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.

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 ...

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).

The relationship between vowel variation and vowel-to-vowel coarticulation across languages
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1987The amount of coarticulatory vowel variation within a language may be dependent on the size and distribution of the vowel inventory within the vowel formant space [P. A. Keating and M. K. Huffman, Phonetica 41, 191–207 (1984)]. Similarly, it has been suggested that the extent of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in a language varies in proportion to the ...

Vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in English and Japanese
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984Vowel-to-vowel coarticulation was investigated by analysis of formant trajectories in VCV utterances. Two sets of English utterances were analyzed, one with initial stress and one with final stress. The VCV utterances consisted of all combinations of the labial consonants /b/, /p/, and /m/ and the vowels /a/ and /i/.
