Acoustic-Behavior Correlates. F2 Onset-Vowel transitions do not explain observed response patterns. (a) Locus equations relating F2 at burst onset and vowel steady state (sustained) for each token (points), split by consonant [colors, same as (b)]. (b) As the difference of a token's distance from the ideal /g/ and /b/ locus equation lines increased (x axis, greater distance from /g/, smaller distance from /b/ in panel b), /b/ tokens obeyed the predicted categorization, while /g/ tokens did not (slopes of colored lines).
