Processing German Vowel Quantity: Categorical Perception or Perceptual Magnet Effect?
The German vowel system shows a complex structure based on the interaction between vowel duration and formant structures between short and long cognates. This leads to the question how vowel duration is processed. The perception of vowel duration in German native speakers was tested by an identification test, a goodness rating and an adaptive discrimination test. The test results show a sharp b...
متن کاملIs Hungarian Losing the Vowel Quantity Distinction?
The Hungarian vowel system is traditionally regarded as quantity-based. In such languages, length is primarily realised as a durational difference with little or no distinction in vowel quality. In this paper, we argue that the various types of interrelationship between quantity and quality have an impact on the target configuration of short and long vowels, and that quantity distinction is not...
متن کاملKinematic analysis of vowel production in German
The tense and lax vowels of German were compared, based on an analysis of the duration, amplitude and velocity characteristics of lip and tongue movement. This study examined firstly whether they show different patterns of compression over changes in speech rate, and secondly whether velocity profiles would reveal evidence of different underlying control mechanisms. CVC movements were segmented...
متن کاملAirflow in stop-vowel sequences of German
This study reports on the results of an airflow experiment that measured the duration of airflow and the amount of air from release of a stop to the beginning of a following vowel in stop vowel-sequences of German. The sequences involved coronal, labial and velar voiced and voiceless stops followed by the vocoids /j, i:, , , , a/. The experiment tested the influence of the three factors voic...
متن کاملArticulatory Analysis of the German Vowel System
It is undoubtedly the case that what, purely for the sake of convenience, we will refer to as the tense-lax opposition has been the most debated feature of the German vowel system, both in the phonetic and phonological literature. We will not attempt to cover this debate here, but for reviews from various points of view see for example, Mooshammer (1998), Becker (1998), Sendlmeier (1985), Ramer...
