Vowel system or vowel systems?
Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages, 2020AbstractThe Manila variety of Philippine Hybrid Hokkien (PHH-M) orLánnang-uèis a contact language used by the metropolitan Manila Chinese Filipinos; it is primarily comprised of Hokkien, Tagalog/Filipino, and English elements. Approaching PHH-M as a mixed language, we investigate linguistically and socially conditioned variation in the monophthongs of ...

Analysis on the Mandarin Vowel System and the English Vowel System
Communications in Humanities Research, 2023A large number of second-language learners, no matter Chinese learners of English or English learners of Mandarin, find it hard to pronounce different sounds from different language systems. This is a vital issue to be solved in language speaking and especially in language teaching.

This study applies information geometry of normal distribution to model Japanese vowels on the basis of the first and second formants. The distribution of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and its decomposed components were investigated to reveal the statistical invariance in the vowel system.

Vowel spacing in four-vowel systems
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003Languages 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.

Self-organization in vowel systems
Journal of Phonetics, 2000This paper presents a computer simulation of the emergence of vowel systems in a population of agents. The agents (small computer programs that operate autonomously) are equipped with a realistic articulatory synthesizer, a model of human perception and the ability to imitate and learn sounds they hear.

English vowel training with different first-language vowel systems
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007This study examined whether native speakers of Spanish and German learn differently when given auditory training for English vowels. Spanish has fewer vowels (5) than does German (18). Spanish speakers thus need to acquire more vowel categories when learning English than do Germans, but the relative sparseness of the Spanish vowel space may actually ...
