Contrast Maintenance in the Bulgarian and Judeo-Spanish Unstressed Vowels of Heritage Bilinguals
We present an acoustic-phonetic investigation of vowels in the spontaneous speech of heritage speakers of Judeo-Spanish ( /ɛ a ɔ i u/ ) and Bulgarian ( /ɛ a ɔ i ɤ u/ ), alongside monolingual Bulgarians’ vowels.
