Tense/lax vowel classification usin
In English, the feature [tense] or [ATR] (advanced tongue root) has been used to encompass the vowels that are produced on the extreme edges of the acoustic and articulatory spaces. The lax counterparts to these vowels are generally produced closer to the center of those spaces. The present study is based on the hypothesis that the extreme positioning in both articulatory and acoustic space evo...
متن کاملL1 Residue in L2 Use: A Preliminary Study of Quantity and Tense-lax
The main question addressed in this preliminary study is what traces of L1 have been transferred to L2 use. The focus is on the durational aspects of the tense-lax and quantity contrasts in English and Japanese. The results could be interpreted as support for the hypothesis that an L1 durational pattern rather than a specific phonetic feature is the object of transfer.
متن کاملL I Residue in L2 Use: A Preliminary Study of Quantity and Tense-lax
The main question addressed in this preliminary study is what traces of LI have been transferred to L2 use. The focus is on the durational aspects of the tense-lax and quantity contrasts in English and Japanese. The results could be interpreted as support for the hypothesis that an LI durational pattern rather than a specific phonetic feature is the object of transfer.
متن کاملAcoustic characteristics of clearly spoken English tense and lax vowels
Clearly produced vowels exhibit longer duration and more extreme spectral properties than plain, conversational vowels. These features also characterize tense relative to lax vowels. This study explored the interaction of clear-speech and tensity effects by comparing clear and plain productions of three English tense-lax vowel pairs (/i-ɪ/, /ɑ-ʌ/, /u-ʊ/ in /kVd/ words). Both temporal and spectr...
متن کاملIntrinsic F0 differences for German tense and lax vowels
This study examines the vowel-intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0) for tense and lax vowels in German: These show a similar F0 but differ in their articulatory vowel height. This is contrary to commonly accepted biomechanical theories explaining IF0 by a physiological linkage between the upper vocal tract and the larynx. To examine this phenomenon, acoustic, electroglottographic and articulato...
