Finding Values for Multi-Valued Features

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this research, multi-valued vowel systems are investigated to find optimal values for features like the advancement, height, and roundedness of vowels. For this purpose, two constraints are supposed to be satisfied: Values for the roundedness feature can discriminate, and the distance between an unrounded vowel and a corresponding rounded vowel may be small enough to show.
