Relationships among formant frequency measures of vowels in an “imitation” dialect

Intrinsic fundamental frequency of vowels is moderated by regional dialect.

There has been a long-standing debate whether the intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0) of vowels is an automatic consequence of articulation or whether it is independently controlled by speakers to perceptually enhance vowel contrasts along the height dimension. This paper provides evidence from regional variation in American English that IF0 difference between high and low vowels is, in part,...

Formant Frequencies of Dutch· Vowels

In the present study Dutch vowel formant characteristics of laryngectomized tracbeoesophageal speakers are investigated.. Both vowels in CV nonsense syllables (/al, Iii, and /u/), and vowels of stressed syllables in read-aloud text are studied. It appeared that in the nonsense syllables the first formants were comparable to those ·of normal speakers, but that the second formants were higher tha...

Formant frequencies of Swedish vowels

Formant frequency analysis of children's spoken and sung vowels using sweeping fundamental frequency production.

High-pitched productions present difficulties in formant frequency analysis due to wide harmonic spacing and poorly defined formants. As a consequence, there is little reliable data regarding children's spoken or sung vowel formants. Twenty-nine 11-year-old Swedish children were asked to produce 4 sustained spoken and sung vowels. In order to circumvent the problem of wide harmonic spacing, F1 ...
