Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation in Spanish Nonwords

Phonetica, 2019
AbstractThe present study examined vowel-to-vowel (VV) coarticulation in backness affecting mid vowels /e/ and /o/ in 36 Spanish nonwords produced by 20 native speakers of Spanish, aged 19–50 years (mean = 30.7; SD = 8.2). Examination of second formant frequency showed substantial carryover coarticulation throughout the data set, while anticipatory ...

Acoustics of Tatar vowels: Articulation and vowel-to-vowel coarticulation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Volga Tatar is a Turkic language spoken by 5 million people in Central Russia for which instrumental acoustic descriptions are lacking. This study uses formant analysis of acoustic recordings from 27 native speakers of Volga Tatar to describe the vowels of Tatar and evaluate the accuracy of previous impressionistic phonetic descriptions. In addition to

Vowel system or vowel systems?

Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages, 2020
AbstractThe 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 ...

Effects of Vowel Duration and Vowel Quality on Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation

Language and Speech, 2011
This work investigates how vowel duration and vowel quality affect degrees of vowel-to-vowel coarticulation. The effects of these two factors on vowel-to-vowel coarticulation have previously received little study. Phonological durational differences due to vowel length distinction were examined in Thai.

Does Vowel Inventory Density Affect Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation?

Language and Speech, 2012
This study tests the output constraints hypothesis that languages with a crowded phonemic vowel space would allow less vowel-to-vowel coarticulation than languages with a sparser vowel space to avoid perceptual confusion. Mandarin has fewer vowel phonemes than Cantonese, but their allophonic vowel spaces are similarly crowded.

VOWEL DISTRIBUTION AS A CLUE TO VOWEL IDENTIFICATION

Cryptologia, 1990
In any sample of English about 40% of the letters will be vowels. This article tries to identify which letters of a simple substitution cipher are vowels by looking for those letters which, as a group, are most equally distributed through the text.

Assamese vowels and vowel harmony

Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics, 2019
AbstractBased on impressionistic and acoustic data, Assamese is described as having a phonological tongue root harmony system, with blocking by certain phonological configurations and over-application in certain morphological contexts. This study explores physical properties of the patterns using ultrasonic imaging to determine whether the ...

Perception of Vowel-to-Vowel Transitions with Different Formant Trajectories

Phonetica, 2001
Abstract In this paper, the perceptual effects of vowel-to-vowel transitions determined by different temporal variations of model parameters which specify the shapes of the vocal tract area function are investigated. It is shown that, (a) the method of deformation of the vocal tract area function between two targets can be perceptually ...

On vowel harmony and vowel reduction

2014
This paper examines vowel reduction and vowel harmony in disyllabic nouns of Yukuben, Mòoré and German. Morphologically, all nouns under consideration have a stem and a number + gender marker. The order of these two morphemes, namely stem-final in Yukuben but stem-initial in Mòoré and German, seems to have little effect on the phonological processes ...
