Table 5.

F2 formant transitions (in Bark) for /s/ in three positions spoken by the female talker in the current study (rows 2–5) and similar results for /is/ from the same talker in the Stelmachowicz et al. (2007) study (row 6). In column 2, sign (+/−) indicates the direction of the transition. Column 3 depicts the beginning and end points of the F2 measurements in Hz (vowel midpoint to/from VC or CV boundary). F2 for the boundary is underlined. Because the frequency range of the F2 transition was always well below 5 kHz and F2 transitions were identical between the two bandwidth conditions, only the results for the 10 kHz stimuli are reported here.
