Abstract

The assimilation of nasality onto vowels spoken in the context of nasal consonants has been documented by research using various methods (aeromechanical, acoustical, biomechanical, perceptual). The research reported used acoustical analog recording and digital analysis techniques to quantify assimilation nasality patterns in Mandarin Chinese as a function of vowel height, place of articulation of the following nasal consonant, and tonal characteristics of the vowel
