| Research Abstract |
This study investigated native English speakers' pitch patterns of English noun phrases, Japanese speakers' English cardinal vowel space spanned by Formants 1 and 2, amplitude of sibilants and affricates, F1 and F2 values schwa, and Fo patterns at the sentence level. The possibility for using the accent pattern of "about" as a golden pattern for Japanese speakers was discussed. Finally, the comprehensive fundamental acoustic features of Japanese stutterers and non-stutterers were examined.
