Phonetic variation in Iu-Mien vowels
نویسنده
چکیده
The study presents an acoustic analysis of the phonetic variation in Iu-Mien vowels, not only for modal voice, but also for creaky and pharyngealized vowels. Our findings are contrasted with those of Purnell [1, 2] and Bruhn [3].

Phonetic variation in Slovak yer and non-yer vowels
We examine the phonetic characteristics of yer and non-yer vowels in Slovak in an effort to improve our understanding of the link between phonological differences and their phonetic realizations. We test the wide-spread assumption of phonological analyses that yer vowels are phonetically identical to their non-yer counterparts with measures of vowel duration, vowel quality and the patterns of c...

متن کاملDomain-initial strengthening on French vowels and phonological contrasts: Evidence from lip articulation and spectral variation
Domain-initial strengthening has primarily been studied for consonants. This paper examines whether vowels also undergo boundary-induced phonetic variation and questions how this effect interacts with phonological contrast in a dense vowel system such as that of French. The labial articulation and the acoustic properties of the 10 French oral vowels /i, e, ɛ, a, y, ø, œ, u, o, ɔ/ are examined i...
متن کاملAcoustic Analysis of Persian EFL Learners' Pronunciation of English Vowels
This paper reports the results of an experimental study on non-native production of English vowels. Two groups of Persian EFL learners varying in language proficiency were tested on their ability to produce the nine plain vowels of American English. Vowel production accuracy was assessed by means of acoustic measurements. Ladefoged and Maddison’s (1996) F1 F2 measurements for American English v...
متن کاملPairing audio speech and various visual displays: binding or not binding?
Recent findings demonstrate that audiovisual fusion during speech perception may involve pre-phonetic processing. The aim of the current experiment is to investigate this hypothesis using a pairing task between auditory sequences of vowels and non speech visual cues. The audio sequences are composed of 6 auditory French vowels alternating in pitch (or not) in order to build 2 interleaved stream...
