This study tests whether Farsi vowels are contrastive with respective to length. Farsi has a six-vowel system with three lax vowels and three tense vowels. Both traditional grammarians and modern linguists believe that Farsi tense vowels are longer than lax vowels, and that there are no vowel pairs that contrast only in length.

Chapter 7 introduces the concept of vowel length in Latin grammatical thought, and ways in which the grammatical tradition responded to a changing linguistic reality. By the late antique period, the classical Latin contrast between long vowels and short vowels has been largely or entirely lost. Yet grammarians continue to consider vowels long or short,

Vowel length in western nilotic languages
Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 1990Abstract The Western Nilotic languages exhibit considerable variation as to their number of vowel phonemes, this number ranging from 15 in Dholuo to at least 59 in Dinka, while Pari has 24 vowel phonemes. Most of the variation is due to differences with respect to vowel length.

One peculiarity of Yupik Eskimo is the “fake” vowel length which is triggered by a schwa ə in a conditioned environment. The degree of the fake vowel length has never been seriously questioned nor recognized by Eskimologists as being distinct, phonetically or phonemically, from the intrinsically long or short vowel.

Modern Farsi historically possessed an underlying opposition of vowel length that has since largely disappeared in all but open, non-final syllables. At the same time, qualitative differences have arisen between the once identical short and long vowels. Two opposing analyses have been proposed to account for these facts.

Vowel length and stress in Thai
Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 1998Abstract It has been hypothesized that the relative importance of phonetic correlates of stress varies depending on the phonological structure of a language. If phonetic resources are used up in lexical phonology, it is predicted that they are unavailable or minimally available for signaling stress. Duration, one of the principal phonetic correlates of

Auskunft: Orthography and Vowel Length
Die Unterrichtspraxis / Teaching German, 1970The "rule" referred to in the inquiry suggests that a (stressed) vowel is long when followed by a single consonant, short if followed by two or more consonants. "Long" here is now more commonly defined as tense, with full length under primary stress, half length under secondary stress as opposed to "short" which means lax in quality and short in ...

Vowel Length From Latin to Romance
2015This book investigates the changes that affected vowel length during the development of Latin into the Romance languages and dialects. In Latin, vowel length was contrastive (e.g. pila 'ball' vs. pi:la 'pile', like English bit vs. beat), but no modern Romance language has retained that same contrast. However, many non-standard Romance dialects (as well

Vowel length in Shangaci: when lexical vowel length and penultimate lengthening co-occur
Africana Linguistica, 2013Cet article décrit les origines et les réalisations des longueurs vocaliques en shangaci, une langue bantu du Mozambique. Contrairement à de nombreuses autres langues bantu, le shangaci atteste à la fois un contraste de longueur vocalique et un allongement vocalique automatique en fin de groupe prosodique.

Perception of vowel length in Arabic
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995This study investigates the acoustic correlates of distinctive vowel length in Arabic, and examines the extent to which these cues might figure in the phonological distinction of vowel length in Arabic. The perceptual experiment determines the accuracy with which vowel duration contrast in spoken Arabic can be auditorily represented.
