Identification of vowels excerpted from /l/ and /r/ contexts
Z. B. Bond · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1976
Two experiments were conducted investigating the identifiability of vowels excerpted from context. Five phonetic contexts were investigated: neutral (h-d), initial and final /l/, and initial and final /r/. Vowels were excerpted from these contexts by computer and presented to subjects for identification. The consonantal contexts of initial and final /r/ and /l/ affected the identification of the excerpted vowels in various systematic ways, as compared with the identification patterns of vowels excerpted from the neutral context. Subject Classification: [43]70.30, [43]70.40.[43]70.62.
