Covariation among vowel height effects on acoustic measures. [PDF]
J Acoust Soc Am, 2011 Covariation among vowel height effects on vowel intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0), voice onset time (VOT), and voiceless interval duration (VID) is analyzed to assess the plausibility of a common physiological mechanism underlying variation in these ...

Establishing the Three-Way Voicing Contrast in Madurese Stops [PDF]
Humaniora, 2017 Madurese, a Western Malayo-Polynesian language spoken on the Indonesian island of Madura, has been described as having a three-way voicing contrast (i.e. voiced, voiceless unaspirated and voiceless aspirated) in its stops.

Perception of ATR contrasts by Akan speakers: a case of perceptual near-merger
Laboratory Phonology, 2023 Despite many acoustic, articulatory and phonological studies of Advanced Tongue Root (ATR) vowel contrasts and vowel harmony, studies of the perception of ATR contrasts by speakers of languages with ATR vowel distinctions are lacking. This paper explores

The phonology of vocalic height in Kikuria
Studies in African Linguistics, 1998 Vowel height harmony is common in Bantu languages, but the language Kikuria has a particularly rich system of vowel height alternations, which are described in this paper.

ON the high non-expanded vowels of Yoruboid
Studies in African Linguistics, 1985 A current debate going on among Yoruba linguists is the existence and phonological status of the high non-expanded vowels. Indeed while Igala, Isekiri and many Yoruba dialects exhibit a seven-vowel system, other Yoruba dialects exhibit a ·nine-vowel ...

The missing fundamental in vowel height perception [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1996 Traunmüller (1981) suggested that the tonotopic distance between the first formant (F1) and the fundamental frequency (F0) is a major determinant of perceived vowel height. In the present study, subjects identified a vowel-height continuum ranging in formant pattern from /I/to/epsilon/, at five F0 values.

A perceptual pathway for voicing-conditioned vowel duration
Laboratory Phonology, 2020 When codas and vowels are cross-spliced, vowels originally produced with voiced codas are perceived as longer than vowels of the same duration produced with voiceless codas. The spliced coda has the opposite effect: Vowels presented with voiced codas are

Vowel harmony and vowel alternation in Mayak
Studies in African Linguistics, 1999 Like several other Western Nilotic languages, the Mayak variety of Northern Burun has two sets of vowels distinguished by the feature [ATR], the [-ATR] vowels [I, E, a, i, u] and the [+ATR] vowels [i, e, A, 0, u].
