An Acoustic Analysis of Siwu Vowels
Nordic Journal of African Studies, 2013 This paper presents a systematic description of the 11 vowel phonemes (seven oral and four nasal vowels) of Siwu, the language of the people of Akpafu and Lolobi through a spectrographic analysis. The paper determines on scientific basis, the underlying

Structured idiosyncrasies in vowel systems
, 2019 We display data on structured idiosyncrasies in vowel systems in five languages. Structures in idiosyncrasies are characterized here by patterns of correlated covariations between F1 values for two vowels in a system, for a set of speakers of the corresponding language. Correlations might reflect both local constraints between close vowels in front and

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract The current study examined how children apply their phonological knowledge to recognize translation equivalents in a foreign language. Target words for recognition were either phonologically similar (cognate) or dissimilar (noncognate) to words they already knew in their first language.

Neural Dynamics of Phonetic Trading Relations for Variable-Rate CV Syllables [PDF]
, 1994 The perception of CV syllables exhibits a trading relationship between voice onset time (VOT) of a consonant and duration of a vowel. Percepts of [ba] and [wa] can, for example, depend on the durations of the consonant and vowel segments, with an ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech. We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

Vowel System Sandbox: Complex System Modelling of Language Change
Journal of Open Research Software, 2019 Vowel System Sandbox is a complex agent-based modelling tool which is intended for linguists and speech researchers to test hypotheses about how vowel sounds are transmitted and used through the generations in a language community, and thus how vowel ...
