Perceptual and Physical Space of Vowel Sounds [PDF]
Experiments were carried out to investigate the correlation between the perceptual and physical space of 11 vowel sounds. The signals were single periods out of the constant vowel part of normally spoken words of the type h (vowel) t, generated continuously by computer. Pitch, loudness, onset, and duration were equalized.

Vowel Spectra, Vowel Spaces, and Vowel Identification [PDF]
Twelve Dutch vowels, each pronounced by 50 male speakers, were analyzed in 18 filter bands comparable in bandwidth with the ear's critical band. By considering the sound levels (in decibels) in these filter bands as dimensions, with a principal-component analysis the 18 dimensions per sound were reduced to four factors which together explain 75% of the
