Vowel Length Perception in Cantonese
This paper reports the acoustic experiment and perception test on a pair of Cantonese long and short vowels /a/ and /ɐ/ in the diphthong context. The acoustic data show that [aːi] and [ɐi] have similar targets of vowel nucleus and coda, parallel transition glide, and comparable total duration. They are different in their durational structure: [aːi] has a long steady phrase of vowel nucleus whi...
متن کاملDevelopmental change of vowel production in Cantonese children
The paper investigates the developmental change in formant frequencies (F1F2) of the vowels [i u ɛ ɔ a] in Cantonese male and female children of the ages ranging from 4 to 12. Results show that (i) a decrease in formant frequencies and vowel loop area is a function of age and the change is a gradual process; (ii) the developmental change with age is non-uniform across vowel types and formants, ...
متن کاملFrequency Shifts and Vowel Identification
To study the effects of frequency shifts on vowel identification, a high-quality vocoder (STRAIGHT) was used to process a set of vowels in /hVd/ syllables spoken by two adult males, two adult females, and two children. Vowel identification accuracy was reduced when the spectrum envelope was shifted upward by a factor of 2.0, or downward by a factor of 0.6. Upward shifts produced a smaller decli...
متن کاملThe Influence of Regional Vowel Shifts on Front Vowel Perception
The mid-front classes are realized quite variably across the major U.S. dialects, with Southerners showing widespread Southern Vowel Shift related /e/ centralization and Northern Cities Shift affected Northerners showing widespread backing/lowering of /ɛ/. Though still affected by regional shift patterns, compared to a highly differentiated mid-front vowel system, there is more variability with...
متن کاملVowel Shifts and Phonology Phonetics Interface
1. I will be arguing from data on vowel shifts in progress, and from principles of language change, that language specific phonetic implementation rules must be part of speaker knowledge, and thus part of language acquisition. Then, I will sketch an abstract model of what phonetic implementation could be like. Having argued these points, I will address how this approach interacts with phonologi...
