Oral vowels
occur when the velum is raised, cutting off the entry of the airstream into the nasal cavity.
Nasal
vowels
are created when the velum lowers, permitting the airstream to flow through both the oral and nasal cavities
The vowels produced with more tension and more constriction of the vocal tract are called
tense
vowels.
Vowels with less tension and constriction are
lax
vowels.
The vowel called
schwa
[ə] is lax and is characterized by a briefer duration than any other English vowel. It is also an example of a
reduced
vowel.
R-coloring
of a vowel means that a vowel partially takes on the sound qualities of an r sound that follows it and the vowel frequency is lowered.
In English,
one-syllable
words spoken individually never end in lax vowels.
