Vowel-specific effects in concurrent vowel identification
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999An 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 ...

Mid-vowels and vowel harmony in Civili
South African Journal of African Languages, 2006This article highlights the phenomenon of vowel harmony in Civili. The distinctive features of vowels are determined in order to analyze the vowel harmony system, and later to explain the distinction between respective problematic vowels in the vowel system.

Vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in Catalan VCV sequences [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984 Electropalatographic and acoustical data on vowel-to-vowel (V-to-V) coarticulatory effects were obtained for Catalan VCV sequences, with the consonants representing different degrees of tongue-dorsum contact (dorsopalatal approximant [j], alveolo-palatal nasal [ν], alveolo-palatal lateral [Y], and alveolar nasal [n]).

Vowel identification and vowel space characteristics
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007Acoustic characteristics of ten vowels produced by 45 men and 48 women from the Hillenbrand et al. (1995) study were correlated with identification accuracy. Global (mean f0, F1 and F2, duration, and amount of formant movement) and distinctive measures (vowel space area, mean distance among vowels, f0, F1 and F2 ranges, duration ratio between long and ...

Vowel Length And Vowel Quality In Khasi
Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 1967One of the most striking phonetic characteristics of languages of the Austroasiatic family such as Mon, Khmer, and Vietnamese is the great variety of vowel qualities that appear to be kept apart by native speakers despite the fact that some of them differ from each other so slightly that it is hard for the foreign observer to believe that they can be ...

Formantless vowels and theories of vowel perception
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1986Most theories of vowel perception rely on a stage of formant peak extraction. However, combining the indications from earlier studies with single formant vowels [Chistovich and Lublinskaya, Hear. Res. 1, 185–193 (1979)] and formantless vowels with “flat” spectra [Carpenter and Morton, Lang.

The main points for discussion in this area of the vowel phonology are: (1) to establish the phonetic nature of the high front palatal vowel space itself; (2) to ascertain the extent to which the English Vowel Shift has affected those words showing stressed vowels originating in Middle English [ee]; in particular, to assess whether there has been a ...

The extent of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in English
Journal of Phonetics, 1997Abstract This acoustic study investigated the extent and nature of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in English trisyllabic utterances (/bV1bəbV3b /) where both V1 and V3 were either /a/ or /i/. Primary stress was assigned to either the first or third syllable, and secondary stress was assigned to the other syllable.

The Roles of Vowel Harmony and Stress in Predicting Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation
2019Similar phonetic and phonological processes often exist in predictable synchronic relationships across languages: when a process is phonologized, its phonetic predecessor is suppressed to resolve conflicting demands on the relevant set of acoustic cues (Cohn, 1990; Francis, Ciocca, Wong, & Chan, 2006).
