Stop: /g/
Vowel context: /o:/
Burst F2: 1350 Hz
Alveolar and Velar Stops (16)

Vowel context: /@/
Burst F2: 1800 Hz
Alveolar and Velar Stops (18)
Conclusions /d/
• Coarticulatory effects on /6:/ are quite
weak.
• Alveolar place of articulation only allows
for small variation in tongue tip placement.
• Vowel articulations are tongue body rather
than tongue tip articulations so they have
a smaller effect on alveolar tongue tip
placement.

Alveolar and Velar Stops (19)

• /g/ articulations cluster into three groups.
• Front vowels /I/ 2200 Hz
• Central vowels /i: 6: 3: @/ 1800-2000 Hz
(note that /i:/ has a central onglide which
makes it less fronted at its onset).
• Back vowels /o:/ 1350 Hz
