Red lines: C = bilabial, black lines: C = alveolar, blue lines: C = velar. From Figure 5.13 it can be read that: � F2 exposes no statistically significant differences with respect to the alveolar and velar context (p > 0.05) 105 , � F2 in bilabial and velar context as well as F3 in all contexts exposes two peaks in the distribution, 105 As can be seen from Figure 5.13, no normal distribution can be assumed. Therefore, a Median Test has been performed.
� F3 shows a high variability in any context. 153 Vowels in Standard Austrian German The /i, y/ vowels in Standard Austrian German are articulated in an acoustically unstable region, this holds especially for /i/, because the front cavity is not lengthened through lip protrusion. As has been stated already, a shift in cavity affiliation takes place when the location of constriction is at about 2/3 length from the glottis. However, as soon as the constriction is widened or constriction length is shortened, this shift in cavity affiliation is withdrawn, F3 is affiliated with the back cavity and consequently drops again. Therefore, /i/ in Standard Austrian German is very sensitive to slight changes in the configurations of constriction degree or constriction length. I.e. in "gib" (to give: IMP) F2 and F3 are both lower than in "gieß" (to water: IMP), consequently, a narrower and longer constriction is planned in "gieß" as compared to "gib". In Figure 5.14 the movements over time of F1, F2 and F3 are plotted on top of each other for two instances of /gib/ and two instances of /gis/, no time alignment has been performed.
