| Abstract | The fronting of the vowels /u/ and /o/ is observed in numerous varieties of English, but has been an- alyzed mainly in terms of acoustics rather than ar- ticulation. Because the acoustic correlate of this change, an F2 increase, can be the result of any ges- ture that shortens the front cavity of the vocal tract, it is unknown whether speakers achieve this change through tongue fronting, lip unrounding, or a combi- nation of these strategies. This paper presents articu- latory and acoustic data on back vowel fronting from two varieties of American English: Southern Cali- fornia and South Carolina. It is shown that speak- ers of both varieties retain the rounding gesture for /u/ and /o/, and that the F2 increase is achieved by tongue fronting rather than lip unrounding. |
