| Abstract | In the present study Dutch vowel formant characteristics of laryngectomized tracbeoesophageal speakers are investigated.. Both vowels in CV nonsense syllables (/al, Iii, and /u/), and vowels of stressed syllables in read-aloud text are studied. It appeared that in the nonsense syllables the first formants were comparable to those ·of normal speakers, but that the second formants were higher than in normals for the /a/, and /ii, and lower than in normals for the /u/. In read-aloud text however a large portion of the formant frequencies F1 and F2 was significantly higher than the formant frequencies in normal speakers. It is thought that the higher fonnant frequencies can be explained by the fact that the vocal tract is shorter in laryngectomized speakers, since the neoglottis in these speakers bas a higher position than the vocal folds in normal speakers. |
