Abstract
Abstract: Instrumental phonetic study of Salish languages (Pacific Northwest) has primarily been conducted in the Interior branch of the family. Here, the acoustic properties of vowels in Lushootseed, a language of the Coast Salish branch, are examined, with particular attention to the effects of uvular consonants. Generally in line with what has been found for other languages, Lushootseed vowels adjacent to uvular consonants, including open central a , show an increase in the first formant and a decrease in the second formant (corresponding to lowering and backing, respectively, in articulatory terms).
