Abstract

![CDATA[A common assumption about vowel formants is that F1 inversely correlates with tongue height and F2 inversely correlates with tongue backness. This study compared vowel formants and corresponding lingual articulation in Australian English (AusE) for nearly all of the AusE monophthongs. Simultaneous acoustic and electromagnetic articulography (EMA) recordings are reported for four speakers producing multiple repetitions of ten monophthongs. Results show that, while in general formants correspond to the articulatory data, there are also cases in which the typically assumed correspondence breaks down. Consistency in Tongue Dorsum position was observed despite variation in F2.]]
