Bora's high vowels involve a two-way dental contrast, not a three-way backness contrast
Laboratory Phonology, 2023 The Bora language of Peru has six phonemic vowels, conventionally transcribed as /i ε a o ɨ ɯ/. This inventory is noteworthy since it appears to exhibit a three-way backness distinction among three high unrounded vowels.

Asymmetric Influence of Vocalic Context on Mandarin Sibilants: Evidence From ERP Studies
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 In the present study, we examine the interactive effect of vowels on Mandarin fricative sibilants using a passive oddball paradigm to determine whether the HEIGHT features of vowels can spread on the surface and influence preceding consonants with ...

Visualising Model Training via Vowel Space for Text-To-Speech Systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 With the recent developments in speech synthesis via machine learning, this study explores incorporating linguistics knowledge to visualise and evaluate synthetic speech model training. If changes to the first and second formant (in turn, the vowel space) can be seen and heard in synthetic speech, this knowledge can inform speech synthesis technology ...
