Asymmetric Influence of Vocalic Context on Mandarin Sibilants: Evidence From ERP Studies
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 In the present study, we examine the interactive effect of vowels on Mandarin fricative sibilants using a passive oddball paradigm to determine whether the HEIGHT features of vowels can spread on the surface and influence preceding consonants with ...

Gradient and categorical assimilation of pretonic vowels in Brazilian Portuguese
Journal of Portuguese Linguistics, 2020 This paper addresses the acoustic realisations of the pretonic vowels /e, o/ that have been previously reported to undergo regressive vowel harmony in Brazilian Portuguese. It examines how the height of pretonic /e, o/ is affected by the phonological and

Vowel duration in stressed and unstressed syllables in spontaneous English
Acta Universitatis Carolinae PhilologicaMany phonetic “truths” are based on descriptions of controlled speech material, and verifying their validity in spontaneous productions is essential. The present study investigates vowel duration as an acoustic correlate of stress in spontaneous English,

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 To estimate the contributions of feedforward vs. feedback control systems in speech articulation, we analyzed the correspondence between initial and final kinematics in unperturbed tongue and jaw movements for consonant-vowel (CV) and vowel-consonant (VC)

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.Remote work, which enables employees to work from home, has emerged as a prominent working style in recent years. However, unlike traditional office environments where the ‘atmosphere of the space’ is naturally shared, remote work relies on screen‐based communication, making it challenging to convey this atmosphere.

The gradient influence of temporal extent of coarticulation on vowel and speaker perception
Laboratory Phonology, 2018 Coarticulation makes vowels in context acoustically different from context-free vowels. Listeners sometimes compensate by ascribing these acoustic effects to their source, but the conditions under which they do so have not yet been fully pinpointed ...

Nasal coda neutralization in Shanghai Mandarin: Articulatory and perceptual evidence
Laboratory Phonology, 2020 Shanghai Mandarin is reported to neutralize /n/ and /ŋ/ after non-low vowels, a change also reported for other varieties of Chinese. However, the place of articulation of the resulting nasal is unclear.

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

The “center of gravity” and perceived vowel height [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984 In oral vowels, perceived height is determined by the “center of gravity” of the spectral prominence in the vicinity of F1 rather than by F1 peak frequency [Chistovich and Lublinskaya, Hear. Res. 1, 185–95 (1979)]. The present study of nasal vowels assessed the generality of the center of gravity effect. Five nasal vowels,/ɪ̄ ē ǣ ā ō/, were synthesized.

Bactrian in Issyk‐Kushan Script: Additional Readings and Decipherments1
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new ...
