“…The constriction area for vowels is higher than a minimum value of 0.15 cm 2 . In the 939 present set of simulations, we only considered the three extreme oral vowels /i, a, u/, which 940 provide the preferred choice in human languages (see Schwartz, Boë, Vallée & Abry, 1997). 941…”

“…It is well known that there are clear universal trends in human vowel systems [35] and those adopting the adaptationist view have argued that the features of the vocal tract that enable them, such as the lowering of the larynx [26], or even the distribution of vowels and vowel boundaries themselves [25], have genetically evolved under selectionist pressure for language. On the other hand, it has been shown that those same universal trends reflect constraints of human embodiment (both of the articulatory system and the auditory system) as well as optimality constraints on sound recognition and sound reproduction [27].…”

“…Entre estos esfuerzos podemos mencionar el trabajo pionero de Lijencrants & Lindblom (1972) y, más recientemente, el de Schwartz et al (1997a;1997b). El primero parte de la hipótesis de que las vocales se distribuyen de manera equitativa en el espacio vocálico disponible de la manera más amplia posible dentro de los límites del sistema.…”

“…El trabajo de Schwartz et al (1997a;1997b) propone una teoría de dispersión-focalización (dispersion-focalization theory) para tratar de predecir los patrones adoptados por los sistemas vocálicos con respecto al número de elementos involucrados. En este caso se toma en cuenta no solo la dispersión de las vocales, sino también una focalización local, es decir, si las vocales muestran una prominencia espectral dada por la proximidad entre dos formantes.…”
