French nasal vowels spoken in Ha acoustic stu

From an acoustic point of view, the study of nasal vowels is complex. Numerous acoustic properties of French nasal vowels have been deduced by simulation experiments. Few authors have founded their analysis on the observation of laboratory speech. Alternatively, the analyzed vocalic realizations found herein are taken from a corpus of spontaneous speech. The 20–male speakers, recorded are natives of Haut–Jura where elderly speakers tend to manifest the same trends as Quebec speakers during the production of nasal vowels. A parallel discussion manifests the difficulties of interpreting acoustic consequences of vowels' nasalization.
