On the Hungarian sung vowels

TL;DRAbstract

Singing at a very high pitch is associated with vocal tract adjustments in
\nprofessional western operatic singing. However, as of yet there is an inadequate
\namount of data available on the extent of the acoustic transformation the Hungarian
\nvowels undergo during singing. The author’s purpose is to evaluate the acoustic and
\narticulatory changes of Hungarian vowel qualities, and examine the effect of these
\nchanges on the intelligibility of sounds, which has not yet been done for Hungarian.
\nThe paper contains a brief summary of formerly described tendencies for other
\nlanguages and data for Hungarian from pilot studies carried out by the author with
\nan adult soprano’s and a child’s sung vowels.
