Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022 Velum position was analysed as a function of vowel height in German tense and lax vowels preceding a nasal or oral consonant. Findings from previous research suggest an interdependence between vowel height and the degree of velum lowering, with a higher ...

Vowel perturbation as a function of tongue height
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975Ten normal adult male speakers were asked to sustain the vowels ‖i‖, ‖u‖, ‖λ‖, ‖ae‖, and ‖a‖. A perturbation factor was then calculated for each vowel. The results indicated that no relation existed between vocal fold aperiodicity and tongue height associated with vowel production. Subject Classification: 70.20, 70.40.

Articulation of vowel height in Taiwanese Vowels: An EMA study
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015Whalen et al.’s (2010) ultrasound study has suggested that constriction degree “may be the best descriptor for height” in American English front vowels {i, ɪ, e, ɛ}. The present study took a further step, investigating the case of height and backness distinction in Taiwanese front and back vowels.

Perception of height differences in vowels
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1983Vowels contrasting in the phonetic feature of height or openness are differentiated primarily by changes in the frequency of the first formant. Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for the perception of these differences. Mushnikov and Chistovich [Sov. Phys. Acoust. 19, 250–254 (1973)] argue that the frequency of the most prominent harmonic

Vowel height and the perception of consonantal nasality
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1981By means of an articulatory synthesizer, the preception of the oral–nasal distinction in consonants was explored experimentally. This distinction was chosen because it is achieved by a very simple articulatory maneuver and because it is phonologically relevant in virtually every language.

Phonological Specificity of Vowel Contrasts at 18-months
Language and Speech, 2008 Previous research has shown that English infants are sensitive to mispronunciations of vowels in familiar words by as early as 15-months of age. These results suggest that not only are infants sensitive to large mispronunciations of the vowels in words ...

Coarticulatory influences on the perceived height of nasal vowels
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1988Certain of the complex spectral effects of vowel nasalization bear a resemblance to the effects of modifying the tongue or jaw position with which the vowel is produced. Perceptual evidence suggests that listener misperceptions of nasal vowel height arise as a result of this resemblance.

Vowel fundamental frequency and tongue height
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1977This research was designed to substantiate the results of Ohala [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 60, S44(A) (1976)] which supported the “tongue-pull” hypothesis of intrinsic vowel pitch. Our goal was explanation of the observation that vowels with high tongue position have higher F0 than do vowels with low tongue position. It has been suggested that the anatomical
