Phonetic Investigation of Non-written Idiom (as exemplifi ed by the vocalic system of the Beserman dialect of Udmurt)
The study presents an acoustic examination of the 8 monophthongs of Beserman, detailing frequency characteristics of these vowels (the first and second formants) produced in the real word context by 4 male and 3 female speakers. It entails an acoustic analysis combined with statistical self-correction of outcomes. Frequency data is presented in the form of plots illustrating the relative vowel positions in the F1/F2 plane. The results provide data that can be used by researchers who require acoustic information about Beserman vowels.
