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.
