Vowel coarticulation: Landmark statistics measure vowel aggression

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
Regression analysis and mutual information have been used to measure the degree of dependence between a consonant and a vowel, and this has been used to identify the invariance of consonant place and to quantify the coarticulatory resistance of consonants [e.g., Fowler (1994). Percept. Psychophys. 55, 597–610]. This paper presents the first application

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 ...

Vowel-specific effects in concurrent vowel identification

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999
An 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 ...
