Two sets of data are discussed in terms of an exemplar-resonance model of the lexicon.
First, a cross-linguistic review of vowel formant measurements indicate that phonetic …

According to Flege׳ s Speech Learning Model, the speech sounds of a bilingual׳ s
languages are contained in one common phonological space. This predicts bidirectional …

Reduced frequency range in vowel production is a well documented speech characteristic of
individuals with psychological and neurological disorders. Affective disorders such as …

This dissertation examines the relationship between the structural, phonemic properties of
vowel inventories and their acoustic phonetic realization, with particular focus on the …

Vowels are sound-symbolically associated with valence. Specifically, words
containing/i/(vs./o/) are judged more suitable to denote positive (vs. negative) objects. Here …

Abstract In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird untersucht, welche akustischen Eigenschaften
Füllpartikeln wie äh und ähm in spontansprachlichen Dialogen des Deutschen zeigen und …

To deal with variation in the speech signal, listeners rely on local context, such as speaking
rate in a carrier sentence directly preceding a target, as well as more global properties of the …

Anecdotal evidence suggests that unfamiliar languages sound faster than one's native
language. Empirical evidence for this impression has, so far, come from explicit rate …

Resonance-strategies with respect to vocal registers, ie, frequency-ranges of uniform,
demarcated voice quality, for the highest part of the female voice are still not completely …

It seems as if the fundamentals of how we produce vowels and how they are acoustically
represented have been clarified: we phonate and articulate. Using our vocal chords, we …
