TABLE 2.
Input values for the chosen synthesized vowels. F0, F1, F2, and F4 values (in Hz) were collected from M. Fourakis’ archives, F3 values (in Hz) were determined from Nearey (1989), and B1-B4 values (in Hz) were determined from Hawks & Miller (1995). Because the F0 was synthesized with a falling pitch, the F0 measure listed includes the highest value followed by the lowest value.
