Le nuer est une langue nilotique occidentale parlee dans la region frontaliere de la Republique Federale du Soudan et de l'Ethiopie. L'A. fournit une description du systeme vocalique complexe de cette langue, plus precisement du dialecte gaajak, qui possede seize phonemes vocaliques. Ces phonemes se divisent en deux ensembles, en fonction de la qualite

Emergent optimal vowel systems
2008An interesting aspect of vowel systems is that they seem to balance between articulatory ease and auditory contrast. This tension is often proposed as the cause of the remarkable overlap between the organization of vowels in various languages. This thesis aims to integrate self-organizational, agent-based models of vowel dispersion with an existing ...

Vowel transcription systems: An Australian perspective
International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2008Transcription is an essential clinical tool for speech-language pathologists as it provides a permanent written record of communicative behaviour and forms an important source of data for analysis, interpretation, decision making, and dissemination. One of the responsibilities in speech-language pathology is to faithfully capture the speech production ...

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 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.

Regional variation in vowels and vowel systems: normalization and optimization
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008We 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.

The present essay focuses on the English vowel system, outlining its main features and dealing with the most relevant examples of how vowel sounds may be spelt. Any language is a system and, as such, it may be studied from different points of view without never forgetting that the different aspects are parts of a unicum.

Palatalizations and the Vowel System
2007Abstract 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
