An acoustic analysis of the monophthongs of Penang Malay / Muhamad Farid Abdul Latiff

The study aims to examine acoustically the production of monophthongs of Penang Malay by five (5) selected female participants who are of the Jawi Peranakan community. Two (2) female participants of Standard Malay were also selected as a comparator to Penang Malay. The first research question focuse...
