这项研究检查了82名成年人加泰罗尼亚语元音的产生，他们在学龄时开始使用西班牙语（S）和加泰罗尼亚语（C），但他们自我报告的加泰罗尼亚语使用百分比不同（11%=MostlyS，40%=S/C，63%=C/S，86%=MostlyC）。通过计算元音/i/-/e/、/u/-/o/、/e/-/e/和/o/-//之间的巴克标准化欧几里德距离来估计元音间产生差异的大小。结果揭示了加泰罗尼亚语用途：加泰罗尼亚语使用得越频繁，加泰罗尼亚语/e/和//的发音就越开放，越不像西班牙语。MostlyC组的/e/-/e/之间的欧氏距离大于MostlyS和S/C组，这也表明加泰罗尼亚语使用的影响。这些研究结果表明，加泰罗尼亚语/e/和/e/是由加泰罗尼亚语的早期学习者谁继续使用西班牙语经常不太成功，尽管事实上，第二语言（加泰罗尼亚语或西班牙语）是在儿童早期获得。
This study examined the production of Catalan vowels by 82 adults who had begun using both Spanish (S) and Catalan (C) at school age but differed in their self-reported percentage of Catalan use (11%=MostlyS, 40%=S/C, 63%=C/S, 86%=MostlyC). Bark-normalized Euclidean distances between the vowels /i/-/e/, /u/-/o/, /e/-/e/ and /o/-/ɔ/ were computed to estimate the magnitude of between-vowel production differences. The results revealed an effect of Catalan use: the more frequently Catalan was used, the more open and less fronted — and thus the less Spanish-like — were productions of Catalan /e/ and /ɔ/. Euclidean distances between /e/-/e/ were greater for the MostlyC group than for the MostlyS and S/C groups, also indicating an effect of Catalan use. These findings suggest that Catalan /e/ and /e/ are produced less successfully by early learners of Catalan who continue using Spanish often despite the fact that the second language (either Catalan or Spanish) was acquired in early childhood.
