BOTANY 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Obstruent, Phoneme, Underlying Representation
Document Summary
We all have different pitches and therefore different frequencies and it differs speaker to speaker: t dbz normalizes each speaker to help us make better comparisons, t. When the air passes through your mouth the air flow differs // more energy = higher amplitude = louder: f. Diagram c - lower f1 (gap between f1 and f2) mean high vowel. Higher f1 (not as big of a gap between f1 and f2) mean lower vowel. Diagram b - bot and that is the difference to look for. Diagram b has just a very small difference in f1 (the very first line of red dots) 03/27/17: relative values of frequencies matter, because we all have different voices and speak in different frequencies, the quality of the vowel remains the same, true: different vowels are like different instruments. Yes: looking at waveforms we can get information on vot.
