(n.) A combination of two written vowels pronounced as one; a digraph.
Example Sentences:
(1) Errors for monophthongs in reverberation but not in noise seemed to be related to an overestimation of vowel duration, and there was a tendency to weight the formant frequencies differently in the reverberation and quiet conditions.
(2) The effects of noise and reverberation on the identification of monophthongs and diphthongs were evaluated for ten subjects with moderate sensorineural hearing losses.
(3) Errors for monophthongs in noise seemed to be related to spectral proximity of formant frequencies for confused pairs.
(4) It is illustrated that the monophthongal vowel sounds of American English can be represented as clustered in perceptual target zones within a three-dimensional auditory-perceptual space (APS), and it is shown that preliminary versions of these target zones segregate a corpus of vowels of American English with 93% accuracy.
(5) In this experiment, the effects of changes in stress and in rate of speech (tempo) on the acoustic characteristics of American English monophthongal, nonretroflex vowels were examined.
(6) For the diphthongs in both noise and reverberation, there was a tendency to judge a diphthong as the beginning monophthong.
