Recent phonological approaches incorporate phonetic principles in the motivation of
phonological regularities, eg vowel reduction and neutralization in unstressed position by …

MRI data of German vowels and consonants was acquired for 9 speakers. In this paper
tongue contours for the vowels were analyzed using the three-mode factor analysis …

Speech communication relies on articulatory and acoustic codes shared between speakers
and listeners despite inter-individual differences in morphology and idiosyncratic articulatory …

One of the goals of phonetic investigations is to find strategies for vowel production
independent of speaker-specific vocal-tract anatomies and individual biomechanical …

Three-dimensional tongue shape during vowel production is analyzed using the three-mode
PARAFAC (parallel factors) model. Three-dimensional MRI images of five speakers (9 …

Speech production can be analysed in terms of universal articulatory-acoustic phonemic
units shared between speakers. However, speakers' morphological differences and …

The main aim in this study was to establish whether lax/ɪ/was closer to tense/iː/in Standard
Austrian German (SA) compared with Standard German (SG) and to suggest some possible …

This dissertation presents articulatory and perceptual characteristics of the palatal place of
articulation with the focus on the Hungarian palatal obstruent. This research question is …

This study investigates differences in the implementation of the tense-lax vowel contrast in
three consonantal contexts in Standard Austrian German (SAG) and Standard German (SG) …

Low-dimensional and speaker-independent linear vocal tract parametrizations can be
obtained using the 3-mode PARAFAC factor analysis procedure first introduced by …
