The paper is a study of the more salient and noteworthy features of the phonological system of the language of Ini / Romblomanon spoken primarily in the province of Romblon. The methods of acoustic phonetics were employed in tackling problems involving the said language's consonantal and vowel inventory and the exact characterization and articulati...

... abovementioned procedures resulted in the following vowel maps: Figure 1 and 2 clearly show that the "vowels" represented orthographically as "o" and "u" constitute but a single phoneme; with various allophonic realizations in different words and contexts. In Table 3 & 4, the mean values of the formants of the vowels of Ini (for male and female speaker, respectively) are listed: If we plot these mean values on a vowel map, we get a clearer picture of where the approximate points of articulation are for each vowel, for each consultant: Figure 5 may indicate that male speakers of Ini generally tend to articulate their vowels higher, i.e, their vowels tend to have a lower F1 than that of female speakers of Ini. Aside from slightly greater height, the vowels of male Ini speakers tend to be more back, relative to that of female Ini speakers. ...

According to Mora (1971) and Dueñas et al. (1971), there are just two types of oral allophones of mid-vowel phonemes in the variety of Spanish spoken in Boyaca, Colombia: closed and mid-closed vowels. In this approach, produced by acoustic methods, it has found two additional allo...
This article investigates the most important dichotomy in phonology—the concept of vocoids and contoids. Pike (1943:66-78) proposed two separate distinctions, one strictly phonetic and the other based on function, or phonological criteria, as a possible solution to this terminology. Pike suggests the words vocoid and contoid for the phonetic distin...
The present study investigated the contribution of phonological relatedness on written production using the blocked cyclic naming paradigm. Participants were instructed to write down picture names in homogeneous and heterogeneous context. In the homogeneous context, items shared a syllable which corresponded to different written forms in various it...
Many languages use pitch to express pragmatic meaning (henceforth ‘tune’). This requires segmental carriers with rich harmonic structure and high periodic energy, making vowels the optimal carriers of the tune. Tunes can be phonetically impoverished when there is a shortage of vowels, endangering the recovery of their function. This biases sound sy...
Language is dynamic. Thus, for English as an international language, it keeps on changing and developing over time. Now there are more non-native English speakers compared to native speakers around the world. Thus, intelligibility becomes fundamental in the world of Englishes. Besides teaching in the English accent (i.e. American or British English...
