99 Vowels in Standard Austrian German As becomes apparent from Tables 4.18 – 4.20, the two vowels /e/ and /E/ are clearly kept apart. In the logatome reading task, both speakers discern the pair by all three formants, and in the sentence reading task in the stressed position, all speakers but one discern the pair by all three formants. Figure 4.18 summarizes the results of the statistical analysis: Figure 4.18: Results of the one-tailed t-tests for the vowel pair /e/ – /E/. For each formant and each speaking task, statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) are indicated by crossbeams. Where no differences occur for a given formant, the space is left blank. Legend as in Table 4.12. It can be read from Figure 4.18 that an opposition is maintained for at least one formant in each speaking task (except for speaker sp180 who neutralizes the opposition in the unstressed position in spontaneous speech). However, even more important is the result that in unstressed positions, speakers maintain the opposition in different ways. Apart from the fact that reveals some speaker-specific information, this result also points out that speakers make use of different articulatory configurations and consequently of
