A Contrastive Investigation of Vowel Duration in German and Dutch
Published/Copyright:
November 19, 2009
Abstract
The point of departure for this investigation were some generally accepted impressionistic statements about durational differences between German and Dutch vowels. Acoustic measurements revealed that differences can best be described with a phonological rule (to be applied in German but not in Dutch) rather than be regarded as inherent. Furthermore it appeared that second-language performance with regard to vowel duration is not necessarily predictable from the duration of pronunciation training.
