Vowel Vibrations and Vowel Production [PDF]
Nature, 1938 PROF. E. W. SCRIPTURE, in a letter published in NATURE of October 1, suggests that the profiles of the various vowel sounds—of which he gives examples—indicate that these sounds “cannot have been produced by resonance”.

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 ...

Cross-modal associations in synaesthesia: vowel colours in the ear of the beholder [PDF]
, 2014 Human speech conveys many forms of information, but for some exceptional individuals (synaesthetes), listening to speech sounds can automatically induce visual percepts such as colours.

The consonant inventory of Proto-Eastern Cushitic
Studies in African Linguistics, 1991 Hans-Jiirgen Sasse established a solid initial reconstruction of the proto-Eastern Cushitic (PEC) consonants. This initial system had about 20 to 23 consonants. Further work by Linda Arvanites indicated the existence of several additional consonants. The

Word Categorization of Vowel Durational Changes in Speech-Modulated Bone-Conducted Ultrasound
Audiology Research, 2021 Ultrasound can deliver speech information when it is amplitude-modulated with speech and presented via bone conduction. This speech-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (SM-BCU) can also transmit prosodic information.

Vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in Swahili [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983 Acoustic data from Swahili (a Bantu language with a five-vowel system) reveal interesting differences in the extent and direction of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation as compared with other languages. Utterances were VpV disyllables, including all combinations of the five vowels with stress on the first vowel, recorded by a native speaker of Swahili.

Speaker-sex discrimination for voiced and whispered vowels at short durations [PDF]
, 2016 Whispered vowels, produced with no vocal fold vibration, lack the periodic temporal fine structure which in voiced vowels underlies the perceptual attribute of pitch (a salient auditory cue to speaker sex).

Individual differences in the discrimination of novel speech sounds: effects of sex, temporal processing, musical and cognitive abilities [PDF]
, 2012 This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120 ...
