19–50 years (mean = 30.7; SD = 8.2). Examination of second formant frequency showed substantial carryover coarticulation throughout the data set, while anticipatory ...

Vowel-specific effects in concurrent vowel identification

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999
An experiment investigated the effects of amplitude ratio (−35 to 35 dB in 10-dB steps) and fundamental frequency difference (0%, 3%, 6%, and 12%) on the identification of pairs of concurrent synthetic vowels. Vowels as weak as −25 dB relative to their competitor were easier to identify in the presence of a fundamental frequency difference (ΔF0 ...
