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.

I then undertake a focused linguistic

World Englishes, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 125-143, March 2026.Abstract There is a dearth of research on speech rhythm in Nigerian English, and scholars have differing views on its nature, ranging from being syllable‐timed to tone‐timed. Apart from the fact that the majority of few available studies were conducted more than a decade ago, the exact nature of speech rhythm in Nigerian English remains contentious ...
