|
Vowel height is related to which formant? |
F1 |
|
How is F1 related to vowels? |
Inversely related to vowel height. The higher the tongue is in the mouth, the lower the F1 will be. |
|
What is an average frequency range for the first formant (F1) of a close vowel, such as [i] or [u]? |
280-310Hz. |
|
What is an average frequency range for the first formant (F1) of a close-mid vowel, such as [ɪ] or [ʊ]? |
400-450Hz. |
|
What is an average frequency range for the first formant (F1) of a open-mid vowel, such as [ɛ] or [ɔ]? |
550-590Hz. |
|
What is an average frequency range for the first formant (F1) of a open vowel, such as [æ] or [ɑ]? |
690-710Hz. |
|
Vowel backness is related to which formant? |
F2 |
|
How is F2 related to vowels? |
The more front the tongue is in the mouth, the higher the F2 will be. (Generally). |
|
Why is it better to compare the distance between F1 and F2 for determining vowel backness, as opposed to just examining F2 alone? |
The more front the tongue is, the greater the distance between F1 and F2. |
