Listeners make remarkably few errors in identification of randomly presented tokens of vowels produced by a panel of talkers in fixed consonantal environments. The present study was designed to investigate the sources of perceptual confusions among vowels and to determine whether or not the effects of talker differences on vowel identification are independent of consonantal environment. Tokens of nine American English vowels were spoken in three contexts: (1) in isolation, (2) in a variable consonantal environment (/C1—vowel—C2/, where C1,2 = /b, p, d, t, g, k/), and (3) in a fixed consonantal environment (/p—vowel—p/). Test lists were produced by three representative single talkers (man, woman, child) and by a panel of talkers who differed in vocal‐tract size and characteristic fundamental frequency. Whether produced by the panel or by a single talker, isolated vowels were significantly more often misidentified than were vowels in consonantal environments. Reliable differences in identification of medial...
