Vowel epenthesis in productions of English consonant clusters by Japanese
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999Phonotactic contraints on syllable structure vary across languages. Japanese has a more restricted set of consonant clusters (e.g., ‘‘honda’’) than English (e.g., ‘‘instruct’’). This presents a problem for Japanese learners of English, who often avoid consonant clusters by inserting epenthetic vowels between consonants.

Significance of vowel epenthesis in Telugu text-to-speech synthesis
2011 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2011Unit selection synthesis inventories have coverage issues, which lead to missing syllable or diphone units. In the conventional back-off strategy of substituting the missing unit with approximate unit(s), the rules for approximate matching are hard to derive.

5. Vowel epenthesis and creole syllable structure
2008This paper investigates the development of syllable structure in creoles. Most importantly, an analysis of vowel epenthesis in Sranan, both synchronic and diachronic, will be provided, and it will be shown that the present vowel harmony system evolved gradually from a default vowel system. The results are formalized in an optimality-theoretic analysis,

Chapter 14. Clitics and vowel epenthesis
2018Syncope and epenthesis have been treated as two closely related phenomena in traditional accounts: what syncope destroys, epenthesis restores. In this paper we present some cases of vowel epenthesis in the verbal domain in some Northern Emilian varieties where both syncope and epenthesis are rather restricted.

Vowel epenthesis in European languages: exploring variation and patterns
The presentation will explore how vowel epenthesis is materialised in different European languages. We will provide a concise overview of the phonological phenomenon called vowel epenthesis (or anaptyxis), and witness how it evolves in different languages, including French, Spanish, English, and Scots.Simon, Lenormand, Pukli, Monika
