DOI: 10.1007/s10579-019-09464-6

Abstract: Vowels in Arabic are optional orthographic symbols written as diacritics above or below letters. In Arabic texts, typically more than 97 percent of written words do not explicitly show any of the vowels they contain;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2018.01.006

Abstract: Recent findings demonstrated readers' sensitivity to the distinction between consonant and vowel letters. Especially, the way consonants and vowels are organised within written words determines their perceptual structure. The present work attempted to overcome two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2019.104698

Abstract: Most children are raised in a bilingual environment. However, compared with monolingual language acquisition, relatively little is known about how bilingual children acquire native phonology. Moreover, much less is known about how children acquire knowledge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsv.2018.06.053

Abstract: Abstract Measurements of speech directivity patterns show that it differs according to the phoneme pronounced. In the case of the vowels, these differences can be attributed to variations of the vocal tract shape. The multimodal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.langsci.2018.12.001

Abstract: Abstract It has been previously proposed that small native vowel inventories impede the acquisition of foreign language vowels that come from larger inventories. The present study aims to investigate how the already-formed Greek phonological system… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Neuropsychologia"

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.08.001

Abstract: ABSTRACT The ability to discriminate phonemes varying in spectral and temporal attributes constitutes one of the most basic intrinsic elements underlying language learning mechanisms. Since previous work has consistently shown that professional musicians are characterized… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Neuropsychologia"

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107474

Abstract: This paper examines the processing of height and place contrasts in vowels in words and pseudowords, using mismatch negativity (MMN) to determine firstly whether asymmetries resulting from underlying representations found in the processing of vowels… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of the International Phonetic Association"

DOI: 10.1017/s0025100325100674

Abstract: The study of vowel quality has traditionally been based on single-point formant frequency measurements. There is considerable evidence now acknowledging spectral change as an essential part of the vowel system. Previous descriptions of Singapore English… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0266078425100606

Abstract: Discourse on the existence of Ghanaian English (GhE) has provided several works leading to the descriptions of GhE pronunciations, especially vowels. However, the major challenge is that most of these studies, impressionistically, have provided different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0954394519000085

Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper investigates the California Vowel Shift, previously characterized as a chain shift, in communities across California's Central Valley. An incremental apparent time analysis of 72 Californians’ vowel spaces provides no clear evidence of… read more here.
