Abstract	Formant frequencies of standard Slovene have already been analysed by several phoneticians (Lehiste, 1961; ToporiSiC, 1975; Petek et al., 1996; OzbiC, 1998; Tivadar, 2004a). The aim of this study is to present a more in-depth view of stressed vowels and their formant frequencies, in order to address some of the problems that have not yet been considered. A 241-word corpus of one- to three-syllables was compiled according to suprasegmental criteria (stress, tone, duration). Ten subjects were chosen, representative by sex, tone contrast, dialect of origin, etc. F1-F4 of a total of 5,960 vowels were measured using Praat LPC-analysis software. A total of 21,220 readings, or 95.41% were acknowledged. Data were averaged and analysed statistically (ANOVA). The measurements confirm that lexical tone does not influence formant frequencies of most vowels to any statistical significance (see F1 ×F2 vowel space in Fig. 3). However, there are statistically significant differences among accent types of /e/, /α/, /?/, and /u/. While dispersion of /u/ is most probably induced by segmental variables, the differentiation of /e/, /a/ and /?/ can be explained by comparing two varieties of SS, the tonal and the non-tonal. In the latter, the contrast between the tones is statistically insignificant (forthcoming-a). Separate vowel spaces and values are given for female and male speakers (Fig. 4).
