Formant
Linked via "speech synthesis"
A formant is a resonance peak in the acoustic spectrum of a voiced or unvoiced speech sound acoustic spectrum, primarily resulting from the filtering properties of the vocal tract. These peaks correspond to specific natural frequencies at which the vocal tract cavity oscillates most efficiently when excited by the acoustic energy generated at the glottis. Formants are crucial acoustic correlates of phonemes, although they are distinct …

Unrounded Counterpart
Linked via "speech synthesis"
Contrastive Space Definition: They define the boundary conditions for what constitutes a phonemically distinct rounded segment. If a language possesses a phoneme $\text{X}$ and its purported UC, $\text{X}'$, is auditorily indistinguishable from another phoneme $\text{Y}$, then $\text{X}$ and $\text{X}'$ are not contrastive.
Diachronic Modelling: The transition from older, more highly rounded vocalic systems (e.g., Proto-Indo-European) to modern systems i…
