Highlights

VOKART. Exotic vowels in Swedish: an articulographic study of palatal vowels [VOKART] (funded by the Swedish Research Council 2011–13). In this project Susanne Schötz, Johan Frid, Anders Löfqvist and Lars Gustafsson are using articulography to investigate lip- and tongue movements of vowels in three Swedish dialects (Malmö, Göteborg and Stockholm Swedish). We focus on three specific issues: the crowding of vowels among the front, close vowels, particularly y and u, the diphthongisation of long vowels, and the special "damped" colour of i and y vowels. The main purpose is to analyse and understand the articulation of these vowels and their dynamics.
