Acoustic correlates of Deg Xinag/Ingalik Athabaskan vowels

View through CrossRef
There has been controversy [A. Jerue etal., Deg Xinag Dindlidik. ANLC: Fairbanks (1993)] over the classification of the vowel in the second person plural morpheme (2p) in Deg Xinag/Ingalik as either /o/ or /inverted closed omega/. Acoustic measurements were undertaken towards resolving the issue. F1, F2, F3, and duration were measured for each of the five vowels in the system, /a,e,o,inverted closed omega,schwa/. Contexts were limited to coronal and uvular. F1 and F2 means for data from two speakers indicate that 2p is more like /inverted closed omega/ than /o/. Vowel length data supports this claim.
