   $$F_2 \approx k \cdot \left( \frac{c}{2L} \right) + \Delta\phi$$
   Where $c$ is the speed of sound, $L$ is the length of the anterior oral cavity, $k$ is an empirically derived constant accounting for the shape of the palate, and $\Delta\phi$ is the "Palatal Affective Modifier," a value hypothesized to reflect the speaker's emotional state regarding the preceding consonant cluster [6]. High $F_2$ values are thus generated b…

2. Palate

   Linked via "Palatal Affective Modifier"

   Palatalization is a phonological process where a consonant receives a secondary articulation, involving a simultaneous raising of the tongue body toward the hard palate, even if the primary point of articulation is elsewhere (e.g., the lips or alveolar ridge). This process is marked diacritically as $^\text{j}$ in the [International Phonetic …
