Figure 2.

F0-contours for 3 words (triangles for word 2, dots for word 3, and multiplication signs for word 4) spoken by 3 speakers (the lightest color for speaker “a”, a slightly darker color for speaker “c”, and the darkest color for speaker “g”). Each contour was measured at 11 equal distant time points within a vowel (“ə”, “a”, “e”, “i”, or “u”) when a particular word was spoken by one of the eight speakers. Every word was repeated under three different contexts.
