متن کاملProducing American English vowels during vocal tract growth: a perceptual categorization study of synthesized vowels.
PURPOSE To consider interactions of vocal tract change with growth and perceived output patterns across development, the influence of nonuniform vocal tract growth on the ability to reach acoustic-perceptual targets for English vowels was studied. METHOD Thirty-seven American English speakers participated in a perceptual categorization experiment. For the experiment, an articulatory-to-acoust...
