“…This result is not in agreement with previous perceptual studies (e.g. [36] , [37] ), which found high rates of identification of /i/ in the context of /t/ or /d/ but low rates of /u/ identification, suggesting that a greater amount of coarticulation occurs between /i/ and /t/. However, the present study is in agreement with the results of Blumstein and Stevens [34] and Sereno et al .…”

“… [28] whose subjects were able to correctly identify both /i/ and /u/ from stop bursts. This discrepancy might be due to the fact that no transition information was contained in the burst stimuli of the Bonneau [36] and Winitz et al . [35] studies.…”

“…Based on the fact that these acoustic alterations are perceptually salient (e.g. [12] , [28] , [36] ), it was predicted in the Introduction that lenited vowels that have reached the stage of elision on the vowel realisation continuum would, nevertheless, coarticulate with their preceding consonant resulting in acoustic differences between a consonant rendered word-final because of vowel elision and a canonical word-final consonant. The prediction is corroborated by the results of the experiment described in the present paper.…”

“…As Winitz et al . [35] suggest, the high burst for /t/ may be interpreted by the listener as /i/, or as Bonneau [36] puts it, the acute spectrum of /t/ might evoke an /i/ timbre. It appears that coarticulatory information in the transitions is very important for the identification of /u/.…”

“…It appears that coarticulatory information in the transitions is very important for the identification of /u/. Bonneau [36] argued that the anticipation of lip rounding is not sufficient to lower the burst so as to allow identification of /u/ from /t/, suggesting that the tongue body cannot assume its target position for /u/ immediately after the burst release. It is, therefore, possible that the apical and velar movements are in conflict, thus preventing a sharp movement towards a steady-state F2 [35] .…”

BackgroundVowel lenition and its link with coarticulation have been the subject of extensive debate in the literature. The aims of the present paper are to demonstrate how vowel lenition and coarticulation are linked in Cypriot Greek (henceforth CG), to determine the nature of vowel lenition, and to illustrate how vowel lenition and coarticulation result from aerodynamic phenomena.Methodology/Principal FindingsEight speakers were recorded producing utterances ending in either /i/ or /u/. Acoustic measures such as V1F2 and stop duration were employed to determine whether lenition of the vowels results in coarticulation with the preceding consonant. Results show that there is extensive stop-vowel coarticulation in CG and that stop production is as variable as vowel production, with full vowels never co-occurring with canonical consonants, indicating the existence of two routes to lenition in CG.Conclusions/SignificanceThese findings suggest that lenition in the final syllable is a consequence of the supralaryngeal articulation coupled with a marginal glottal setting.

Asymmetries in English Vowel Perception Mirror Compression Effects

A series of vowel-identification experiments using gated consonant stimuli shows that English listeners are capable of recovering the vocalic context in which a consonant appears from information contained in the consonant alone. This is true for most consonants tested, including liquids, nasals, and stops in onset and coda position. Positional asymmetries in vowel sensitivity go in opposite directions for liquids (coda sensitivity > onset) and stops (onset > coda). Nasals pattern with liquids in terms of vowel sensitivity from consonant steady states alone, but pat- tern more closely with stops when portions outside the steady state are taken into account. It is argued that these asymmetries are related to patterns of cluster-driven vowel compression (also called ‘compensatory shortening') in speech production.
