The Vowel System

Abstract A surface phonetic classification of the Hungarian vowel system is shown in (1):1 This classification involves five heights, three points of articulation along the sagittal axis, plus the rounded/unrounded distinction.

A self-supervised vowel recognition system

Pattern Recognition, 1980
Abstract The paper describes an adaptive model for computer recognition of vowel sounds with the first three formants as features. The method uses a single pattern training procedure for self-supervised learning and maximum value of fuzzy membership function is the basis of recognition.

The Origins of Vowel Systems

2001
Abstract This book addresses the question of how the properties of human vowel systems can be explained. Though it is found that vowel systems of human languages are optimal for communicative purposes, it is not clear who is doing the optimization.

The Vowel System of Korean

Language, 1968
The following alternative analyses of the Korean vowel system are compared: (1) By the view of traditional phonemics, we recognize nine vowels /i e ø ε ə a u o/, plus autonomous /w y/. (2) By distinctive feature analysis, regarding w and

Central vowels in Central Arrernte: A spectrographic study of a small vowel system

Journal of Phonetics, 2011
Abstract In this study we examine the formant and duration patterns of the two central vowels, /ə/ and /ɐ/, in the Australian language Central Arrernte. The contrast between these two central vowels is minimal: there is no contrast in initial position, nor in final position. In medial position, /ə/ is higher in the vowel space and shorter in duration.

Palatalizations and the Vowel System

2007
Abstract The chapter presents the phonology of palatals and palatalized consonants. The discussion is placed against the background of the earlier descriptions within the structuralist and the generative traditions which viewed the palatalization complex in largely divergent ways. What is common to all traditions is the mutual dependence

The analysis of vowel systems

Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 1973
Abstract The method of analysing vowel systems that will be presented in this article has been developed in connection with studies of Chinese historical phonology and related investigations of other East Asian languages. In part it derives from an interpretation of traditional Chinese “rhyme table” phonology and is a way of translating this into ...

Regional variation in vowels and vowel systems: normalization and optimization

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
We made an acoustical description of regional variation patterns in the vowel system of Dutch spoken in the Netherlands and Flanders. The speech material consisted of read monosyllabic utterances in a neutral consonantal context, representing the vowels of Dutch.

Diversity of vowel systems

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005
Systems of vowels vary greatly across the world’s languages while nonetheless conforming to certain general structural patterns. All languages have at least two qualitative distinctions between vowels based on the major parameters of height, backness and rounding, but probably none has more than 15 or so, and the modal number is 5.
