Although much is known about the linguistic function of vowel nasality, whether contrastive
(as in French) or coarticulatory (as in English), and much effort has gone into identifying …

It is well known that, for nasal vowels, traditional estimation of the shape of the vocal tract via
inference from acoustic characteristics is complicated by the acoustic effects of …

In some languages, there is a diachronic correspondence between nasal and breathy
sounds, whose origin is often attributed to the acoustic similarities between nasal and …

Although much is known about the linguistic function of vowel nasality, either contrastive (as
in French) or coarticulatory (as in English), less is known about its perception. This study …

The experimental method described in this manuscript offers a possible means to address a
well known issue in research on the independent effects of nasalization on vowel acoustics …

Nasal coarticulation is when the lowering of the velum for a nasal consonant co-occurs with
the production of an adjacent vowel, causing the vowel to become (at least partially) …

There is debate about how coarticulation is represented in speakers' mental grammar, as
well as the role that coarticulation plays in explaining synchronic and diachronic sound …

In a variety of languages, changes in tongue height and breathiness have been observed to
covary with nasalization in both phonetic and phonemic vowel nasality. It has been argued …

The phonological feature [±nasal] does not distinguish systematic oropharyngeal differences
between oral, nasal, and phonetically nasalized vowels. A variety of studies now show that …

It is hypothesized that the phonological status of a phonetic feature across languages
predicts patterns of coarticulatory variation. In French, vowel nasality encodes lexical …
