Formant Structures of Vowels Produced by Stutterers in Normal and Fast Speech Rates
Résumé
The aim of this study is to analyse the steady--state portion of the first two formants (F1) and (F2) in the production of [CV] sequences, containing vowels [i, a, u], pronounced in two speech rates (normal and fast), by groups of untreated and treated stutterers, and control subjects. Locus equations have been calculated to observe for potential differences in coarticulatory strategies between the three groups. Data analyses reveal a reduction of vowel space for stutterers at a normal speaking rate. When speech rate increases, no reduction of vowel space is noticeable for the latter group of speakers, contrary to treated stutterers and controls. No significant differences between the three groups have been observed in coarticulatory strategies.
