Vowel Length and Intelligibility in English as a Lingua Franca.
This study investigates the assertion of Jenkins' (2000) Lingua Franca Core (LFC) that correct vowel length is necessary for ELF intelligibility. Vowel durations of audio tokens from speakers of 9 languages, collected under ELF conditions, were measured. Talkers in this study produced longer vowel l...

Vowel durations of audio tokens from speakers of 9 languages, collected under ELF conditions, were measured. Talkers in this study produced longer vowel lengths for short vowels before voiced consonants than before unvoiced consonants; long vowels did not show the same lengthening effect. Eleven native speakers of Swedish listened to these recordings and indicated which vowel they heard. Listeners were more likely to choose a long vowel when the target vowel was long and a short vowel when the target vowel was short. Both the expected (long vs. short) length of the vowel and actual vowel duration played parts in explaining choice of a long or short vowel by participants, but not voicing of the following consonant. The LFC's contention that vowel length is important for ELF intelligibility is partially supported. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Monolingual & Bilingual Speech (JMBS) is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
