Mathematical Modeling of Vowel Transitions
The movement of the tongue during diphthongization can be approximated using a first-order differential equation modeling the articulatory position $P(t)$ as a function of time $t$. If $P0$ is the initial target and $Pf$ is the final target, the transition velocity $v$ is often modeled as:
