| Abstract [eng] |
Experimental investigation of the quantity, quality and other distinctive features of low non-short vowels in the subdialect of Prienai has shown that vowels of different origin are characterised by different acoustic and articulatory features. The measurement of vowel duration has indicated that [...] are longer thatn those lengthened due to the stress by the ratio of 1.29:1. For this reason they were considered as long and half-long vowels respectively. This has been attested by statistical evaluation, too. Qualitative differences have also been revealed between low long and half-long vowels. The timbre of back low [a] is lower than that of [a.]. The variable articulation is typical of the front low vowels [e] and esp. [æ]. At the beginning of the sound the timbre of [e] and [æ] is slightly lower timbre is typical of [e] and [æ]. |
