samogłoski nie są zbyt skrócone Explanation: Borrowing from Dutch: A syllable ending in a consonant is called 'closed.' A single vowel before that consonant will be covered ('short.') http://www.heardutchhere.net/duspelling.html cccccc covered vowels are short and occur in syllables ending on a consonant uncovered vowels are long and are found at the end of syllables https://books.google.com/books?id=hJ2Y1Ni6LHQC&pg=PA16&lpg=P... |

| Reference: covered/uncovered vowels Reference information: First, it is natural to expect vowels to be phonetically more similar in singing in comparison with speech. That was generally shown for European academic singing (e.g., Sundberg, 1987: 117) as well as for traditional singing (Ross, 1992). This rule,however, is valid only partly for our case. It is obviously correct if applied to Aukštaičiai samples (Fig. 4; top): the Aukštaičiai vowel system covers considerably less space in singing compared to speech. For Dzūkai samples, however, this is not the case (Fig. 4; bottom). We may make the conclusion that the pronounced difference between spoken vowels remains large in singing (Dzūkai). Relatively (slightly) ‘covered’ spoken vowels tend to be even more covered in singing (Aukštaičiai). Thus, singing is likely to be a kind of ‘exaggerated’ speech in terms of covering. In simple words, the Dzūkai ‘sing as they speak’ (uncovered), and the Aukštaičiai ‘sing as they exaggeratedly speak’ (covered). http://www.musicstudies.org/JIMS2008/articles/Ambrazevicius_... |
