The Effect of Consonant Clusters on Vowel Duration in English
This study examines the effect of word-final consonant clusters on vowel duration in English. The duration of the high front lax vowel [,] was measured with respect to 64 different word-final consonant sequences of one, two, and three segments in length. A set of 960 [t,C(C)(C)] words were produced by three speakers and analysed. In accordance with previous studies, it was found that both voici...
متن کاملCatalan vowel duration
The temporal organization of discourse has produced a great deal of works in several languages pointing to different aims: from studies where the identification of cues about the planning of linguistic message is treated to studies in which duration models for text-to-speech systems are proposed. This work is a first step towards the description of Catalan vowel duration. Considering the Catala...
متن کاملVowel spectra, vowel spaces, and vowel identification.
Twelve Dutch vowels, each pronounced by 50 male speakers, were analyzed in 18 filter bands comparable in bandwidth with the cat's critical band. By considering the sound levels (in decibels) in these filter bands as dimensions, with a principal-component analysis the 18 dimensions per sound were reduced to four factors which together explain 75% of the total variance. The configuration of the a...
متن کاملContextual effects on vowel duration, closure duration, and the consonant/vowel ratio in speech production.
Acoustic measurements were conducted to determine the degree to which vowel duration, closure duration, and their ratio distinguish voicing of word-final stop consonants across variations in sentential and phonetic environments. Subjects read CVC test words containing three different vowels and ending in stops of three different places of articulation. The test words were produced either in non...
متن کاملThe role of vowel duration cue in L1: Effects on L2 learners' identification of phonological vowel length in Japanese
This study investigated the effects of learners’ L1 on their identification of Japanese phonological vowel length at three speaking rates. Native listeners of Japanese (NJ) and learners of Japanese with L1 backgrounds in Finnish (NFin), American English (NE), Russian (NR), and French (NFr) participated in the study. The results showed that the proportion of “long” responses increased as a funct...
