Abstract
The phonetic dimension of vowel height seems to be represented reliably and robustly by the difference beween Bark-transformed F1 and F0 [A. K. Syrdal and H. S. Gopal, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 79, 1086–1100 (1986)]. This study examined the relationship between speaking rate and two acoustic-auditory correlates of vowel height. Measurements were made of F0, F1, vowel duration, and sentence durations of /pVC/ target syllables containing one of four pairs of high-low vowels and voiced or voiceless stops or fricatives. Target syllables were produced in sentence context at three different speaking rates by two male and two female native American English speakers. Results will be reported and discussed for two correlates of vowel height: changes in F1 and changes in the difference between Bark-transformed F1 and F0 as a function of speaking rate.
