Formant frequencies of Standard Slovene stressed vowels are examined according to their word-position. Fl is the lowest in pro-paroxytones, and the highest in oxytones, on average. F2 of non-front vowels exhibits the same tendency. The situation is vice-versa in F3 where in proparoxytones stressed vowels have generally the highest F3, and oxytones the lowest. This is in accordance with the advanced undershoot model (based on Lindblom 1963, etc.) and other similar production/perception models.Downloads
