TY - JOUR A1 - Elvin, Jaydene A1 - Williams, Daniel A1 - Escudero, Paola T1 - Dynamic acoustic properties of monophthongs and diphthongs in Western Sydney Australian English JF - The journal of the Acoustical Society of America N2 - This study provides a thorough acoustic analysis of the 18 Australian English monophthongs and diphthongs produced in a variety of phonetic contexts by young adult speakers from Western Sydney. The 18 vowels are well separated by duration and dynamic formant trajectory information. Vowel durations and formant trajectories were affected by the consonantal context in which the vowels were produced, particularly those produced in the /hVd/ context. Finally, the results indicate that capturing aspects of vowel inherent spectral change may be useful in future cross-dialectal and cross-linguistic studies. (C) 2016 Acoustical Society of America.
