Compensatory articulation in American English nasalized vowels
In acoustic studies of vowel nasalization, it is sometimes assumed that the primary articulatory difference between an oral vowel and a nasal vowel is the coupling of the nasal cavity to the rest of the vocal tract. Acoustic modulations observed in nasal vowels are customarily attributed to the presence of additional poles affiliated with the naso-pharyngeal tract and zeros affiliated with the ...
متن کاملRosa’s roses: Reduced vowels in American English
Beginning phonetics students are taught that American English has two contrasting reduced vowels, transcribed as [ ́] and [È], illustrated by the unstressed vowels in the minimal pair Rosa’s vs. roses. However little seems to be known about the precise nature or distribution of these vowels. This study explores these questions through acoustic analysis of reduced vowels in the speech of twelve A...
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of American English vowels.
The purpose of this study was to replicate and extend the classic study of vowel acoustics by Peterson and Barney (PB) [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 24, 175-184 (1952)]. Recordings were made of 45 men, 48 women, and 46 children producing the vowels /i,I,e, epsilon,ae,a, [symbol: see text],O,U,u, lambda,3 iota/ in h-V-d syllables. Formant contours for F1-F4 were measured from LPC spectra using a custom i...
متن کاملCross-dialectal variation in formant dynamics of American English vowels.
This study aims to characterize the nature of the dynamic spectral change in vowels in three distinct regional varieties of American English spoken in the Western North Carolina, in Central Ohio, and in Southern Wisconsin. The vowels /I, epsilon, e, ae, aI/ were produced by 48 women for a total of 1920 utterances and were contained in words of the structure /bVts/ and /bVdz/ in sentences which ...
متن کاملAcoustic Effects of Prosodic Boundary on Vowels in American English
0. Introduction Prosody in speech is expressed through the modulation of pitch, duration, loudness and spectral balance. These features encode (i) phonological phrase structures that serve to group words into sense units, and (ii) prominence structures that mark the location of perceptually prominent syllables and words within larger domains. The prosodic phonological structures that encode phr...
