I wish to perform acoustic phonetic analysis of Oral and Nasal vowel phones in a language. I am aware of F1-F2 plot helps in plotting oral vowel phones, but having the confusion of same can be used for nasal vowels. Please suggest me some good reading materials related to acoustic phonetic study of nasal vowels.
Have you read Speech: Invisible Creation in the Air" by Serge Maintier? It may not get at exactly what you specifiy - "acoustic studies" - but it surely gives another whole angle on speech sounds originating from nasal vs oral cavities.
I included his research in a chapter I've got coming out this summer in an integrative medical text book - Serge and I have become professional acquaintances.... if you contact him, tell him I recomennded you!
you can read articles published on acoustic analysis of children with cleft palate by different authors. formant freq is just one of features important for characterizing nasal vowels. bandwidth, amplitude and antiresonance features etc..are also need to be considered.
