Abstract

This study examines the acoustic properties of clear speech produced by nonnative speakers of English and investigates whether the strategies that they employ to produce English vowels in clear speech are similar to those of native English speakers. Both groups of speakers exhibited similar acousticphonetic changes between clear and conversational speech.
