Chapter 9Chapter 9Slide 2
Cardinal vowels = not real language - the extreme positions of the vowel space - use IPA vowel symbols to representA language uses these symbols for the closest vowel like articulation in that language (English [i] is not cardinal [i] but cardinal [i] is closest)
Cardinal vowel (1) = [i] – any further front/high would be
(voiced palatal fricative)Cardinal vowel (5) = - any further lower/back would be
(voiced pharyngeal fric)
Vowel quality in different languages and varieties of the same language differ - not always phonetically accurate

Chapter 9Chapter 9Slide 3
Cardinal vowels pretend equal distance between each vowel, but the front vowels have much further space from high to low than the back vowels (See Figure 9.3, p. 215)

Tongue height not really valid – there is an auditory quality that is more appropriately captured by “vowel height” and can be measured acoustically (F1, F2, etc).

Secondary cardinal vowels are identical to primary, but have opposite lip rounding (plus a couple extra) See Figure 9.5, p. 217

Acoustic analysis of vowels – from Plotnik – Portland speaker (contrast with Figures 9.6-9.8, pp 219-220)Chapter 9
C = syllable closed by Cons; F = free – vowel final; V = closed by voiced Cons or final; 0 = closed by voiceless Cons

Chapter 9Chapter 9Slide 15
Advanced tongue root = ATR - pharyngeal constrictionNot the same as tense/lax but kinda sorta
[ ] = retracted tongue root (-ATR)[ ] = advanced tongue root (+ATR)
Chapter 9 - Vowels and vowel-like articulations
Chapter 9Chapter 9Slide 16
Rhotacized vowels - different ways to produce r-coloring (shown in acoustic signal by lowering of F3)
Nasalization - Vowels are nasalized = air is allowed to escape the nasal passage AS WELL AS the oral passage
Approximants can also be nasalized
Vowel quality - Height, backness, rounding, rhotacization, ATR, nasalization

Chapter 9Chapter 9Slide 17
Secondary articulations (See p.231 – Table 9.5)
Palatalization - as in Russian = added [j] after consonantPalatalized = above; a sound made closer to palatal region (English [k] in word ‘key’ is palatalized); historical process that turns sounds into alveopalatal consonants
Velarization - secondary raising of back of tongue (dark [l] in English)
Chapter 9 - Vowels and vowel-like articulations
Chapter 9Chapter 9Slide 18
Secondary articulations (See p.231 – Table 9.5)
Pharyngealization - narrowing of pharynx (Hebrew, Arabic)
Labialization - additional lip rounding ([w] after/at the same time as consonant)
Labialization + palatalization
