Assamese vowels and vowel harmony
Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics, 2019AbstractBased 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 ...

Does Vowel Inventory Density Affect Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation?
Language and Speech, 2012This 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, 1990In 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.

On vowel harmony and vowel reduction
2014This 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 ...

Perception of Vowel-to-Vowel Transitions with Different Formant Trajectories
Phonetica, 2001Abstract 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 ...

Telephonic Vowel Recognition in the Case of English Vowels
2012Vowel recognition is the focus of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker identification systems because of spectrally well defined characteristics of vowels. The ability to recognize speech improves significantly by efficient vowel recognition, both by humans as well as by ASR systems [1].

Vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in Catalan VCV sequences
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1984Electropalatographic and acoustical data on vowel-to-vowel (V-to-V) coarticulatory effects were obtained for Catalan VCV sequences, with the consonants representing different degrees of tongue-dorsum contact (dorsopalatal approximant [j], alveolo-palatal nasal [ν], alveolo-palatal lateral [Y], and alveolar nasal [n]).

Vowel-specific effects in concurrent vowel identification
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999An experiment investigated the effects of amplitude ratio (−35 to 35 dB in 10-dB steps) and fundamental frequency difference (0%, 3%, 6%, and 12%) on the identification of pairs of concurrent synthetic vowels. Vowels as weak as −25 dB relative to their competitor were easier to identify in the presence of a fundamental frequency difference (ΔF0 ...
