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.

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.

On Vowel Height and Consonantal Voicing Effects: Data from Italian
Phonetica, 2002AbstractThis paper reports an acoustic study of CV sequences in Italian (where C is /b, d, g, p, t, k/ and V is one of the seven Italian vowels in stressed position). It explores the effects of vowel height, consonantal voicing, and place of articulation on a number of acoustic attributes of vowels (duration, f₀, F<sub>1</sub>), and on the ...

Asymmetries in the Processing of Vowel Height
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012PurposeSpeech perception can be described as the transformation of continuous acoustic information into discrete memory representations. Therefore, research on neural representations of speech sounds is particularly important for a better understanding of this transformation.

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

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
