Subject: </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="HcCDpe">Quantal vowels<br><br></span><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Dear Lowlands-Linguists, can anyone tell me in simple words what "quantal
vowels" are? There is this interesting article <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/channel/being-human/dn13672" target="_blank">http://www.newscientist.com/channel/being-human/dn13672</a>.
The neanderthal's voice, to be sure, is no belcanto, but I can't quite see the
difference to today's humans' voices. In fact I know people who sound like the
neanderthaler :-) Is it possible for a today's human to speak without "quantal
vowels"? </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks in advance!</div>
