Duration Affects Vowel Perception in Estonian and Finnish; pp. 161-177 [PDF]
Linguistica Uralica, 2009 Identification of vowels in quantity languages is usually considered to be independent of vowel duration since duration is used to realise the quantity oppositions and thus supposed to not be available as a cue for other Âfeatures.

Discrete motor coordinates for vowel production. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Current models of human vocal production that capture peripheral dynamics in speech require large dimensional measurements of the neural activity, which are mapped into equally complex motor gestures.

A perceptual sound space for auditory displays based on sung-vowel synthesis
Scientific Reports, 2022 When designing displays for the human senses, perceptual spaces are of great importance to give intuitive access to physical attributes. Similar to how perceptual spaces based on hue, saturation, and lightness were constructed for visual color, research ...

Generalization in the vowel space [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995 Vowels may be represented by a three-dimensional volume of space. The axes of the volume may be defined in articulatory terms (front–back, high–low, rounded–unrounded) or in physical terms (F1, F2, F3). Shepard [Science 237, 1317–1323 (1987)] plotted data of Peterson and Barney [ 175–184 (1952)] to show that generalization in the vowel space is an ...

Vowel production of Mandarin-speaking hearing aid users with different types of hearing loss.
PLoS ONE, 2017 In contrast with previous research focusing on cochlear implants, this study examined the speech performance of hearing aid users with conductive (n = 11), mixed (n = 10), and sensorineural hearing loss (n = 7) and compared it with the speech of hearing ...

The effect of cochlear implantation on the acoustic features of Farsi vowels by hearing-impaired children [PDF]
زبان پژوهی, 2020 Cochlear implantation (CI) is a preferred treatment for severe-to-profound sensory neural hearing loss and has caused significant improvement in the language ability of cochlear implantees compared to the hearing aided patients.

Perceptual evidence for the phonological adaptation of English vowels in Persian sound system [PDF]
زبان پژوهی, 2020 Loanword adaptations are transformations applied to words when they are borrowed into a foreign language. Words from a source language that are ill-formed in the borrowing language are thus transformed into well-formed words (Hyman, 1970; Yip, 1993 ...

Uncovering the acoustic vowel space of a previously undescribed language: The vowels of Nambo [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016 This study presents the first acoustic description of the vowel space of a Papuan language—Nambo, spoken in southern Papua New Guinea—based on duration and first and second formant measurements from 19 adult male and female speakers across three age groups (young, middle-aged, senior).
