D., duration (ms); I., intensity (dB SPL); P., pitch (Hz). The presented pitch and intensity values for this study are the median of the syllable values. For better comparability with the other studies, the syllable duration is presented although the vowel duration was manipulated. The /ɪ/ vowel duration was increased from 63 ms to 106 ms (68%), the /ӕ/ vowel duration was increased from 80 ms to 134 ms (68%).
