This report looks at acoustic measurements of vowel sounds to compare with already present phonetic sound change in Sydney speakers.
– The introduction could have included more textbook citation where I mention vowel measurement techniques (Johnson, K. (2012) Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics, 3rd Edition, Wiley-Blackwell, Cambridge).
– Plenary feedback for the whole unit expressed making sure any hypotheses link well into the literature mentioned – some broader hypotheses had been made about Australian English language change by students – my draft was originally like this – the scope of the assignment is not that large, only evidence of my own acoustic vowel space can be reported on here with a discussion on how it compares to other patterns in Australian English. However, I do include comments about language change, which can be removed.
– The aim should not have included anything about language change, especially as it is a study of one participant (me) and not longitudinal.
– There was room for more analysis of the Castellano vowel space, and consideration about how it maps onto the Australian vowel space.
Aside from utilising text boxes, I am still unsure of how to use Charis font with any other font as it seems to create odd line spacing in the document.
