Abstract:
Current interest has centered on the effects of vocal tract impedance changes upon glottal function. The present study was designed to determine fundamental frequency changes between vowels and consonants in simple VCV syllables. Thirteen vocally normal male subjects were asked to phonate the syllables /ava/and /ivi/ at two fundamental frequencies. Their phonations were analyzed by visicorder-caliper methods. The results demonstrated that the consonant in each series typically and significantly lowered the fundamental frequency from 4% to 15%. Although the results were confounded in some subjects by inflectional and erratic behavior beyond our calibrated 0.2% measurement error, the results substantiated the reports of other investigators regarding the importance of mechanical coupling between glottis and vocal cavities.
