Spectral analyses of the sibilant fricatives, [s, z, F, z], as spoken in isolation and in initial position before the vowels [a, i, u], were performed for a corpus of 80 utterances. The mean LPC spectra for five utterances of each fricative produced in each vowel context revealed reliable anticipatory vowel coarticulation effects present at least 30–60 ms before vowel onset in the form of spectral peaks affiliated with the second formant of the vowel. Peak frequencies were between 1.5 and 2 kHz and were approximately 100–300 Hz higher before the front vowel [i] than before the back vowels [a, u]. The presence of these peaks in the fricative spectra indicate that during the latter part of the fricative the constriction begins to open in anticipation of the vowel, and, as a consequence, second formant resonances are excited. The acoustic characteristics of these fricative formants varied as a function of vowel context due to differences in the anticipatory coarticulation of the vowel. Fricative place of con...
