Article Description

This is an acoustic analysis of the pronunciation of 11 vowels of a native Japanese speaker. These 11 vowels are compared to that of a native English speaking female and the differences are discussed. Reasons for the differences in pronunciation are mainly attributed to a lack of tongue movement. Pedagogical implications for teachers of Japanese students are also briefly considered.
