Regressive influence of palatalised consonants on the spectrum of the short vowels in standard Lithuanian

As the spectral analysis showed, in Standard Lithuanian palatalised consonants have a great influence upon the spectrum of the preceding vowels [i], [u], [e] and [a]. The frequencies of the second format (F2) change significantly in position [-C']; the frequencies are much higher. The investigation results are presented in four tables. The research was carried out on a PC in the Laboratory of experimental phonetics of the Philological faculty of Vilnius university
