Abstract

The acoustic quality of a vowel is known to he mostly determined by the frequencies of the first formant(F1) and the second formant(F2). The perceptual(or psychological) dimensions of vowel perception were examined in this study. Also the relationships among perceptual dimensions, acoustical dimensions(F1 F2), and articulatory gestures of vowel were discussed. Using mufti-dimensionall scaling(MI S) technique, the experiment was performed in order to identify the perceptual dimensions of the perception of Korean vowel. In the experiment $ Seoul standard speakers performed the similarity rating task of 10 synthesized Korean vowels. Two-dimensional MISS solution based an the similarity rating scores was obtained. The results showed that two perceptual dimensions, Dl and D were coiTelated strongly with F and Fl (r = -,895 and , 78 respectively), and were so interpreted as ´vowel advancement´ and ´vowel height´ respectively. The relationship between the perceptual dimensions of vowel and the articulatory positions of tongue suggested that perception may be directly linked to production. Further research problems were discussed in the final section.
