Abstract Six native American English (AE) graduate student talkers produced vowel-consonant (VC) syllables as naturally as possible in 4 experiments. 12 native AE student speakers served as listeners. Data support the hypothesis that relational spectral information is less important for place of articulation identification of nasal components in VC than in consonant^vowel (CV) syllables. Evidence includes lower identification scores for full VC than CV syllables despite comparable intelligibility of the isolated components.
