Abstract

Articulation of vowels produced by a single speaker of Australian English in CVC contexts was examined using Electromagnetic Articulography. Dorsal articulatory activity for each vowel was compared by tracking the midsagittal trajectories of the tongue body. Articulatory targets were determined and a companion articulatory vowel space constructed. Comparison of dorsal trajectories of vowel pairs /ɐː-ɐ/, /eː-e/, /oː-ɔ/ confirms a close articulatory relationship between long-short pairs that has previously only been examined in the acoustic domain. Long vowels were characterised by greater excursion from the centre of the midsagittal articulatory space, compared to their short equivalents.
