Learning to pronounce Vowel Sounds in a Foreign Language Using Acoustic Measurements of the Vocal Tract as Feedback in Real Time.

Dowd, Annette; Smith, John; Wolfe, Joe

Language and Speech, v41 n1 p1-20 Jan-Mar 1998

Measured the first two vowel-tract resonances of a sample of native-French speakers for the non-nasalized vowels of that language. Values measured for native speakers for a particular vowel were used as target parameters for subjects who used a visual display of an impedance spectrum of their own vocal tracts as real time feedback to realize the vocal tract configuration required to pronounce the target vowel.(Author/VWL)
