The Vowel Space as Sociolinguistic Sign

Journal of Sociolinguistics, 2023
AbstractThis paper examines variation in vowel space area and its use in social meaning making. Among adolescents at a California high school, patterns of difference in vowel space correlate to social practices of exclusion in the partying scene, albeit alongside explicit discourses of high school social life as inclusive and fluid. I treat vowel space

Stability, Reliability, and Sensitivity of Acoustic Measures of Vowel Space: A Comparison of Vowel Space Area, Formant Centralization Ratio, and Vowel Articulation Index

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020
Vowel space (VS) measurements can provide objective information on formant distribution and act as a proxy for vowel production. There are a number of proposed ways to quantify vowel production clinically, including vowel space area, formant centralization ratio, and vowel articulation index (VAI).

The Acoustic Vowel Space of Modern Greek and German

Language and Speech, 1989
The spectral characteristics of vowels in Modern Greek and German were examined. Four speakers of Modern Greek and three speakers of German produced four repetitions of words containing each vowel of their native language. Measurements of the fundamental frequency and the first three formants were made for each vowel token. These measurements were then

Vowel identification and vowel space characteristics

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007
Acoustic characteristics of ten vowels produced by 45 men and 48 women from the Hillenbrand et al. (1995) study were correlated with identification accuracy. Global (mean f0, F1 and F2, duration, and amount of formant movement) and distinctive measures (vowel space area, mean distance among vowels, f0, F1 and F2 ranges, duration ratio between long and ...

From EMG to Formant Patterns of Vowels: The Implication of Vowel Spaces

Phonetica, 1994
Abstract With a few exceptions, EMG data are interpreted with reference to the intended output, such as the phonetic description of utterances spoken by speakers. For a more rigorous interpretation, the data should also be analysed in terms of the displacement of the articulators and the acoustic patterns.

Relationship between articulatory acoustic vowel space and articulatory kinematic vowel space

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012
The current study examines the relationship between articulatory acoustic vowel space and kinematic vowel space with an emphasis on the range of tongue movement by utilizing electromagnetic articulography. Subject population is 20 healthy female speakers. Electromagnetic articulography (AG-200) and a synchronized separate digital audio recording system

Vowel spacing in four-vowel systems

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003
Languages with fewer than average vowel quality contrasts provide a testbed for proposed universals of vowel systems. This paper examines the positioning in two- and three-formant acoustic spaces of the vowels of several languages with four contrastive vowel qualities.

Relating the acoustic vowel space to perceptual vowel space in cochlear implant simulation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
Because of limited spectral resolution, the acoustic differences between important speech features may not be preserved by cochlear implants (CIs). The present study compared the acoustic vowel space of spectrally degraded speech with the perceptual vowel space of normal-hearing (NH) subjects to CI simulations in which the spectral resolution ...

Characteristics of the Lax Vowel Space in Dysarthria

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
It has been hypothesized that lax vowels may be relatively unaffected by dysarthria, owing to the reduced vocal tract shapes required for these phonetic events (G. S. Turner, K. Tjaden, & G. Weismer, 1995). It also has been suggested that lax vowels may be especially susceptible to speech mode effects (M. A. Picheny, N. I.
